Abstract: We present a thermodynamic and cost analysis of synthesis gas (syngas) production by the Zn/ZnO solar thermochemical fuel production cycle. A mass, energy, and entropy balance over each step of the Zn/ZnO syngas production ...

Abstract: The effect of a cylindrical baffle on heat transfer to an immersed heat exchanger is investigated in initially thermally stratified tanks. The heat exchanger is located in the annular region created by the baffle and the ...

Abstract: In this work, we investigate the effects of the width of an annular baffle region on natural convection heat transfer to an immersed, coiled heat exchanger in an otherwise quiescent sensible hot water storage tank. In the ...
