Abstract: The objective of this paper is to assess the techno-economic performance of different cycle configurations for pumped thermal energy storage (PTES), including the effects of charging electricity costs. Reversible turbomachinery ...

Abstract: Two-phase turbines offer the potential to significantly enhance the performance of power generation and refrigeration systems. However, their development has been hindered by comparatively lower efficiencies resulting from ...

Abstract: Meanline models play a crucial role in turbine design and system-level analyses, facilitating rapid evaluation of design concepts and prediction of off-design performance. Most of the existing meanline methods are inadequate ...
