Abstract: Experience with maintenance of brine transparency during the more than eight years of operation of the 1000 m2 Research Salinity Gradient Solar Pond (RSGSP) at Argonne National Laboratory suggests ...

Abstract: Analysis of heat transfer in solar collectors with heat-pipe absorbers is compared to that for collectors with flow-through absorbers for systems that produce hot water or other heated fluids. ...

Abstract: Heat transfer factors and thermal efficiency are calculated for a heat pipe absorber array connected to a common manifold. Arrays with less than ten heat pipes are shown to have significantly ...

Abstract: Nonlinear behavior caused by wheel flanges, worn wheel treads, and dry friction can have an important effect on rail-vehicle stability. In this paper the influence of such nonlinearities on the ...

Abstract: A recording depth sounding instrument has provided several different diagnostic measurements in the 1000 m2 Research Salt Gradient Solar Pond at Argonne National Laboratory. The sounder has been ...

Abstract: A computer model was developed to predict eddy currents and fluid flows in molten steel. The model was verified by comparing predictions with experimental results of liquid-metal containment and ...
