Abstract: Compared to solar photovoltaics, concentrated solar power (CSP) can store excessive solar thermal energy, extend the power generation, and levelize the mismatch between the demand and supply. Thermal energy storage (TES) ...

Abstract: Thermoacoustics (TA) deals with the conversion of heat into sound and vice versa. The device that transfers energy from a low-temperature reservoir to a high-temperature one by utilizing acoustic work is called TA cooler ...

Abstract: A concentrated solar power (CSP) plant typically has thermal energy storage (TES), which offers advantages of extended operation and power dispatch. Using dualmedia, TES can be costeffective because of the reduced use of ...

Abstract: Aluminum alloys, which are high-strength lightweight materials, were processed by selective laser melting (SLM) with high-energy consumption and poor finish due to quick heat dissipation. Previous investigations reported ...

Abstract: Eutectic salts NaCl-KCl-ZnCl2 and NaCl-KCl-MgCl2 are two of the chloride salt systems that are promising for being used as high-temperature heat transfer fluid (HTF) and thermal energy storage (TES) materials in a wide ...

Abstract: Saturated vapor condensation on homogenous and heterogeneous subcooled walls is presented in this study by adopting a hybrid phase-change multiple-relaxation-time Lattice Boltzmann model. The effects of wall wettability ...

Abstract: 3D-printing technology was applied to fabricate novel solar thermal collection tubes that have internal heat transfer enhancement fins and external surfaces with high solar absorptivity and low emissivity due to the ability ...

Abstract: The flow and heat transfer (FHT) in porous volumetric solar receiver was investigated through a double-distributed thermally coupled multiple-relaxation-time (MRT) lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) in this study. The MRT-LBM ...
