Abstract: A new type of thermodynamic cycle originating from extended application of the heat pipe principle is proposed and its thermal cycle is discussed from the viewpoint of theoretical thermal ...

Abstract: This paper presents the response of symmetric crossply laminated shallow shells with an internal resonance ω2≈ω3, where ω2 and ω3 are the linear natural frequencies of the asymmetric vibration ...

Abstract: There is a strong demand for efficient and clean power-generating systems to meet recent energy-saving requirements and environmental regulations. A combined cycle power plant is one of the best ...

Abstract: It is very essential to raise the thermal efficiency of combined cycle plants from the viewpoint of energy saving and environmental protection. Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc., and Toshiba ...
