Abstract: Supercritical CO2 (SCO2) power cycles have demonstrated significant performance improvements in concentrated solar and nuclear applications. These cycles promise an increase in thermaltoelectric conversion efficiency of ...

Abstract: Thermoacoustic instabilities can occur in a wide range of combustors and are prejudicial since they can lead to increased mechanical fatigue or even catastrophic failure. A well-established formalism to predict the onset, ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation on the anisotropic permeability of coal under cyclic loading and unloading conditions is presented in this article. The results show that coal permeability decreases with increasing hydrostatic ...
