Abstract: A number of studies have been performed to assess the potential of using supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2) in closedloop Brayton cycles for power generation. Different configurations have been examined among which ...

Abstract: Experimental and theoretical simulations of a novel sustainable desalination process have been carried out. The simulated process consists of pumping seawater through a solar heater before flashing it under vacuum in an ...

Abstract: This study describes the development and characterization of novel hightemperature thermal storage media, based on inclusion of transition metal chlorides in the potassium–sodium chloride eutectic system, (K–Na)Cl ...

Abstract: Supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) can be used both as a heat transfer and working fluid in solar power tower plants. The main concern in the design of a direct sCO2 receiver is the high operating pressures, i.e., close ...

Abstract: This paper presents a performance analysis of a supercritical organic Rankine cycle (SORC) with various working fluids with thermal energy provided from a geothermal energy source. In the present study, a number of pure ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the heat transfer during the melting process of a hightemperature (>800 آ°C) phasechange material (PCM) encapsulated in a vertical cylindrical container. The energy ...
