Abstract: Molten salts are employed as the heat transfer fluid to carry the thermal energy from a solar receiver or a nuclear reactor for delivering to thermal storage systems or thermal power plants for power generation. For the ...

Abstract: Finite element method (FEM) has been used to find out the fundamental reason of shape function due to the nonconvergence of stress in calculating the trapezoidal tooth dovetail attachments of aeroengine. We have used two ...

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: Imbibition under overburden pressure can simulate the imbibition behavior in reservoir conditions during hydraulic fracturing, about which the mechanism is still unclear. This study investigated the imbibition with overburden ...

Abstract: A nonlinear energy sink (NES) approach is proposed for whole-spacecraft vibration reduction. Frequency sweeping tests are conducted on a scaled whole-spacecraft structure without or with a NES attached. The experimental ...

Abstract: The present study aims to investigate the steady-state response regimes of a device comprising a nonlinear energy sink (NES) and a giant magnetostrictive energy harvester utilizing analytical approximation. The ...

Abstract: Underground gas storage (UGS), a key component of a natural gas pipeline network, can not only be used as an emergency gas source under a pipeline system failure situation but it is also available for seasonal peak shaving ...
