Comparison of Measured and Modeled Turbulence Spectra for a Point Rotating as on a Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical model of the spectrum of rotationally sampled wind speed is tested against corresponding measured wind spectra. The ability to generate such a spectrum, independent of measurement, ...
Design, Construction, and Initial Operation of a 3355 m2 Solar Pond in El Paso
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A 3355 square meter, 3.3 m deep water storage pond in El Paso, Tex. was converted to a salt-gradient solar pond to supply industrial process heat to an adjacent food processing plant. ...
Two-Phase Heat Transfer in Thermosyphon Evacuated-Tube Solar Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work analyzes the heat transfer within a tilted thermosyphon and its use in a heat pipe evacuated-tube solar collector. A detailed examination is made of the laminar film condensation ...
Numerical Simulation of the Charging of Liquid Storage Tanks: Comparison With Experiment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The degree of thermal stratification maintained in hot water storage tanks has a significant impact on the performance of a solar energy system. This paper presents an axisymmetric finite volume ...
Analysis and Observations of Wind Turbine Yaw Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Two models of the yaw behavior of horizontal axis wind turbines are presented and discussed. Emphasis in this paper is on the description of the models and underlying assumptions with details ...
Development of an Optimal Control Strategy for the Themis Solar Plant: Part I—Themis Transient Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This first part of a twofold article is devoted to the presentation of a model of the Themis central receiver solar plant. The Themis experiment showed that the energy balance is deteriorated ...
