Abstract: A plate fin is an extended surface made from a plate. Classical longitudinal and radial fins are particular cases of plate fins with very simple shapes and no curvature. In this paper, the problem of a flat plate fin of ...

Abstract: The considerable energy waste in maritime transport and the need to obtain alternatives to reduce emissions of polluting gases are factors that have motivated the study of waste heat recovery systems for marine engines. ...

Abstract: Abstract. In this work, a generalized model using the Lee–Kesler approach based on the corresponding states principle is developed to assess the performance of subcritical Organic Rankine Cycles operating with different ...

Abstract: The influence of correlations on the thermal performance modeling of parabolic trough collectors was analyzed in this work. A versatile model for a parabolic trough collector was developed that allows one- and two-dimensional ...
