Studies on the ion-droplet mixed regime in colloid thrusters

A comprehensive survey of the literature in the area of numerical heat transfer (NHT) published between 2000 and 2009 has been conducted Due to the immenseness of the literature volume, the survey

Literature Survey of Numerical Heat Transfer (2000–2009): Part II

A physical and thermodynamic model of space solar dynamic heat receivers employing solid-liquid phase change storage is developed. Generalized first and second law efficiencies are defined for cyclic operation. The solar heat received of NASA Glenn Research Center's Solar Dynamic Ground Test Demonstration System is used to generate numerical results from startup through balanced-orbit (asymptotic) conditions. In addition, a parametric study is performed to assess changes in receiver first and second law efficiencies due to changes in various system measurable parameters. Results show that parametric changes in system parameters result in maximum deviations of the asymptotic first law efficiency of less than 5 percentage points. The maximum departures of the asymptotic second law efficiency are less than 4 percentage points. Although the NASA receiver configuration is not optimized for cyclic thermodynamic performance, the cycle-integrated first and second law efficiencies compare favorably with steady-state numerical and experimental first and second law efficiencies.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Space Solar Dynamic Heat Receivers with Cyclic Phase Change

Due to recent catastrophic events such as hurricanes and heavy rainstorms, the energy infrastructure of Honduras has been significantly damaged. The situation is compounded by electrical transmission and distribution problems as well as inadequate river flow during the dry season. In this paper, a detailed assessment is made of the current energy production capabilities of Honduras, mainly hydroelectric and thermal power plants, along with a strategy to recover from catastrophic events while ensuring long-term growth in energy production capability. With moderate yearly growth demand of approximately 3 to 6%, this is vitally important to the economic future of Honduras since any excess demand over the production capacity would require the purchase of excess energy from neighboring countries or through other means, which subsequently increases the national debt.

A quasi-steady analytical solution to freezing planar laminar Couette flow with viscous heating effects is presented. Closedform expressions for the dimensionless freeze-front location, interface Nusselt number, and dimensionless power density (or dimensionless shear stress) are derived as a function of various dimensionless parameters. Several classical results are obtained in the appropriate asymptotic limits
