Thermal energy storage technologies and systems for concentrating solar power plants
TL;DR: In this article, a review of thermal energy storage system design methodologies and the factors to be considered at different hierarchical levels for concentrating solar power (CSP) plants is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical Investigation of Flow and Heat Transfer Performance of Nano-Encapsulated Phase Change Material Slurry in Microchannels
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of a nano-encapsulated phase change material slurry in a manifold microchannel heat sink was analyzed, where the slurry was modeled as a bulk fluid with varying specific heat.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a refraction-based methodology for concentrating sunlight is proposed to augment the pure water production of a conventional solar still, where the Fresnel lens (FRL) was integrated with a singlebasin, single-slope solar still to refract the incident sunlight to a focal point that was constantly located on the basin bottom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can face masks offer protection from airborne sneeze and cough droplets in close-up, face-to-face human interactions?-A quantitative study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantitatively verified the notion that a susceptible person wearing a face mask is safe, at least to a large extent, from foreign airborne sneeze and cough droplets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of a High-Temperature Packed-Bed Sensible Heat Thermal Energy Storage System With Large-Sized Elements
TL;DR: In this paper, a high temperature sensible heat thermal energy storage (TES) system is designed for use in a central receiver concentrating solar power plant, where air is used as the heat transfer fluid and solid bricks made out of a high storage density material are used for storage.
