Journal ArticleDOI
A MINLP optimization of the configuration and the design of a district heating network: Academic study cases
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a tool for the design assistance of district heating networks (DHN) by solving a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem in steady state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Large Eddy Simulation in a Very Simplified Geometry of a Solar Receiver
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of thermal gradients on a turbulent channel flow with imposed wall temperatures for two turbulent Reynolds numbers based on the friction velocity was investigated, and the authors concluded that for a temperature ratio of 2, they can use a constant subgrid-scale Prandtl number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous optimization of the district heating network topology and the Organic Rankine Cycle sizing of a geothermal plant
TL;DR: The optimization of parallel distribution between electricity and heat production for a geothermal plant and the strategy used to overcome the critical point of the initialization of the MINLP problem is presented highlight the relevance of the simultaneous approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-temperature gradient effect on a turbulent channel flow using thermal large-eddy simulation in physical and spectral spaces
TL;DR: In this article, thermal large-eddy simulations (TLES) were used to study nonisothermal plane channel flows using the method of thermal largeeddy simulations, where several temperature ratios (TR =TH /TC ) were investigated, where TC and TH are the temperatures of the cold and hot sides, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turbulent kinetic energy spectrum in very anisothermal flows
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Kolmogorov scaling law is no longer valid when the flow is submitted to strong dilatational effects caused by high temperature gradients and propose a model that estimates the time scale of the triple decorrelation incorporating the influences of the temperature gradient.
