A thermal energy storage process for large scale electric applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of thermal energy storage process for large scale electric applications was presented, based on a high temperature heat pump cycle which transformed electrical energy into thermal energy and stored it inside two large regenerators, followed by a thermal engine cycle which transforms the stored thermal energy back into electrical energy.

The prediction of laminarization with a two-equation model of turbulence
W.P. Jones,Brian Launder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the local turbulent viscosity is determined from the solution of transport equations for the turbulence kinetic energy and the energy dissipation rate, and the predicted hydrodynamic and heat-transfer development of the boundary layers is in close agreement with the measured behaviour.
