Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of design on performance of a latent heat storage system for a direct steam generation power plant
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model for the design of a storage unit is presented and the effectiveness of the storage is considered as the design criterion in this model and the influence of various design parameters on the effectiveness is explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of cycling behaviour of pilot-scale thermal oil packed-bed thermal storage system
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive experimental study of dual media thermocline thermal energy storage using rock and sand as solid matrix and thermal oil as heat transfer fluid is presented, which is devoted to the establishing of repeatable behaviours observed with multiple charge/discharge cycles and to the influences of operating parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat Transfer Across Metal-Dielectric Interfaces During Ultrafast-Laser Heating
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of direct electron-phonon coupling across the metal-dielectric interface was investigated by employing transient thermo-reflectance (TTR) measurements on Au-Si samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
PCM incorporation in a concrete core slab as a thermal storage and supply system: Proof of concept
TL;DR: In this paper, a constructive system consisting of a prefabricated concrete slab with phase change materials (PCM) macro-encapsulated in small tubes and inserted in its hollows was designed to act as a hybrid system between the passive and active ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
A scale model to evaluate water evaporation from indoor swimming pools
TL;DR: In this article, a purposely designed experimental apparatus was used to measure the water evaporation rate from a pool scale model inserted into a climatic chamber to control environmental conditions, and the experimental data were obtained varying various parameters such as water temperature, air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity.
