Design and experimental evaluation of a PV/T system cooled by advanced methods
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented a numerical design and experimental evaluation of a photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) system cooled by nano-silicon carbide (SiC) and paraffin, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of inlet temperature on the performance of cascade and hybrid storage tank for CSP plants
TL;DR: In this article , a two-phase dispersion-concentric approach is formulated and verified to analyze the system's periodic thermal characteristics, and the results indicate that the hybrid sensible-latent heat storage (HSLHS) case has the highest capacity ratio, utilization ratio, recovered energy, and overall efficiency over the changing inlet temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Nonuniformity in Convective Heat and Mass Transfer through Porous Media, Part 1
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of initial non-uniformity on fluid flow and convective heat and mass transfer in heterogeneous porous media was studied and the effects of material nonhomogeneity and associated transport properties on moisture content of the porous material as a function of drying time was studied.
Modeling and Optimization of Spatially Evolving Heat Sinks Using Volume Averaging Theory
TL;DR: In this article, a volume averaging theory (VAT) model is applied to heat sinks with non-uniform geometry and two numerical solution methods are applied to efficiently solve the resulting set of partial differential equations: a Galerkin method and a fractional step finite difference method.

TauFactor: An open-source application for calculating tortuosity factors from tomographic data
TL;DR: TauFactor is a MatLab application for efficiently calculating the tortuosity factor, as well as volume fractions, surface areas and triple phase boundary densities, from image based microstructural data, without requiring high computational power.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on experience feedback and numerical modeling of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the key aspects of packed-bed thermal energy storage systems and compare the performance of different types of thermal storage systems, including two-tank molten salt technology and thermal stratification.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Prediction of the Emissivity and Thermal Conductivity of Powder Beds
Samuel Sumin Sih,Joel W. Barlow +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for estimating the emissivity of the surface of a powder bed by knowing only the bed porosity and its solid emissivities is presented, and the model is compared with experimental measurements for powder beds of alumina, silicon carbide, and iron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mass-Transfer Properties of Microbubbles. 1. Experimental Studies
Marshall D. Bredwell,R M Worden +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a laser-diffraction technique to determine the interfacial area per unit gas volume, a.k.a. KL, for a synthesis-gas fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Integrated Thermal and Mechanical Investigation of Molten-Salt Thermocline Energy Storage
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive model of a dual-medium thermocline tank that includes both the heterogeneous filler region as well as the composite tank wall is formulated, and the model accounts separately for the rock and molten-salt regions in view of their different thermal properties.
