Thermal/fluid characteristics of isotropic plain-weave screen laminates as heat exchange surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple-to-fabricate woven mesh, consisting of bonded laminates of two-dimensional plain-weave conductive screens is described, and a mathematical model of the thermal performance of such a mesh, deployed as a heat exchange surface is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the Effective Viscosity of Non-newtonian Fluids Flowing Through Porous Media
Ursin Eberhard,Hansjoerg Seybold,Marius Floriancic,Pascal Bertsch,Joaquin Jimenez-Martinez,Joaquin Jimenez-Martinez,José S. Andrade,Markus Holzner +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a semi-analytical expression for the local viscosity profile using a Carreau type fluid, which is a more broadly applicable model than the power-law model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parametric Analysis of a High Temperature Packed Bed Thermal Storage Design for a Solar Gas Turbine
TL;DR: In this paper, a post-print version of the work is published, with the definitive version published in 2015 Elsevier's Journal of Solar Energy, vol. 118, pp 59-73.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model-based design, control and optimisation of catalytic distillation processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits of using dynamic models of different complexity and size for process design, optimal operation and control of catalytic distillation (CD) processes are discussed for the case study of the heterogeneously catalysed reactive distillation of methyl acetate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal recovery from a fractured medium in local thermal non‐equilibrium
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated thermal recovery from a hot dry rock (HDR) reservoir viewed as a deformable fractured medium with a focus on the assumption of local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE).

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.
