Journal ArticleDOI
An assessment of ocean thermal energy conversion as an advanced electric generation methodology
TL;DR: The history of ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC), a process that employs the temperature difference between surface and deep ocean water to alternately evaporate and condense a working fluid, is reviewed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of the applied mechanical problems in ocean thermal energy conversion
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the mechanical applications in the ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) system is presented, including steam turbine specific for OTEC system, the wake induced by the long cold water pipe and the turbidity currents on the steep slope.
Journal ArticleDOI
