Moving bed heat exchangers (MBHEs) are used in various industrial processes. Recently, analytical solutions to several MBHE heat transfer problems have been presented in the literature. In this work, the mathematical ...

The Archimedes screw is one of the oldest machines in the world, and has been used for various applications including hydroelectric power generation. This project investigated the effect of inlet conditions on a laboratory-scale ...

As an alternative fuel, compressed natural gas (CNG) plays an important role fueling transportation. Like driving other types of vehicles, drivers of CNG-powered vehicles prefer to refill on-board CNG tanks in a short time, ...

Lithium ion batteries play important roles as energy storage solutions in electric vehicle, portable devices, and renewable energy systems. There are many issues facing lithium ion batteries. One of them is the long charging ...

Lower cost, lighter weight, and higher electrical conductivity are among many advantages of using metallic bipolar plates (BPs) over the conventional graphitic materials in PEM fuel cell applications. In this study, ...

In the present work, natural gas combined cycle power generation configurations are investigated with oxyfuel combustion. Steam is also injected in main combustion chamber and reheat combustion chamber to understand the ...

This work presents an analytical methodology for development of a mechanical band pass filter for energy scavenging. The model is based on Adomian decomposition method to derive the dynamic response of the non-uniform smart ...

In the present work, combined cycle power generation configuration studies with natural gas as a primary fuel. Steam is injected in main combustion chamber and reheat combustion chamber individually and simultaneously to ...

Due to rising global environmental issues, electric vehicles (EV) are growing in popularity and will eventually replace vehicles that use internal combustion engines (ICE). EVs draw their power from batteries. Batteries ...

This paper reports a numerical analysis of solar-driven seawater desalination systems with two configurations: a floating photo-thermal film at the air-water interface with and without an insulation layer located beneath ...
