Combustion Heated Thermionic Systems
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992 <div class="htmlview paragraph">Thermionic cogeneration is developing as a new energy conservation option. The characteristics of thermionic systems using combustion of natural gas as heat source are studied. The - until now unused - high temperature potential of fuels can be applied in order to extract work using the high temperature thermionic ...

The Concept of Segmented Wind Turbine Blades: A Review
Energies, 2017 There is a trend to increase the length of wind turbine blades in an effort to reduce the cost of energy (COE). This causes manufacturing and transportation issues, which have given rise to the concept of segmented wind turbine blades.

8-stroke low heat rejection engine
Energy Reports, 2022 In a combustion engine, 25% of the energy present in the fuel is wasted as heat; this heat is dissipated to avoid overheating and prevent damages. This article presented a simulation work developed to study an internal combustion engine with a low heat ...

Hybrid RANS/LES computation of plane impinging jet flow
Archives of Mechanics, 2011 Flow characteristics are presented of simulation results of plane impinging jets at high nozzle-plate distances, with two k-ω based hybrid RANS/LES (Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes/Large–Eddy Simulation) models and a k-ω RANS model. The first hybrid RANS/

Comparison of Moving Boundary and Finite-Volume Heat Exchanger Models in the Modelica Language
Energies, 2016 When modeling low capacity energy systems, such as a small size (5–150 kWel) organic Rankine cycle unit, the governing dynamics are mainly concentrated in the heat exchangers. As a consequence, the accuracy and simulation speed of the higher level system
