Energy efficiency of membrane distillation: Simplified analysis, heat recovery, and the use of waste-heat

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermal desalination process that is advantageous due to its ability to harness low-grade waste heat to separate highly saline feedstock. However, like any thermal desalination process, the energy efficiency depends on the

A new method to identify the optimal temperature of latent-heat thermal-energy storage systems for power generation from waste heat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The integration of thermal-energy storage (TES) within waste-heat recovery power generation systems has the potential to improve energy-efficiency in many industrial processes with variable and/or intermittent waste-heat streams.

Latent Heat Thermophotovoltaic Batteries

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2021
Latent heat thermophotovoltaic (LHTPV) batteries store electricity as latent heat at very high temperatures (>1,000°C) and convert this heat back to electricity on demand using thermophotovoltaics (TPVs). In this study, we discuss the techno-economics of LHTPV systems, focusing on parameters such as the round-trip efficiency, energy-to-power ratio ...

Latent heat in the chiral phase transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The chiral phase transition at finite temperature and density is discussed in the framework of the QCD-like gauge field theory. The thermodynamical potential is investigated using a variational approach.

The Impact of Heat Exchangers’ Constructions on the Melting and Solidification Time of Phase Change Materials

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
An application of latent heat thermal energy storage systems with phase change materials seems to be unavoidable in the present world. The latent heat thermal energy storage systems allow for storing excessive heat during low demand and then releasing it

SU(3) Latent Heat and Surface Tension from Tree Level and Tadpole Improved Actions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We analyze the latent heat and surface tension at the SU(3) deconfinement phase transition with tree level and tadpole improved Symanzik actions on lattices with temporal extent $N_\tau = 3$ and 4 and spatial extent $N_\sigma/ N_\tau = 4$, 6 and 8.

Air-Sea Heat Flux Variability in the Southeast Indian Ocean and Its Relation With Ningaloo Niño

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Previous studies suggest that both air-sea heat flux anomalies and heat advection caused by an anomalous Leeuwin Current play an important role in modulating the sea surface temperature (SST) variability associated with the Ningaloo Niño.
