Understanding mixing efficiency in the oceans: Do the nonlinearities of the equation of state matter?

, 2009
There exist two central measures of turbulent mixing in turbulent stratified fluids, both caused by molecular diffusion: 1) the dissipation rate D(APE) of available potential energy (APE); 2) the turbulent rate of change Wr,turbulent of background ...

Energy generation from salinity gradients with reverse electrodialysis

, 2018
Salinity gradient energy is the energy that can be harvested from mixing two solutions with different salinities. In the Netherlands, this energy is popularly know as 'Blue Energy'. Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is used to harvest this clean, sustainable and renewable source of energy.

ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICES BASED IN MIXING ENTROPIC BATTERY FOR BLUE ENERGY RECOVERY. A REVIEW

Avances en Ciencias e Ingeniería
Blue energy, an intriguing alternative, takes advantage of the chemical energy that is spontaneously released when two water solutions with different salt concentrations coincide, such as at the mouths of rivers that flow into ocean basins.
