Theoretical Analysis of Vuilleumier’s Hypothetical Engine and Cooler

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Vuilleumier machines are a promising technology for heating. Respective performances of Vuilleumier’s engine and cooler are generally unclear. In Stirling machines, performances can be determined based on PV power flow and heat flow methods. In this work,

One‐Step Electrodeposition of Iron Oxyhydroxide Onto 3D Porous Graphene Substrates for on Chip Asymmetric Micro‐Supercapacitors

open access: yesBatteries &Supercaps, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2025.
A micro‐supercapacitor with electrodeposited iron oxyhydroxide (FeOOH) as the negative electrode and birnessite manganese oxide (MnO2) as the positive electrode achieves a 2 V working voltage, stable cycling in an aqueous electrolyte, and high energy and power densities of 21 μWh cm‐2 and 2.5 mW cm‐2 respectively.

Optimizing thermodynamic trajectories using evolutionary and gradient-based reinforcement learning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Using a model heat engine, we show that neural network-based reinforcement learning can identify thermodynamic trajectories of maximal efficiency. We consider both gradient and gradient-free reinforcement learning.

How Cooperatives Embed Circularity in Their Business Models and Governance—Results From an International Survey

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cooperatives as a democratic form of economic organization are an emerging focus in research on the social dimensions of circular economy. However, there is no international database on cooperatives and circular economy, impeding systematic analysis.

Towards justice‐oriented climate change and sustainability education: Perspectives from school teachers in England

open access: yesThe Curriculum Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Education, including school education, is widely understood as fundamental to a just response to global climate and ecological crises. We examined the practices of teachers based in England focused on climate change and sustainability education (CCSE).

Evaluation of a second order simulation for Sterling engine design and optimisation

open access: yesJournal of Energy in Southern Africa, 2017
This paper reports on the investigation of the simulation accuracy of a second order Stirling cycle simulation tool as developed by Urieli (2001) and improvements thereof against the known performance of the GPU-3 Stirling engine.

Coupling of energy conversion systems and wellbore heat exchanger in a very deep oil well [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The conventional geothermal power plants use the reinjection wells mostly to avoid the depletion of the geothermal reservoir gathering in the underground of the produced brine.

Performance analysis of different arrangements of a new layout dish-Stirling system

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2021
Cascade solar thermal systems provide a new direction for solar power generation. This paper focuses on the configuration optimization of a cascade solar system in which a Stirling engine array is applied. The array has multiple configurations.
