Life-Cycle Assessment of Sector-Coupled National Energy Systems: Environmental Impacts of Electricity, Heat, and Transportation in Germany Till 2050

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2021
National energy models provide decarbonization strategies. Most national energy models focus on costs and greenhouse gas emissions only. However, this focus carries the risk that burdens shift to other environmental impacts.

Simulation-Assisted Determination of the Minimum Melting Temperature Composition of MgCl2–KCl–NaCl Salt Mixture for Next-Generation Molten Salt Thermal Energy Storage

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2022
Molten chloride mixtures such as MgCl2–KCl–NaCl are potential thermal energy storage (TES) materials and heat transfer fluids (HTFs) for next-generation concentrating solar power (CSP) systems due to their high operation temperatures (>700°C) and low ...

Can the entanglement entropy be the origin of black-hole entropy ? [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Entanglement entropy is often speculated as a strong candidate for the origin of the black-hole entropy. To judge whether this speculation is true or not, it is effective to investigate the whole structure of thermodynamics obtained from the entanglement

Thermodynamic analysis of gravitational field equations in Lyra manifold [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Considering the Einstein field equations in Lyra manifold, and applying the unified first law of thermodynamics as well as the Clausius relation to the apparent horizon of FRW universe, we find the entropy of apparent horizon in Lyra manifold.

The Use of Organic Rankine Cycles for Recovering the Heat Lost in the Compression Area of a Cryogenic Air Separation Unit

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The use of organic Rankine cycles (ORCs) is a viable solution for the recovery of waste heat. For an air separation unit (ASU) with a production of V˙O2=58300mN3/h operating in Romania, the value of utilization of the heat transferred to the cooling ...

Higher derivative corrections to near-extremal black holes in type IIB supergravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We discuss string theory alpha' corrections to charged near-extremal black 3-branes/black holes in type IIB supergravity. We find that supersymmetric global AdS_5 x S^5 geometry is not corrected to leading order in alpha', while charged or non-extremal ...

Multiscale Thermodynamics

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Multiscale thermodynamics is a theory of the relations among the levels of investigation of complex systems. It includes the classical equilibrium thermodynamics as a special case, but it is applicable to both static and time evolving processes in externally and internally driven macroscopic systems that are far from equilibrium and are investigated at

Thermodynamics of Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole: thermal stability of Nariai black hole [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We study thermodynamics of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole in five dimensions by introducing two temperatures based on the standard and Bousso-Hawking normalizations. We use the first-law of thermodynamics to derive thermodynamic quantities.

Energy and exergy analysis of a flat plate collector using collector test equations [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2020
This paper presents the energetic and exergetic analysis of a widely used flat plate collector based on the collector testing equations. The evaluation of the performances of the collector is done under the climatic conditions corresponding to a typical ...

On phantom thermodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2008
The thermodynamic properties of dark energy fluids described by an equation of state parameter $ω=p/ρ$ are rediscussed in the context of FRW type geometries. Contrarily to previous claims, it is argued here that the phantom regime $ω0$ and $S>0$ in the course of the Universe expansion.
