Influence of buoyancy on turbulent mixed convection of LBE in a uniform |
|
|
The liquid lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) is a highly promising coolant for new generation nuclear reactors. The experimental loop is usually arranged inclination or vertical for preventing LBE clogging tube at emergency conditions. Because of the high density and low Prandtl number, LBE natural convection due to ... |

Performance investigation of parabolic trough solar receiver |
|
|
The influences of some parameters on the performance of parabolic trough solar receiver are investigated in the present work. When the mass flow rate of working fluid, ambient temperature and solar incident angle increase, the heat losses of solar receiver decrease. The exergy losses of solar receiver increase ... |

Structural failure analysis of wind turbines impacted by super typhoon Usagi |
|
|
Extreme winds severely endanger structural integrity of wind turbines. In order to understand failure mechanisms of wind turbine structures under extreme wind conditions, this paper presented a study on structural failure of wind turbines damaged by super typhoon Usagi in 2013. A particular focus was placed on ... |
