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 ... • Smart fatigue load control on the large-scale wind turbine blades using diffe...   　　This paper presented a numerical study on the smart fatigue load control of a large-scale wind turbine blade. Three typical control strategies, with sensing signals from flapwise acceleration, root moment and tip deflection of the blade, respectively, were mainly investigated on our newly developed aero-servoel... • Thermodynamics investigation of a solar power system integrated oil and molte...   　　In this paper, a new parabolic trough solar power system that incorporates a dual-solar field with oil and molten salt as heat transfer fluids (HTFs) is proposed to effectively utilize the solar energy. The oil is chosen as a HTF in the low temperature solar field to heat the feeding water, and the high tempera... • 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 ... • Comparative study of the influences of different water tank shapes on thermal...   　　The influences of different water tank shapes on thermal energy storage capacity and thermal stratification in the static mode of operation is investigated in this study under laminar natural convection. A new experimental apparatus is built, and a numerical model is developed to simulate the flow and heat tran... • Solid sorbents for in-situ CO2 removal during sorption-enhanced steam reformi...   　　Integrating in-situ CO2 removal at high temperature by solid sorbents during sorption-enhanced steam reforming process for high-purity hydrogen production has been considered to change the normal equili- brium limits of shift reactions and increase hydrocarbon conversion as well as reduce CO2 emissions. How- ev... • Modelling study, efficiency analysis and optimisation of large-scale Adiabati...   　　The key feature of Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) is the reuse of the heat generated from the air compression process at the stage of air expansion. This increases the complexity of the whole system since the heat exchange and thermal storage units must have the capacities and performance to m... • A two-dimensional analytical model for prediction of the radiation heat trans...   　　In this article, a new two-dimensional (2D) explicit analytical model for the evaluation of the radiation heat transfer in highly porous open-cell metal foams is formulated and validated. A correction factor, C, is introduced to correct the deviation of the specific area in a simplified manner. Numerical result... • 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 ... • 3D CFD simulations of acetone hydrogenation in randomly packed beds for an is...   　　Isopropanol–acetone–hydrogen chemical heat pump (IAH-CHP) is a system having the ability to improve energy-grade and to achieve energy storage simultaneously. Acetone hydrogenation is an important part of IAH-CHP and directly affects the performance of IAH-CHP. In this work, the fully three-dimensional simula...   13 Page(s)   12345NextFinal
