The rise in distributed renewable energy generation creates a growing need to find viable solutions for storage match demand and supply at any time. This paper evaluates the possibility of using swimming pools as long-term cooling solution, i.e., Swimming Pool Thermal Energy Storage (SPTES). technology allows small building store solar purposes yearly cycle, by filling pool with ice slurry winter that cool house summertime. Additionally, can be used heat sink pump during winter. Results show...
In radiation process, a variety of models can be used to represent the spectral radiative properties combustion gases. coal combustion, high level soot concentration brings higher complexity formulation. Several pieces research are found, comparing different usually applied idealized laboratory situations. Only few works explore behavior such in real scale applications, as coal-fired furnaces. Comparisons among arrangements SGG and WSGG were carried out by means CFD simulations, boiler 160...
This article introduces a modular simulation platform for assessing thermal energy storage (TES) integrated with air source heat pumps (ASHP). The Python is an open-source library that includes classes modeling air-air and air-water pumps, TES devices, the heating load of residential buildings. To validate ASHP model, study utilized experimental data obtained from commercial pump evaluated at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). results indicate mean deviation 0.7% COP across...
Tesla turbines can be employed as small-scale to recover waste energy in several industrial applications. However, there is no consensus on the turbine efficiency experimental studies show significantly lower values than those obtained by analytical and CFD approaches. The present work addresses that question performing a systematic literature review (SLR) turbines, comparing reported simulation works. To validate SLR findings an air driven was built. Design of Experiments (DoE) methodology...
