Overall Reaction Rate Study of Thermal Methane Cracking in Non-Isothermal ConditionsAbstract The thermal cracking of methane (TMC) is a significant reaction occurring above 850°C, which proceeds in two stages: non-isothermally and isothermally. However, most existing studies have focused on obtaining reaction rates under isothermal conditions [1], limiting their applicability to practical i [...] 558 4080 |
Exploring the Potential of Phase Change Material for Thermal Energy Storage in Building EnvelopesAbstract Buildings, with their significant energy consumption, pose a pressing concern for the future. Inadequate heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems further exacerbate thermal management difficulties and energy requirements. To address these challenges, Phase Change Materials (PCMs) of [...] 552 5122 |
Volt-Var Control for Utility-Scale Solar PV Plants to Downsize SVCs and Curtailment EffectsAbstract One way to increase solar photovoltaic penetration in the grid is the management of voltage fluctuations. This is because a photovoltaic plant cannot be interconnected to the grid if it causes voltage violations. Voltage violation is where voltage exceeds the acceptable range. Often, grid operators [...] 436 4421 |
Study and Characterization of a Spherical Solar Collector. Part II: Comparative Analysis with Flat-Plate DevicesAbstract The paper analyses the performance of a spherical solar collector compared to the efficiency of a flat-plate solar collector, which is the type of solar collector that does not use a tracking system in collecting solar radiation for energy conversion. Spherical solar collector benefits from a consta [...] 442 4377 |
Improving the Performance of Solar Thermal Energy Storage SystemsAbstract In recent times, renewable energy resources have been greatly researched because of the increasing concern to minimize global warming and meet energy demands. Energy storage systems have become useful tools for sustainability and meeting energy needs. Solar energy has proven in recent times to be th [...] 721 6429 |
Permeability, Compressibility and Pressure Prediction in Supercharged Wireline and FTWD EnvironmentsAbstract In conventional wireline and LWD/MWD formation testing, downhole predictions for rock and fluid properties are based on simplified Darcy flow models, but only for mathematical expediency. These require initially constant pressures that are uniform throughout the reservoir. This limitatio [...] 557 4252 |
Study and Characterization of a Spherical Solar Collector. I. Efficiency and Thermal Losses CoefficientAbstract This paper studies and characterizes a solar collector with spherical geometry to produce hot water for sanitary and domestic applications and other facilities. The new geometry enlarges the solar collector surface and allows full sun tracking during the day without needing a solar tracking system. [...] 536 4221 |
