Conceptual Design of a Circulating Fluidized Bed Reactor as a Thermochemical Thermal Energy Storage System for Applications in Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Plants
The use of fossil fuels as an energy resource results in both the introduction of longline infrared-active gases into the atmosphere, and in the depletion of a finite energy resource. Neither of these results make the fossil energy option desirable in the long term. Clean renewable energy sources provide one means of avoiding ...
Characterization and Modeling of the leading edge erosion of Wind Turbine Blades due to Sand Particles Impingement
Harsh environments such as desert and arid environments are showing promising potential for energy production from wind turbine blades. However, when wind turbines are erected in such environments, unavoidable damage due to sand particle impingement during sandstorms, especially on the blade's leading edge, is expected. The ...
