Jet Streams as Power Generating Electrical Energy in Libya

Power and energy as systemic properties - Part I: Electrical circuits

We examine some aspects of the nature of physical energy and power for electrical circuits. The question raised is how energy is transferred from the environment to a circuit, or between circuits. Does this transfer occur terminal by terminal, or does it happen along a set of terminals? In other words, is the transfer of energy a ‘local’ or a ‘global’ phenomenon? The main conclusion drawn from ...

Jet stream wind power as a renewable energy resource: little power, big impacts

Jet streams are regions of sustained high wind speeds in the upper atmosphere and are seen by some as a substantial renewable energy resource. However, jet streams are nearly geostrophic flow, that is, they result from the balance between the pressure gradient and Coriolis force in the near absence of friction. Therefore, jet stream motion is associated with very small generation rates of kinet...

Improving Cyclone Efficiency by Recycle and Jet Impingement Streams

In this paper a new process is presented for improving efficiency of cyclone de-dusting systems. The cyclone is coupled with a specially designed cylindrical chamber which includes a rotating tube inside it with air impinging nuzzles, drilled on the peripheral surface of the tube. The nuzzles help in pushing and throwing the particles to the outer radius distances during downward flow of du...

Energy Efficiency and Electrical Power Generation

Energy recycling for electrical AC power source burn-in test

This letter presents a feasible method for electrical ac power source burn-in test. The proposed architecture consists of two power stages. It consumes a lesser amount of energy than the conventional method and provides extra flexibility for the test load. To implement the proposed idea, a simple control strategy and system design is presented in this letter. A case study for an adjustable-spee...
