Thermal conversion efficiency of an ideal thermoelastic marmem cycle

Thermal power plant efficiency enhancement with Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

In addition to greenhouse gas emissions, coastal thermal power plants would gain further opposition due to their heat rejection distressing the local ecosystem. Therefore, these plants need to enhance their thermal efficiency while reducing their environmental offense. In this study, a hybrid plant based on the principle of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion was coupled to a 740 MW coal-fired powe...

Thermal Conversion Efficiency for Heavy-ion Beam Heated Cylinders

On the Dynamic Characteristic of Thermoelastic Waves in Thermoelastic Plates with Thermal Relaxation Times

In this paper, analysis for the propagation of general anisotropic media of finite thickness with two thermal relaxation times is studied. Expression of displacements, temperature, thermal stresses, and thermal gradient for most general anisotropic thermoelastic plates of finite thickness are obtained in the analysis. The calculation is then carried forward for slightly more specialized case of...

Cross-efficiency evaluation by the use of ideal and anti-ideal virtual DMUs’ assessment in DEA

To rank Decision Making Units (DMU) in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), the peer-evaluation based cross-efficiency method is generally used. Indeed, in this method, each DMU is evaluated from the view point of other DMUs. In this article, a method is suggested which instead examines each DMU just by using the weights resulting from the evaluation of ideal and anti-ideal virtual DMUs and thus ex...
