Compared to the organic Rankine cycle (ORC), triangle (TC) is simpler in structure and not limited by pinch point temperature differences. TC has been studied some extent previous researchers, such as selection of working fluid, application, design expander. However, system optimization parameter analysis are still rare. The thermodynamic performance internal circulation heat recovery systems i...

A four-chord interferometer and measurements from an array of surface-mounted magnetic probes were used in conjunction with equations of radial heat conduction and radial force balance to calculate the equilibrium evolution of a pinch plasma in the ZaP flow Z-pinch. A multiple shooting method was used to solve the nonlinear coupled differential equation system, with ohmic heating and bremsstrah...

Electron temperature fluctuations are correlated with the dominant (m, n) = (0, 1) edge-resonant magnetic tearing mode during sawtooth events in the Madison Symmetric Torus reversed-field pinch. Electron temperature fluctuations in phase with the (0, 1) tearing mode are measured using highrepetition-rate Thomson scattering. Immediately prior to the sawtooth the (0, 1) island structure appears t...

New developments in Faraday rotation polarimetry have provided the first measurements of current density profile and core magnetic fluctuations in the core of a high-temperature reversed field pinch. This has been achieved by a fast-polarimeter system with time response up to 1 ms and phase resolution ,1 mrad. Recent experiments on Madison Symmetric Torus have directly measured radial magnetic ...

This paper introduces a methodology for the heat integration of industrial batch processes. Based on Pinch Analysis principles, this methodology resorts to intermediate heat storage to prevent adverse effects on the operating flexibility. A systematic procedure, backed with a graphical representation, allows the determination of the minimum number of heat storage units and their range of feasib...

Integrated Process Design aims at a holistic approach to process design, retrofitting, and operations planning. Cost and energy ‘‘targets’’ (i.e. the minimum possible values for these objectives) can be calculated based on pinch technology, which defines the enthalpy at which the hot and cold process streams are separated by the minimum temperature difference in heat exchanger networks. This ap...

PINCH-1 is a LIM-only domain protein that forms a ternary complex with integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and parvin (to form the IPP complex) downstream of integrins. Here, we demonstrate that PINCH-1 (also known as Lims1) gene ablation in the epidermis of mice caused epidermal detachment from the basement membrane, epidermal hyperthickening and progressive hair loss. PINCH-1-deficient keratinocytes...

In this research, analysis of a cogeneration system harnessing solar energy with the purpose producing electricity and freshwater is carried out. A parabolic trough collector (PTC), reverse osmosis (RO) desalination steam Rankine cycle are considered as primary modules system. Optimization conducted on basis Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), while Engineering Equation Solver...

The evolution of edge pedestal parameters between edge-localized modes (ELMs) is analyzed for an H-mode DIII-D [J Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42, 612 (2002)] discharge. Experimental data are averaged over the same sub-intervals between successive ELMs to develop data that characterize the evolution of density, temperature, rotation velocities, etc. over the interval between ELMs. These data are interpr...
