As a part of the change towards higher usage renewable energy sources, which naturally deliver intermittently, need for storage systems is increasing. For compensation disturbance in power production due to inter-day seasonal weather changes, long-term required. In spectrum systems, one out few geographically independent possibilities use heat store electricity, so-called Carnot-batteries. This...

Single hair follicles go through regeneration and involution cycles. In a population, hair follicles may affect each other during anagen re-entry, thus forming propagating regenerative hair waves. We review these regenerative hair waves and complex hair cycle domains, which were recently reported in transgenic mice. Two non-invasive methods to track the propagating hair wave in large population...

As an essential component of the SCO2 recompression Brayton cycle, recuperator has a significant impact on efficiency and stability entire cycle system. The printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) is most suitable for in cycle. To investigate effects structural parameters asymmetric airfoil fins thermo-hydraulic performance PCHEs, simplified three-dimensional numerical simulation models PCHE with...

A novel liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueled power plant is proposed, which has virtually zero CO2 and other emissions and a high efficiency. Natural gas is fired in highly enriched oxygen and recycled CO2 flue gas. The plant operates in a quasi-combined cycle mode with a supercritical CO2 Rankine-like cycle and a CO2 Brayton cycle, interconnected by the heat transfer process in the recuperation ...

Thermally regenerative electrochemical cycle offers a way to extract usable energy from waste heat.

Self-cooled liquid metal breeder blankets have a high potential to meet the overall goal of fusion research to develop an economically and environmentally attractive energy source. They offer the possibility to design mechanically simple blanket segments, employ a high-temperature, low-pressure coolant, allow for a high power density, and as consequences of these, achieve high efficiency and av...
