In this paper we show that the thermodynamic performance of a gas turbine power plant can
be optimized by adjusting the flow rate and the distribution of pressure losses along the flow …

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) harvests the power from the thermal energy in the
ocean, which is reserved in the ocean as the temperature difference between warm surface …
