Performance investigation of a prototype of solar updraft tower (SUT) power plant is carried
out in this study. The diameters of the solar collector and chimney are of the 3.5 and 0.6 m …

Turbine is one of the key components of ocean thermal energy conversion system, and its
aerodynamic performance and geometric structure directly affect the performance of the …

Heat transfer problem is explored for a new-designed low power generator. A self-cooling
mechanism of the generator is designed and implemented for the forced convection via a …

In this study, low temperature Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems with single and two-
stage turbine are proposed for the production of electricity. The refrigerant R-134a is …

The choice of principal dimensions of turbine rotor for a given set of inlet design specification
can be found by solving aerodynamic equations. An analytical method is indeed difficult and …

Optimisation is a fundamental step in the turbine design process, especially in the
development of non-classical designs of radial-inflow turbines working with high-density …

In the first part of the research, pumps running in reverse as turbines are studied. This work
uses experimental data of wide range of pumps representing the centrifugal pumps' …

The main goal of the present investigation is a contribution to the design of the rotor which is
among the main turbine elements that require more attention in preliminary conceptual …

Power production and refrigeration are two problems of human communities which
contribute in environmental degradation. Clean power can be produced by means of solar …
