Increasing demand of electricity and severer concerns to environment call for green energy
sources as well as efficient energy conversion systems. SCO2 power cycles integrated with …

The next generation of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants are expected to operate at
higher temperatures than those currently in use, for improved efficiency and reduced cost of …

Of the mechanisms to improve efficiency for solar-thermal power plants, one of the most
effective ways to improve overall efficiency is through power cycle improvements. As …

This work discusses a preliminary thermodynamic assessment of three different supercritical
CO 2 (sCO 2) power cycles applied to a high temperature solar tower system, with maximum …

Abstract In the European Industry, 275 TWh of thermal energy is rejected into the
environment at temperatures beyond 300° C. To recover some of this wasted energy …

Corrosion and carburization behavior of chromia-forming heat resistant alloys in high-
temperature supercritical-CO 2 were investigated. For all alloys, a thin and continuous …

The effect of stress on the corrosion behavior and mechanical properties of T91 tube
exposed to high-temperature supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO 2) was investigated. Both …

Parabolic trough solar collectors (PTSCs) are proven technologies and are used in various
fields including concentrating solar power, integrated solar combined cycle, industrial …

A numerical analysis of the developing laminar flow and conjugate heat transfer in a
rectangular micro-channel was performed for supercritical CO 2 and liquid sodium as …

Sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) is the preferred technology of the generation-IV fast
neutron reactor, and its core body mainly uses nuclear-grade 316 stainless steel. In order to …
