Explosive boiling of water films based on molecular dynamics simulations: Effects of film thickness and substrate temperature
(Elsevier, 2023)
This paper deals with investigations of mechanisms governing explosive boiling of water films on hot copper substrate with plain surface. The investigations are based on results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations in ...
Integration of solar energy by nature-inspired optimization in the context of circular economy
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2021)
The purpose of this paper is to make a research on solar power plants integration in an electric power system, taking into account all costs arising from circular economy criteria. Four scenarios of solar power plant ...
Efficiency and power upgrade at the aged lignite-fired power plant by flue gas waste heat utilization: High pressure versus low pressure economizer installation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
A substantial potential exists for the recovery of flue gas waste heat at aged coal-fired power plants. High and low pressure economizers (HPE, LPE) can be applied for this purpose. Two cases of the feedwater supply to the ...
Possibilities for wider investment in solar energy implementation
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2019)
Installing of new solar capacities for electricity production has slowed down worldwide. To explore this trend, to assess opportunities for implementing solar potential, and to determine whether wider investment in solar ...
Upgrade of the thermal power plant flexibility by the steam accumulator
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Thermal power plants are forced to operate under frequent load changes in energy systems with increased share of solar and wind power plants. These load changes increase thermal power plant aging and reduce their efficiency. ...
Thermomechanical behavior of bio-fiber composite thermal insulation panels
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
The thermomechanical properties of the bio-fiber composite, as material for the production of thermal insulation panels, were evaluated. The observed mixtures were composed of Miscanthus x giganteus bio-fibers, mineral ...
Sustainable sub-geothermal heat pump heating in Serbia
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
Considering the necessity of improvement of Serbian energy production structure through higher participation of clean and renewable energy sources, the possibility of utilization of low enthalpy geothermal waters have been ...
Groundwater heat pump selection for high temperature heating retrofit
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2012)
Retrofitting of fossil fuel powered hot water radiator heating systems of the existing buildings by groundwater heat pumps can provide significant energy savings followed by economic and environmental benefits. The paper ...
A review of bottom-up building stock models for energy consumption in the residential sector
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2010)
Efficient and rational implementation of building stock CO(2) emission reduction strategies and policies requires the application of comprehensive building stock models that have the ability to: (a) estimate the baseline ...
Influence of forward scattering on prediction of temperature and radiation fields inside the pulverized coal furnace
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2012)
A possibility of simplification of the scattering phase function of a pulverized coal flame was analyzed in the paper. It was showed that the type of radiation scattering of a pulverized coal flame is between two limiting ...
