The increasing adoption of intermittent power from renewable sources necessitates
enhanced flexibility from conventional power plants. This is essential to accommodate the …

Above a Leidenfrost temperature of about 150° C for water, a continuous vapor film forms
that curtails nucleate boiling and decreases heat flux by two orders of magnitude. Here, we …

This work illustrates the design of a standalone solar power system used to power a milk
chiller with 200 W DC compressors using the PVsyst software for different climatic zones in …

Cold thermal energy storage is an active method for reducing the peak electrical demand
and electricity consumption of air conditioners. This paper investigates two different cases …

Application of ice cold energy storage (ICES) is for reducing power consumption in air-
conditioning systems. ICES systems have two full and partial operating modes. Partial …

Phase-change heat transfer involves the exchange of thermal energy when a substance
transitions between different phases, such as solid to liquid (melting), liquid to vapor …

The objective of this thesis is to simulate the construction of thermal energy storage systems
for nuclear power plants in the ERCOT grid. Steam accumulators were selected as the …

Building information modeling (BIM) is at the center of the building life cycle across design to
operation. BIM helps realize the conceptual design from parametric modeling, and provides …
