Sensible or hybrid sensible-latent thermal energy storage systems are becoming mature
systems and are the most common choice in high temperature applications. Among the …

Thermal energy is one of the most widely encountered energy forms in our daily life. To
ensure efficient utilization and conversion of this energy, the balance between supply and …

A novel structure design of porous media-assisted thermal performance enhancement of a
flat-plate solar collector (FPSC) is proposed in this study. The thermal performance of FPSC …

This manuscript discusses developing a model-based scale-up methodology for a
successful technology transfer of gas-phase catalytic reactors from a lab-scale to a pilot …

This study discusses model-based optimization strategies for CO 2 hydrogenation to
dimethyl ether (DME) over a CuZnZr (CZZ) and ferrite (FER) mixed catalyst system in a …

In recent years, binary-packed beds have drawn attention due to their higher packing
density and greater heat extraction capacity than mono-sized packed beds. In the past, the …

Compared to single layer porous media, fluid flow through layered porous media (LPMs)
with contrasting pore space structures is more complex. This study constructed three …

Advance forecast of water inrush can help ensure operational safety in underground
engineering. In this study, a coupled thermal–hydraulic-mechanical (THM) model is …

Particle-resolved computational fluid dynamics simulations of flow and pressure drop in
fixed beds of spheres give poor accuracy at higher Reynolds number (Re) under turbulent …

The Atkinson equation along with its friction factor is commonly used to estimate pressure
requirement in mine ventilation. However, friction factor correlation of flow through broken …
