The assessment of the thermal energy efficiency of an EfW plant is critical as this determines whether the facility passes as an energy generation or disposal facility impacting on whether the facility pays waste levy or not. The adoption of the R 1 formula 'as is' disadvantages smaller-sized ...
Qm is metabolic heat generation, the rate of energy deposition per unit volume, and is usually assumed to be homogeneously distributed throughout the tissue of interest. The metabolic heat generated in the body is dissipated to the environment through the skin and the lungs by convection and ...
which is the Vogel-Fulcher equation,Eq. (13). (Actually this Δμ’, rather than Δμ, is the actualactivation energy3.3kcal. The latter is greater than this value because it includes thecohesive energyfrom the neighbors). The free volume is usually considered to be Van der Waal’s excess...
Thermal energy storage is a good choice for large-scale and low-cost applications [12,17]. For instance, Carnot batteries have the advantages in terms of simultaneous co-generation of thermal energy and power on the demand side as well as a very extensive temperature range of possible applicati...
The influence of greenhouse warming on mesoscale air-sea interactions, crucial for modulating ocean circulation and climate variability, remains largely unexplored due to the limited resolution of current climate models. Additionally, there is a lack of

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a technology which utilizes the temperature difference between warm surface water and cold deep water. To be deployed in a viable and effective way, the temperature gradient between surface and subsurface should be more than 20 °C [1]. With the surface...
The method of using the formula to guide the ratio of low eutectic phase change thermal storage material is discussed,and a method is presented to improve thermal conductivity of organic phase change materials. The application of phase change materials in the fields of solar energy utilization,...
2 Thermal energy storage (TES) Thermal energy storage (TES) is widely recognized as a means to integrate renewable energies into the electricity production mix on the generation side, but its applicability to the demand side is also possible [20,21]. In recent decades, TES systems have demonst...
The energy momentum for a particle k is: (20)Rk=∑lrl∫0lFlvldt Instead of using the Green–Kubo formula [8] to compute the thermal conductivity k by integrating the time autocorrelation of the heat current J, this quantity can be computed using an equivalent Einstein relationship for the ...
