Laboratory and field experiments were carried out along with numerical simulations in this paper to study the effects of porous media on thermal and salt diffusion of the solar ponds. From our laboratory experiments simulating heat transfer inside a solar pond, it is shown that the addition of...

A 30t/d low-temperature multi-effect evaporation seawater desalination (LT-MED) system was designed based on the mathematical model, and the corresponding pilot device was constructed in Tianjin, China. Whole-process tests were carried out, and the effects of key operating parameters, including...

The inability to control the auto ignition in CAI combustion is an obstacle against its practical use, and the in-cylinder thermal and component distributions are being investigated in more depth as a way to control auto ignition. A 3D simulation using KIVA code is applied to study the effects...
