The development of a combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) system in China is presented in this paper. The key scientific problems of a distributed energy system and the integration principles of a CCHP system are also pointed out. Moreover, two corresponding CCHP systems: one with the...

This paper investigates the interaction between the heat transfer performance and the thermal efficiency of a molten salt receiver used in the solar power tower plant. A test-bed is built, and a series of experiments of heat transfer enhancement for two types of molten salt receiver tubes,...

A new ammonia-water power cycle (AWPC) basing on Kalina cycle is presented in this paper, which supply an effective way for low-moderate temperature geothermal power in China. The thermodynamic models of AWPC are established considering of the ratio of power generation as the optimization...

This paper briefly introduces the characteristics of Distributed Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP) System, and indicates that the off-design conditions are the root cause of the performance reduction of system. An active regulation method based on system performance improvement is...

Although condensation plays an important role in photovoltaic (PV) soiling, the mechanism of interaction among condensate, dust particle and surface are not effectively disclosed. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of dust/condensate during condensation & evaporation is presented. Further,...

Carbon deposition is a thorny issue for the SOFC fueled by low carbon hydrocarbons such as biomass syngas. Moreover, long-term large temperature gradients would reduce SOFC durability. Regarding these two issues, a two dimensional transient multi-physical model considering carbon deposition and...

Membranes were used in combination to liquid desiccant air dehumidification to separate the liquid desiccant from the process air to prevent the problems of liquid droplets crossover. In this review, the developments in this relatively new technology were introduced. The membrane materials used...
