We explore the impacts of high-speed rail (HSR) developments on airport-level traffic by considering not only the availability of air-HSR intermodal linkage between the airport and HSR station but also the position of the airport's city in the HSR network. The latter is measured by both the...

Thermochemical energy storage is a promising approach in thermal energy storage because of its advantages in high heat storage density, low heat loss and long period stability. The hydrated salt is a commonly used material in low temperature heat storage. In this study, the preparation of MgCl2...

In this study, a triangular honeycomb reactor using zeolite 13X-H 2 O working pairs is developed to investigate the reactor thermal performance. Also, a three-dimensional transient heat and mass transfer model has been used to predict the adsorption and desorption processes occurring in the open...

The thermal performance of a PCM based solar chimney is experimentally investigated in this paper. The research is carried out within a laboratory condition with three different heat fluxes of 500W/m2, 600W/m2 and 700W/m2. The results show that for a same charge period of 7h 10min though the PCM...
