Thermochemical energy storage can play an important role in the establishment of a reliable renewable energy supply and can increase the efficiency of industrial processes. The application of directly permeated reactive beds leads to strongly coupled mass and heat transport processes that also...

Thermochemical reactions can be employed in heat storage devices. The choice of suitable reactive material pairs involves a thorough kinetic characterisation by, e.g., extensive thermogravimetric measurements. Before testing a material on a reactor level, simulations with models based on the...

The present study reports a numerical investigation of water and CO2 (carbon dioxide) flooding at the pore scale of a porous medium. We use high resolution micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) images of Berea sandstone core to obtain the pore geometry. The numerical solution used for the...

Eutectic molten salt can be used as the latent thermal energy storage (LTES) medium in solar energy applications. In the present study, eutectic salt (50wt% NaNO3, 50wt% KNO3) with a melting temperature of about 220°C was employed as the PCM for the middle-temperature solar energy application,...

A lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) based computational REV model of geochemical reaction is proposed to describe the geochemical reactions of both solute ions transport and solid phase CaCO3 dissolution in CO2-saturated water as well as their effects on the velocity fields of fluid flows during a...

A non-traditional operator split (OS) scheme for the solution of the advection-diffusion-reaction (ADR) equation is proposed. The scheme is implemented with the recently published central scheme [A. Kurganov, E. Tadmor, New high-resolution central schemes for non-linear conservation laws and...

The temporal truncation error (TTE) associated with a noniterative operator split (OS) method for application to a system of m coupled transport partial differential equations (pdes) is analysed. The system incorporates arbitrary n-dimensional linear transport and arbitrary nonequilibrium...

The present article constitutes an experimental investigation of the behavior of buried PVC pipes. A number of laboratory experiments were conducted using PVC pipes which were buried in a medium sand layer, below a subbase layer, reinforced with geocells. They were subject to repeated dynamic...

Stochastic di®erential equations (SDEs) are　central to much of modern finance theory and have been widely used to model the behaviour of key variables such as the　instantaneous short-term interest rate, asset prices, asset returns and their volatility.　The explanatory and/or predictive...
