Copper battery for heat to power conversion and energy storage

Sunny Isaïe Maye

An important part of the electricity production relies on heat conversion. Indeed power plants burn fuels like natural gas, coal or use nuclear fission to produce heat that can be transformed into electricity through a thermodynamic cycle and the mechanica ...

Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO with NH3 on Cu-SSZ-13: Deciphering the Low and High-temperature Rate-limiting Steps by Transient XAS Experiments

Oliver Kröcher, Adrian Marberger, Davide Ferri, Patrick Simon Steiger, Rob Jeremiah G. Nuguid

Cu-exchanged small-pore SSZ-13 catalysts have found wide use for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides from automotive exhaust gases. The transient working environment of the Cu-SSZ-13 catalyst during NH3-SCR requires studying the rate ...

Scale limitations of gas bearing supported turbocompressors for vapor compression cycles

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann

An analysis of single-stage centrifugal compressors supported on dynamic, gas lubricated bearings for driving vapor compression cycles suggests that the maximum feasible compressor power is limited, primarily by the bearing load capacity, in the range from ...

The Role of Reynolds Number Effect and Tip Leakage in Compressor Geometry Scaling at Low Turbulent Reynolds Numbers

Jürg Alexander Schiffmann, Markus Diehl, Christoph Schreiber

In compressor design, a convenient way to save time is to scale an existing geometry to required specifications, rather than developing a new design. The approach works well when scaling compressors of similar size at high Reynolds numbers but becomes more ...

Real-time optimization of load sharing for gas compressors in the presence of uncertainty

Dominique Bonvin, Alejandro Gabriel Marchetti, Timm Faulwasser, Predrag Milosavljevic

This paper investigates the problem of load-sharing optimization of gas compressors in the presence of uncertainty. The objective is to operate a set of compressor units in an energy-efficient way, while at the same time meeting a varying load demand. The ...
