A new study presented in the Sustainability journal explores the possibility of repowering a natural-gas fired power plant by integrating Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells (MCFC).
Abstract The selection of artificial cylinder boundary is of vital importance in the simulation of multiple-tube thermal energy storage (TES). This paper is intended to design and compare the accuracy of the concentric and eccentric artificial cylinder boundary, which is used to simplify the geometry of multiple tubes thermal energy storage system in the numerical computation. The eccentric artificial cylinder boundary shows the higher accuracy due to fully considering the development of buoyancy-driven convection. Based on the single tube TES with eccentric artificial cylinder boundary, the ...
