Geothermal energy storage provides opportunities to store renewable energy underground during summer for utilization in winter. Vertically oriented systems have been the standard when employing boreholes as the means to charge and discharge the under...

This paper is a literature survey that focuses on the present development of thermokinetic publications. It demonstrates that in recent years pyrolysis kinetics has turned into a major application of the thermokinetics. Analysis of the respective pub...

Seasonal oscillations in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in the Earth’s atmosphere, stronger in northern latitudes, are assumed to show that terrestrial photosynthesis exceeds respiration in summer, reducing the pCO2 in air but increasi...

Corrected excess Gibbs energies of the liquid solutions in the ACl-ThCl4 (A = Li, Na, K), as well as revised standard enthalpies of formation and standard entropies of the intermediate phases occurring in the binary systems, are presented [...]

Attention to photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert solar irradiation into electricity is significantly growing for domestic usage and large-scale projects such as solar farms. However, PV efficiency decreases on hot days. This paper proposes an effectiv...

Lead–Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) is a heavy metal liquid alloy used as a coolant for compact high temperature reactors (CHTRs), fast breeder reactor (FBRs) and as a spallation target for ADS. In spite of many advantages due to its thermophysical propertie...

The potential regarding the indicated efficiency of an alternative piston trajectory for a spark ignited methane combustion engine has been investigated in this study. A physics-based cylinder model including a predictive combustion model was used to...

Foresight of geothermal energy installation is valuable for energy decision-makers, allowing them to readily identify new capacity units, improve existing energy policies and plans, expand future infrastructure, and fulfill consumer load needs. There...
