Influence of pentanol and dimethyl ether blending with diesel on the combustion performance and emission characteristics in a compression ignition engine under low temperature combustion mode
(2019-01-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDimethyl ether (DME) and n-pentanol can be derived from non-food based biomass feedstock without unsettling food supplies and thus attract increasing attention as promising alternative fuels, yet some of their unique fuel ... -
Analysis of the sensible and total ventilation energy recovery potential in different climate conditions. Application to the Spanish case
(2019-02-25)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyEnergy recovery elements play a major role in the efficiency and sustainability of building ventilation systems. The use of a sensible or total energy recovery ventilator is a key decision for ventilation systems designers. ... -

Open AccessA nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) for the thermal management (TM) of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) is presented. TM in PHEVs is crucial to ensure good components performance and durability in all ... -
Conceptual design of the EU-DEMO dual coolant lithium lead equatorial module
(2016-09-01)
Article
Open AccessWithin the framework of EUROfusion Program, the Dual Coolant Lithium Lead (DCLL) is one of the four EU breeder blanket concepts that are being investigated as candidates for DEMO. DCLL uses PbLi as the main coolant, tritium ... -
MHD issues related to the use of Lithium Lead eutectic as breeder material for blankets of fusion power plants
(2015-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe European Community is committed to the development of a DEMOnstration fusion power plant whose operation could start as soon as 2050. The blanket is one of the most critical components in a fusion reactor; three of the ... -
Modelling of storage tanks with immersed heat exchangers
(2015-02-01)
Article
Open AccessA model of a storage tank with an immersed serpentine heat exchanger is described and validated against experimental data available from the literature. The tank is modelled one dimensionally using the multi-node approach ... -
An approach to verification and validation of MHD codes for fusion applications
(2015-11)
Article
Open AccessWe propose a new activity on verification and validation (V&V) of MHD codes presently employed by the fusion community as a predictive capability tool for liquid metal cooling applications, such as liquid metal blankets. ... -
Mathematical models for tritium permeation analysis in liquid metal flows with helium bubbles
(2014-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn LIBRETTO-2 test, evidence was obtained that helium bubbles nucleated and grew in the neutron irradiated PbLi probes. If such phenomenon occurs inside liquid metal (LM) breeding blanket channels, the study of its effect ... -
Detailed modelling of flat plate solar thermal collectors with honeycomb-like transparent insulation
(2014-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA detailed numerical model for flat-plate solar thermal collectors based on one-dimensional finite volume techniques was recently presented, see Cadafalch (2009). The model considers a solar thermal device as a pile of ... -
Modelling of a supercritical CO2 power cycle for nuclear fusion reactors using RELAP5-3D
(2014-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA supercritical recompression CO2 power cycle has been simulated using the system code RELAP5-3D. This code is being developed by INL and has traditionally been used in the simulation of operational and accidental transients ...
