... heat transfer coefficient does not affect the pond stability because, for all practical purposes, the critical salt diffusion rate predicted by it is always larger than the actual critical value required for ensuring stable pond operation. However, as expected, the rate of exergy destruction caused...

... media promises enhanced stability to solar transients and faster reaction rates. The present study establishes and compares the reaction kinetics of pyrolysis and gasification of cellulose from 1124 K to 1235 K in an electric furnace. Data are presented in an inert environment and in a bath of a ternary...

...R. A. Enzenroth; K. L. Barth; W. S. Sampath; V. Manivannan In-line manufactured CdTe thin film photovoltaic devices were evaluated for their performance with respect to power conversion efficiency and reliability (stability). A National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) certified power conversion...

M. van Roosmalen In this paper, both the performance and stability of luminescent flat plate concentrator (LFPC) plates in combination with mc-Si photovoltaic cells are studied. It is shown that the electrical...

...Jonathon Sumner; Christian Masson The impact of atmospheric stability on vertical wind profiles is reviewed and the implications for power performance testing and site evaluation are investigated. Velocity, temperature, and turbulence intensity profiles are generated using the model presented...
