The present paper aims to propose an original steam generation system, which resulted suitable for the application to the secondary loops of lead-cooled fast reactors: reaction heat is extracted from the lead by means of a coolant under vapor phase, thanks to both an external feed-water boiling...

A vehicular powertrain can be thought as an energy conversion chain, each component being characterized by its efficiency. Significant global efficiency improvements can be achieved once is identified the system energy breakdown, individuating the losses connected to each powertrain component;...

Combined Heat and Power based District Heating Networks (CHP/DHN) systems represent nowadays one of the most efficient technologies, as an alternative to standard space heating solutions, leading to lower GHG emission in atmosphere. Dynamic modelling of district heating networks is of...
