Gas hydrates are considered as a potential strategic energy source for sustainable development. The thermal properties of hydrate-bearing sediments govern the hydrate dissociation behavior and gas production process that accompany phase transformation and multiphase flow. This paper presents a...

In order to reduce the cost of thermal energy recovery, a packed bed closed loop thermal energy storage system has been proposed and is investigated. The main components of the system include a closed air cycle, a heat exchanger, and a packed bed storage column. This paper is aimed at analyzing...
