Correlations for calculating diffuse solar radiation can be classified into models with global solar radiation (H-based method) and without it (Non-H method). The objective of the present study is to compare the performance of H-based and Non-H methods for calculating the diffuse solar radiation...

Cryogenic generation is one of the most important ways to utilize cold energy during LNG (liquefied natural gas) regasification. This paper fundamentally investigates LNG cryogenic generation with the Stirling cycle method based on previous studies. A basic process of LNG cryogenic generation...

There are many solar constant values given and adopted by researchers, leading to confusion in estimating solar radiation. In this study, some solar constant values collected from literature for estimating solar radiation with the Ångström–Prescott correlation are tested in China using the...

In the present study, the photon absorption in a suspended photocatalytic reactor was simulated by adopting Monte Carlo method and the six-flux radiation absorption-scattering model. Different photocatalyst concentrations, i.e. uniform concentrations, linearly increasing concentration gradients...

To explain the time dependence of cell voltage in CWS (coal water slurry) electrolysis, the effects of three coal types along with graphite, CWS concentration and catalysts on cell voltage are examined. Results show that the overall cell voltage for CWS electrolysis is lowered as coal rank...
