Fusina is a particular area of Porto Marghera, Venice mainland industrial area, different from any other areas inside the industrial compound. It's situated in the southern border, the most close to the Veneto coun- tryside. This area was one of the last t ...
Thermoeconomics is a discipline that connects Thermodynamics and Economics concepts, usually used for rational cost assessment partition to the final products of a thermal plant, by means of a model that describes the cost formation process of the overall ...
The merits of superstructure-free synthesis are demonstrated for bi-objective design of thermal power plants. The design of thermal power plants is complex and thus best solved by optimization. Common optimization methods require specification of a superst ...
Layered ceramic systems with designed stacks of dense and porous layers were investigated as alternative for thermal barrier protection system (TBPs). This approach gives the possibility to obtain low thermal conductivity with the impact protection of dens ...
A thermal-hydraulic model has been developed for the novel cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) recently proposed by ENEA, which foresees the use of 2nd Generation REBCO-based Coated Conductor tapes stacked into twisted grooves slotted into an Al core. A cent ...
Energy piles are rapidly gaining acceptance around the world because they represent a renewable and clean source of energy that can be used for the heating and cooling of buildings, and the de-icing of infrastructures. This technology couples the structura ...
The emission of selenium from coal gasification processes can cause harm to the environment and downstream equipment. With upcoming legislation, reliable detection as well as control of such gas species become crucial. This study therefore addresses the de ...
The correct coordination of the electrical protections of a synchronous generators is a difficult task, especially those based on impedance. Usually, these protections are set according to the recommendations of the main standards and manufacturer guides. ...
The performance of energy systems usually degrades gradually away from the best operation conditions during continuous operation. Since the components in an energy system are interconnected with each other, the performance degradation or anomalies occurrin ...
Thermal pollution can have considerable influence on water temperature in freshwater systems notably affecting stratification (Kirillin et al., 2013). Consequences can be seen across the entire aquatic food web including benthic organisms (Barnett, 1971), ...
