This document summarizes the results of fatigue testing on a solar receiver panel for use in a supercritical carbon dioxide recompression power cycle. It describes the development of a low-cost, high-efficiency receiver architecture using internally-supported absorber cell structures and a novel low-cost quartz window design. Testing demonstrated the receiver's performance in heat transfer and pressure drop as well as its durability in exceeding fatigue life and creep life requirements. An unexpected benefit was the development of robust, compact heat exchangers for high-pressure applications like sCO2 cycle recuperators, which can further reduce the levelized cost of energy for CSP installations.

Case Study: Blast Furnace Gas DistributionFlex Process
Flex Process developed a complex dynamic simulation of a gas distribution network handling the off-gas from multiple blast furnaces. By modelling the continuous changes across the low-pressure system, we were able to identify the co-incident events which had the biggest effects, and recommend modifications to improve energy use.

Design of waste heat driven vapour adsorption cooling system for vehicle air ...eSAT Journals
Abstract In this present era more & more focus is to be given on energy conservation. Refrigeration & air conditioning is one of the growing field of engineering, the existing system are hampering the environment as they are suffering from various environmental problems such as depletion of ozone layer & global warming due to emission of harmful gases such as HFC’s ,CFC’s & CO2 as they were using traditional refrigerants. Waste heat driven Vapour adsorption cooling system is eco-friendly, efficient, & reliable in nature. But on the other hand this system having lowers COP as compare to existing systems which is Due to the lack of research and advancement in the system. By considering the environmental aspects & need of energy conservation it is necessary to design and developed the VAR’s system which will successfully compete the existing systems. This paper will give the idea about the Design of waste heat driven vapour adsorption system of 2KW capacity for vehicle air-conditioning & refrigeration application. The adsorber bed is the heart of the cooling system and it can affect the performance of the system to the greater extent. So that while designing the VAR cooling system more focused is given on design and selection of adsorber bed. This article mainly focused on the various and important design parameters of the vapour adsorption cooling system Such as Adsorber bed design, adsorber and adsorbate mass, design of evaporator & condenser, Coefficient of performance(COP), Specific cooling power (SCP) and the other performance affecting parameters. Keywords: Vapour Adsorption, Design Parameters, Low Grade Thermal Energy, Adsorbate & Adsorbent.
