    This paper proposes a comprehensive thermodynamic and economic model to predict and compare the performance of concentrated solar power plants with traditional and novel receivers with different configurations involving operating temperatures and locations. The simulation results reveal that power plants with novel receivers exhibit a superior thermodynamic and economic performance compared with traditional receivers. The annual electricity productions of power plants with novel receivers in Phoenix, Sevilla, and Tuotuohe are 8.5%, 10.5%, and 14.4% higher than those with traditional receivers at the outlet temperature of 550°C. The levelized cost of electricity of power plants with double-selective-coated receivers can be decreased by 6.9%, 8.5%, and 11.6%. In Phoenix, the optimal operating temperature of the power plants is improved from 500°C to 560°C by employing a novel receiver. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis of the receiver heat loss, solar absorption, and freeze protection temperature is also conducted to analyze the general rule of influence of the receiver performance on power plants performance. Solar absorption has a positive contribution to annual electricity productions, whereas heat loss and freeze protection temperature have a negative effect on electricity outputs. The results indicate that the novel receiver coupled with low melting temperature molten salt is the best configuration for improving the overall performance of the power plants

    The demands of cooling, heating and electricity in residential buildings are varied with seasons. This article presented a seasonal solar combined cooling heating and power (CCHP) system based on evacuated flat-plate collectors and organic Rankine cycle. The heat collected by evacuated flat-plate collectors is used to drive the organic Rankine cycle unit in spring, autumn and winter, and drive the double-effect lithium bromide absorption chiller in summer. The organic Rankine cycle condensation heat is used to yield hot water in spring and autumn, whereas supply heating in winter. The system thermodynamic performance was analyzed. The results show that the system thermal efficiency in spring, autumn and winter, ηsys, I, increases as organic Rankine cycle evaporation temperature, T6, and evacuated flat-plate collectors outlet temperature, T2, decrease. The maximum ηsys, I of 67.0% is achieved when T6 = 80 °C and T2 =100 °C. In summer, the system thermal efficiency, ηsys, II, increases first and then decreases with the increment of T2. The maximum ηsys, II of 69.9% is obtained at T2 =136 °C. The system output performance in Beijing and Lanzhou is better than that in Hefei. The average output power, heating capacity, hot water and cooling capacity are 50-72 kWh per day, 989-1514 kWh per day, 49-57 ton per day and 1812-2311 kWh per day, respectively. The system exergy efficiency increases from 17.8-40.8% after integrating the organic Rankine cycle unit

    The Study of Dust Formation of Six Tidal Disruption Events

    This paper investigates eleven (UV-)optical-infrared (IR) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of six tidal disruption events (TDEs), which are ASASSN-14li, ASASSN-15lh, ASASSN-18ul, ASASSN-18zj, PS18kh, and ZTF18acaqdaa. We find that all the SEDs show evident IR excesses. We invoke the blackbody plus dust emission model to fit the SEDs, and find that the model can account for the SEDs. The derived masses of the dust surrounding ASASSN-14li, ASASSN-15lh, ASASSN-18ul, ASASSN-18zj, PS18kh, and ZTF18acaqdaa are respectively 0.71.0(1.52.2)×104M\sim0.7-1.0\,(1.5-2.2)\times10^{-4}\,M_\odot, 0.63.1(1.46.3)×102M\sim0.6-3.1\,(1.4-6.3)\times10^{-2}\,M_\odot, 1.0(2.8)×104M\sim1.0\,(2.8)\times10^{-4}\,M_\odot, 0.11.6(0.33.3)×103M\sim0.1-1.6\,(0.3-3.3)\times10^{-3}\,M_\odot, 1.0(2.0)×103M\sim1.0\,(2.0)\times10^{-3}\,M_\odot, and 1.1(2.9)×103M\sim 1.1\,(2.9)\times10^{-3}\,M_\odot, if the dust is graphite (silicate). The temperature of the graphite (silicate) dust of the six TDEs are respectively 11401430(12101520)\sim1140-1430\,(1210-1520)\,K, 10301380(11001460)\sim1030-1380\,(1100-1460)\,K, 1530(1540)\sim1530\,(1540)\,K, 9601380(10201420)\sim960-1380\,(1020-1420)\,K, 900(950)\sim900\,(950)\,K, and 1600(1610)\sim1600\,(1610)\,K. By comparing the derived temperatures to the vaporization temperature of graphite (1900\sim 1900\,K) and silicate (11001500\sim 1100-1500\,K), we suggest that the IR excesses of PS18kh can be explained by both the graphite and silicate dust, the rest five TDEs favor the graphite dust while the silicate dust model cannot be excluded. Moreover, we demonstrate the lower limits of the radii of the dust shells surrounding the six TDEs are significantly larger than those of the radii of the photospheres at the first epochs of SEDs, indicating that the dust might exist before the the TDEs occurred.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, 4 tables, submitted to Ap

    Hybrid PolyLingual Object Model: An Efficient and Seamless Integration of Java and Native Components on the Dalvik Virtual Machine

JNI in the Android platform is often observed with low efficiency and high coding complexity. Although many researchers have investigated the JNI mechanism, few of them solve the efficiency and the complexity problems of JNI in the Android platform simultaneously. In this paper, a hybrid polylingual object (HPO) model is proposed to allow a CAR object being accessed as a Java object and as vice in the Dalvik virtual machine. It is an acceptable substitute for JNI to reuse the CAR-compliant components in Android applications in a seamless and efficient way. The metadata injection mechanism is designed to support the automatic mapping and reflection between CAR objects and Java objects. A prototype virtual machine, called HPO-Dalvik, is implemented by extending the Dalvik virtual machine to support the HPO model. Lifespan management, garbage collection, and data type transformation of HPO objects are also handled in the HPO-Dalvik virtual machine automatically. The experimental result shows that the HPO model outweighs the standard JNI in lower overhead on native side, better executing performance with no JNI bridging code being demanded. 1

    Analysis of a direct vapor generation system using cascade steam-organic Rankine cycle and two-tank oil storage

    Get PDF
    A direct vapor generation solar power system using cascade steam-organic Rankine cycle and two-stage oil tanks is proposed. It offers a significantly enlarged storage capacity due to the unique discharge operation mode. Synthetic oil Therminol® VP-1 is used as the heat carrier and storage medium. Compared with the direct steam generation system, the steam turbine inlet temperature is elevated from 270 °C to 311 °C. Thermodynamic analysis indicates that the optimal equivalent heat-to-power conversion efficiency (ηeq,opt) is 27.91% when benzene is used as the bottom fluid and the mass of oil is 1000 tonnes. ηeq,opt is raised by 7.72–11.60% for the selected four organic fluids as compared with the direct steam generation type. The temperature drop of oil during discharge can reach about 280 °C. Economic studies demonstrate that the proposed system is more cost-effective. Its equivalent payback period is less than 5 years for a 10 MW system with 2000 tonnes of oil. Further investigation shows that it is also more advantageous than a conventional thermal oil-based indirect solar power system due to the cost reduction in heat storage

    Effect of regenerator on the direct steam generation solar power system characterized by prolonged thermal storage and stable power conversion

    The direct steam generation (DSG) solar power system using two stage accumulators and cascade steam-organic Rankine cycle (RC-ORC) has remarkably enlarged storage capacity. It can facilitate stable power generation and address the challenges of conventional DSG systems. Regenerator is generally an issue worthy of discussion in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) systems. However, its influence on the newly proposed DSG system has not been investigated yet and is expected to be appreciable. Introducing a regenerator affects not only the ORC efficiency, RC-ORC efficiency, heat exchanger area, but also heat storage capacity, discharge duration, discharge efficiency, aperture area of collectors and the net profit (ΔP). Detailed performance comparison between the DSG systems without/with regenerator is carried out in this paper. The results indicate that at a given power output, aperture area is reduced by the regenerator especially for MM, R365mfc and pentane due to the increment in ORC, RC-ORC and discharge efficiencies, as well as the decrement in heat input. Discharge duration is shortened by 0.01–1.78 h depending on ORC fluids. R365mfc exhibits the maximum ΔP (4.19∼6.48 million USD), followed by MM and pentane. On the contrary, ΔP is negative for benzene (−5.61∼-4.31 million USD)

    An innovative approach to recovery of fluctuating industrial exhaust heat sources using cascade Rankine cycle and two-stage accumulators

    Get PDF
    The fluctuating property of the heat source is a technical obstacle of waste heat recovery, which leads to part-load operation and reduced economics. This work presents a novel system to mitigate the fluctuations by using steam-organic Rankine cycles (RC-ORC) and two-stage steam accumulators. The system can switch between isothermal heat storage and discharge simply by the regulation of water mass flow (m ) from the low-temperature accumulator (LTA) to the high-temperature accumulator (HTA). In the heat charge mode, m rises when the inlet temperature or mass flow of the heat source increases. The water level of the HTA elevates. Analogously, in the heat discharge mode, m decreases and more water accumulates in the LTA. The RC-ORC operates under the rated condition consistently through the unique structural design. The fundamentals and features of the system are illustrated. Given two typical heat source conditions, the fluctuations in thermal efficiencies are minor (15.63–15.84% and 19.57–19.70%). Thermo-economic estimation of the tanks indicates that the steel cost is roughly 1306 and432 and 432 , respectively. Compared with the single-stage ORC using stream control, the normalized investment cost (NIC) is reduced by 888–925 $/kW. 2 2

    In order to obtain efficient engineered strains for oil production, the desaturase gene from Bacillus subtilis HB1310, an endophytic bacterium isolated from walnut, was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), the single-gene-expression strains BL21(DE3)/pET-de1 and BL21(DE3)/pET-de2 and the co-expression strain BL21(DE3)/pET-de were constructed. The results showed that the desaturase gene was highly expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3), and the desaturase activities of the three engineered strains were higher than that of the wild-type strain after induction for up to 60 h, and they reached their maximum after 24 h, which were enhanced by 1.38, 1.48 and 1.75 times compared with that of the wild-type strain at the same time point, respectively. The overexpression of exogenous desaturase gene led to changes in oil yield and fatty acid components in E. coli. The oil yields of the engineered strains were significantly improved compared with that of the wild-type strain, and reached 0.57, 0.58 and 0.72 g/L after 24 h, respectively. The contents of saturated fatty acids were increased by 72.26%, 66.93% and 123.21%, respectively, and unsaturated fatty acids by 112.18%, 44.18% and 134.30%, respectively in the engineered strains compared with the wild-type strain. This study provides a valuable strain source for the development and application of engineered bacteria for oil production
