A new integrated power plant with a small scale turbine for the Organic Rankine Cycle

Combined heat and power (CHP or cogeneration) describes the simultaneous generation of electrical power and heat. CHP has been well established for medium and high power ranges (> 100 kW el. power). The Kompakte Dampf Turbine (KDT, meaning compact steam turbine) addresses the low-end of power generation (~2 kW el. power). The KDT is a highly integrated power plant of small dimensions able to use various heat sources. Its simple design promises a low-cost CHP for residential homes

Inter-band B(E2) transition strengths in odd-mass heavy deformed nuclei

Inter-band B(E2) transition strengths between different normal parity bands in 163Dy and 165Er are described using the pseudo-SU(3) model. The Hamiltonian includes Nilsson single-particle energies, quadrupole-quadrupole and pairing interactions with fixed, parametrized strengths, and three extra rotor terms used to fine tune the energy spectra. In addition to inter-band transitions, the energy spectra and the ground state intra-band B(E2) strengths are reported. The results show the pseudo-SU(3) shell model to be a powerful microscopic theory for a description of the normal parity sector in heavy deformed odd-A nuclei.Comment: 4 figures, 2 table

Shell model description of normal parity bands in odd-mass heavy deformed nuclei

The low-energy spectra and B(E2) electromagnetic transition strengths of 159Eu, 159Tb and 159Dy are described using the pseudo SU(3) model. Normal parity bands are built as linear combinations of SU(3) states, which are the direct product of SU(3) proton and neutron states with pseudo spin zero (for even number of nucleons) and pseudo spin 1/2 (for odd number of nucleons). Each of the many-particle states have a well-defined particle number and total angular momentum. The Hamiltonian includes spherical Nilsson single-particle energies, the quadrupole-quadrupole and pairing interactions, as well as three rotor terms which are diagonal in the SU(3) basis. The pseudo SU(3) model is shown to be a powerful tool to describe odd-mass heavy deformed nuclei.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, Accepted to be published in Phys. Rev.

SU(3) realization of the rigid asymmetric rotor within the IBM

It is shown that the spectrum of the asymmetric rotor can be realized quantum mechanically in terms of a system of interacting bosons. This is achieved in the SU(3) limit of the interacting boson model by considering higher-order interactions between the bosons. The spectrum corresponds to that of a rigid asymmetric rotor in the limit of infinite boson number.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, LaTeX, epsfi

В настоящее время когенерация распространена при средних и больших мощностях (> 100 кВт). Компактная паровая турбина (KDT) относитcя к машинам с электрической мощность около 2 кВт. KDT является высокоинтегрированной тепловой машиной, которая в состоянии использовать различные источники тепла.
