CFD-subset-FVM-based MATLAB-simulation of Heat Transfer in High Grade Cold Storage Augmenting Cryogenic Energy Storage System by Circulating Natural Gas as Working Fluid : Conceptual Review
Abstract: Abstract. Cryogenic Energy Storage (CES) improves power grid with renewable intermittent power sources. In CES, off-peak excess electricity liquefies air or natural gas. Cryogen is stored in large dewar tanks for long periods of time. Whenever electricity need is in peak, work is recovered from cryogen by a power cycle using waste heat. Many researchers focus on liquid air energy storage (LAES). But, natural gas is promising working fluid for …

Novel method for determination of kinetic constants from dynamics in a batch reactor with constant heat input rate
Abstract: In this article a novel method of obtaining reaction kinetic constants is described. It consists of measuring both concentration and temperature dynamics in a batch reactor supplied with a constant heat input rate. A system of esterification reaction between acetic acid and methanol in the presence of a cationic resin catalyst is studied. This reversible reaction’s rate is modeled by molecular order and as pseudo homogeneous assumption. By just one …

Vacuum Dewatering During Concreting: Modern Construction Method
Abstract: In the RCC construction, water–cement ratio is detrimental for concrete. We always try to restrict the water–cement ratio because we want structure achieve its higher strength rather it is necessary for structure life. For the chemical reaction which is generated in cement and water, water–cement ratio of less than 0.38, whereas the adopted water–cement ratio is much more than that mainly because of the requirement of workability. After the requirement …

Prediction of Compressive Strength of Concrete with Decision Trees
Abstract: In the past few researchers predicted the compressive strength of concrete from its ingredients employing data driven technique like artificial neural network (ANN) and Decision Tree (DT). For Indian concrete records, only one study was available which had employed ANN for prediction. Evaluation of different performance metrics indicated that there was scope of improvement in the prediction performance. In this paper experimental data from the literature was utilized for development …
