Turning the tide: experimental creation of tidal channel networks and ebb deltas (2012)
Journal Article
Terwisscha Van Scheltinga, R., Kleinhans, M. G., Van Der Vegt, M., van Scheltinga, R. T., Baar, A. W., & Markies, H. (2012). Turning the tide: experimental creation of tidal channel networks and ebb deltas. Netherlands Journal of Geosciences, 91(3), 311-323. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0016774600000469

Tidal channel networks, estuaries and ebb deltas are usually formed over a period longer than observations cover. Much is known about their characteristics and formation from linear stability analyses, numerical modelling and field observations. Howe...

Flow separation at the inner (convex) and outer (concave) banks of constant-width and widening open-channel bends (2012)
Journal Article
Blanckaert, K., Kleinhans, M. G., Mclelland, S. J., Uijttewaal, W. S., Murphy, B., van de Kruijs, A., …Chen, Q. (2013). Flow separation at the inner (convex) and outer (concave) banks of constant-width and widening open-channel bends. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 38(7), 696-716. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3324

There is a paucity of data and insight in the mechanisms of, and controls on flow separation and recirculation at natural sharply-curved river bends. Herein we report on successful laboratory experiments that elucidate flow structure in one constant-...

Examination of the expander leaving loss in variable organic Rankine cycle operation (2012)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., Li, Y., Wang, D., & Ji, J. (2013). Examination of the expander leaving loss in variable organic Rankine cycle operation. Energy Conversion and Management, 65, 66-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2012.06.023

The organic Rankine cycle (ORC) favorably operates at low temperature. It differs significantly from the steam Rankine cycle in fluid enthalpy drop during expansion and reaction to change in condensation temperature. In current method for ORC-based e...

A novel organic thermodynamic cycle on the use of gravity for pressurization (2012)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., & Ji, J. (2012). A novel organic thermodynamic cycle on the use of gravity for pressurization. Kung Cheng Je Wu Li Hsueh Pao/Journal of Engineering Thermophysics, 33(5), 729-734

Compared with water pump used in the steam Rankine cycle, pump for the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) has several disadvantages such as great difficulty in manufacture, low efficiency, easily-invited cavitation and high cost. A novel organic fluid therm... Read More about A novel organic thermodynamic cycle on the use of gravity for pressurization.

Dynamic performance of a façade-based solar loop heat pipe water heating system (2012)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Duan, Z., Zhao, X., & Chen, M. (2012). Dynamic performance of a façade-based solar loop heat pipe water heating system. Solar Energy, 86(5), 1632-1647. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.solener.2012.02.031

This paper reported a dedicated study of a novel façade-based solar loop heat pipe (LHP) water heating system using both theoretical and experimental methods. This system employs a modular panel incorporating a unique loop heat pipe that is able to s... Read More about Dynamic performance of a façade-based solar loop heat pipe water heating system.

Energetic and exergetic investigation of an organic Rankine cycle at different heat source temperatures (2012)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., Li, Y., Wang, D., & Ji, J. (2012). Energetic and exergetic investigation of an organic Rankine cycle at different heat source temperatures. Energy, 38(1), 85-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2011.12.032

The energetic and exergetic performance of an updated ORC (organic Rankine cycle) is investigated. The thermal efficiencies of the ORC at different heat source temperatures of about 100, 90, 80, and 70°C are explored. The thermodynamic irreversibilit...
