Therefore, the performance of the MHD power generator is affected by many factors, among which the load coefficient k is of great importance. This paper reveals the effect of some system parameters on the performance by three-dimensional （3D） numerical simulation for a Faraday type MHD power generator using He/Xe as working plasma. The results show that average electrical conductivity increases first and then decreases with the addition of magnetic field intensity. Electrical conductivity reaches the maximum value of 11.05 S/m, while the applied magnetic field strength is B = 1.75 T. When B 〉 3 T, the ionization rate along the midline well keeps stable, which indicates that the ionization rate and three-body recombination rate （three kinds of particles combining to two kinds of particles） are approximately equal, and the relatively stable plasma structure of the mainstream is preserved. Efficiency of power generation of the Faraday type channel increases with an increment of the load factor. However, enthalpy extraction first increases to a certain value, and then decreases with the load factor. The enthalpy extraction rate reaches the maximum when the load coefficient k equals 0.625, which is the best performance of the power generator channel with the maximum electricity production.展开更多

Instead of the usual electrical combination of wind and hydro generators, this work involved combining a water and wind turbine mechanically, before driving an electrical generator. This new combination system was modeled and optimized in MATLAB, using a direct combination system commonly found in multi-engine helicopters.

The directional moving of water molecules, which can be driven by gradient of functional groups and water evaporation, is vital for the electricity generation. Here, MEG composed of Graphene Oxide (GO-MEG) with gradient channels is constructed by one-step ice-templating technique, achieving a voltage of 0.48 V and a current of ~ 5.64 µA under humid condition. The gradient channels introduce Laplace pressure difference to the absorbed water droplets and electric potential between two side of the GO-MEG, facilitating the charge flow. Output voltage can be easily enhanced by increasing the structural gradient, reducing the channel size, incorporation of chemical gradient, or scaling up the number of GO-MEG units in series. This work not only provides insight for the working mechanism of GO-MEG with structural gradient, which can be applied to other functional materials, but also establishes a convenient and ecofriendly strategy to construct and finely tune the structural gradient in porous materials.展开更多

文摘Solar evaporation is recognized as a prospective technique to produce freshwater from non-drinkable water using inexhaustible solar energy.However,it remains a challenge to fabricate low-cost solar evaporators with obviously reduced water evaporation enthalpy to achieve high evaporation rates.Herein,N,O dual-doped carbon foam(NCF)is fabricated from the lowtemperature carbonization of poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET)waste by melamine/molten salts at 340℃.During carbonization,melamine reacts with carboxylic acids of PET degradation products to yield a crosslinking network,and then molten salts catalyze the decarboxylation and dehydration to construct a stable framework.Owing to rich N,O-containing groups,3D interconnected pores,super-hydrophilicity,and ultra-low thermal conductivity(0.0599 W m^(−1) K^(−1)),NCF not only achieves high light absorbance(ca.99%)and solar-to-thermal conversion,but also promotes the formation of water cluster to reduce water evaporation enthalpy by ca.37%.Consequently,NCF exhibits a high evaporation rate(2.4 kg m^(−2) h^(−1)),surpassing the-state-of-the-art solar evaporators,and presents good antiacid/basic abilities,long-term salt-resistance,and self-cleaning ability.Importantly,a large-scale NCF-based outdoor solar desalination device is developed to produce freshwater.The daily freshwater production amount per unit area(6.3 kg)meets the two adults’daily water consumption.The trash-to-treasure strategy will give impetus to the development of low-cost,advanced solar evaporators from waste plastics for addressing the global freshwater shortage.
文摘The hydrothermal behavior of air inside a solar channel heat exchanger equipped with various shaped ribs is analyzed numerically.The bottom wall of the exchanger is kept adiabatic,while a constant value of the temperature is set at the upper wall.The duct is equipped with a flat rectangular fin on the upper wall and an upstream V-shaped baffle on the lower wall.Furthermore,five hot wall-attached rib shapes are considered:trapezoidal,square,triangular pointing upstream(type Ⅰ),triangular pointing downstream(type Ⅱ),and equilateral-triangular(type Ⅲ)cross sections.Effects of the flow rates are also inspected for various Reynolds numbers in the turbulent regime(1.2×10^(4)-3.2×10^(4)).The highest performance(η)value is given for the Ⅱ-triangular rib case in all Re values,while the square-shaped ribs show a significant decrease in the η along the achieved Re range.The η value at Remax is 2.567 for the Ⅱ-triangular roughness case.Compared with the other simulated cases,this performance is decreased by about 3.768%in the case of Ⅰ-triangular ribs,15.249% in the case of Ⅲ-triangular ribs,20.802% in the case of trapezoidal ribs,while 27.541% in the case of square ribs,at the same Remax.Also,a comparison ismade with air-heat exchangers that have non-rough walls and contain cross-shaped VGs presented previously,in order to highlight the effectiveness of the rough surface presence in the baffled and finned channels.The obtained results indicated that the triangular-shaped rib(type Ⅱ)has the most significant hydrothermal behavior than the other cases.This indicates the necessity of roughness heat transfer surfaces for finned and baffled channels to improve significantly the performance of the air-heat exchangers they contain.

文摘Re-engineering the channel heat exchangers(CHEs)is the goal of many recent studies,due to their great importance in the scope of energy transport in various industrial and environmental fields.Changing the internal geometry of the CHEs by using extended surfaces,i.e.,VGs(vortex generators),is the most common technique to enhance the efficiency of heat exchangers.This work aims to develop a newdesign of solar collectors to improve the overall energy efficiency.The study presents a new channel design by introducing VGs.The FVM(finite volume method)was adopted as a numerical technique to solve the problem,with the use of Oil/MWCNT(oil/multi-walled carbon nano-tubes)nanofluid to raise the thermal conductivity of the flow field.The study is achieved for a Re number ranging from12×10^(3) to 27×10^(3),while the concentration(φ)of solid particles in the fluid(Oil)is set to 4%.The computational results showed that the hydrothermal characteristics depend strongly on the flow patterns with the presence of VGs within the CHE.Increasing the Oil/MWCNT rates with the presence of VGs generates negative turbulent velocities with high amounts,which promotes the good agitation of nanofluid particles,resulting in enhanced great transfer rates.

文摘A magnetohydrodynamic （MHD） power generator system involves several subjects such as magnetohydrodynamics, plasma physics, material science, and structure mechanics. Therefore, the performance of the MHD power generator is affected by many factors, among which the load coefficient k is of great importance. This paper reveals the effect of some system parameters on the performance by three-dimensional （3D） numerical simulation for a Faraday type MHD power generator using He/Xe as working plasma. The results show that average electrical conductivity increases first and then decreases with the addition of magnetic field intensity. Electrical conductivity reaches the maximum value of 11.05 S/m, while the applied magnetic field strength is B = 1.75 T. When B 〉 3 T, the ionization rate along the midline well keeps stable, which indicates that the ionization rate and three-body recombination rate （three kinds of particles combining to two kinds of particles） are approximately equal, and the relatively stable plasma structure of the mainstream is preserved. Efficiency of power generation of the Faraday type channel increases with an increment of the load factor. However, enthalpy extraction first increases to a certain value, and then decreases with the load factor. The enthalpy extraction rate reaches the maximum when the load coefficient k equals 0.625, which is the best performance of the power generator channel with the maximum electricity production.

文摘With the continuous improvement of permanent magnet(PM)wind generators'capacity and power density,the design of reasonable and efficient cooling structures has become a focus.This paper proposes a fully enclosed self-circulating hydrogen cooling structure for a originally forced-air-cooled direct-drive PM wind generator.The proposed hydrogen cooling system uses the rotor panel supports that hold the rotor core as the radial blades,and the hydrogen flow is driven by the rotating plates to flow through the axial and radial vents to realize the efficient cooling of the generator.According to the structural parameters of the cooling system,the Taguchi method is used to decouple the structural variables.The influence of the size of each cooling structure on the heat dissipation characteristic is analyzed,and the appropriate cooling structure scheme is determined.
文摘This research work seeks to make renewable energy more reliable, cost effective, and accessible by exploring a different energy combination system to that currently applied to wind and hydro power. Instead of the usual electrical combination of wind and hydro generators, this work involved combining a water and wind turbine mechanically, before driving an electrical generator. This new combination system was modeled and optimized in MATLAB, using a direct combination system commonly found in multi-engine helicopters. The system was found to operate satisfactorily, however it is mechanically more complex than current electrical combining systems. Research was undertaken regarding wind and water resource availability, and the turbines were chosen with these taken into consideration. Various combination systems were explored, including torque and speed split mechanical combinations, conventional electrical combination, and using a modified switched reluctance generator as a method of electro-mechanical combination. The generator selected for this work is a three phase 12/8 Switched Reluctance (SR) machine.

文摘Moist-electric power generation is an emerging energy technology that collects energy from the environment and converts it into electrical energy through the interaction of moisture with materials.Although most of the moist-electric generators(MEGs)have achieved continuous breakthroughs in open-circuit voltage(V_(OC))and duration at present,it has been proven to be a challenge to maintain a continuous relatively high short-circuit current(ISC).Herein,electrospun nanofiber-based Janus heterogeneous film with both moisture absorption and moisture evaporation characteristics is prepared,and excellent power output performance MEGs have been fabricated by setting perforated electrode at each side respectively.Results have demonstrated the Janus nanofiber moist-electric generator(JFMEG)can generate a V_(OC)of 0.6 V with a continuous power generation time of up to 30 d and a maximum I_(SC)of about 44µA cm^(−2)at 95%relative humidity.In addition,the I_(SC)maintenance time above 10µA cm^(−2)is close to 40 h The integrated device can power commercial equipment and can be used for self-powered breath detection.Additionally,the self-powered field-effect transistor by JFMEG has been fabricated,demonstrating excellent output characteristics.The detailed working mechanism of JFMEG and the influencing factors of power generation performance are systematically analyzed,which can provide reference for the performance improvement of similar moist-electric devices.

文摘Moisture can be utilized as a tremendous source of electricity by emerging moisture-electric generator (MEG). The directional moving of water molecules, which can be driven by gradient of functional groups and water evaporation, is vital for the electricity generation. Here, MEG composed of Graphene Oxide (GO-MEG) with gradient channels is constructed by one-step ice-templating technique, achieving a voltage of 0.48 V and a current of ~ 5.64 µA under humid condition. The gradient channels introduce Laplace pressure difference to the absorbed water droplets and electric potential between two side of the GO-MEG, facilitating the charge flow. Output voltage can be easily enhanced by increasing the structural gradient, reducing the channel size, incorporation of chemical gradient, or scaling up the number of GO-MEG units in series. This work not only provides insight for the working mechanism of GO-MEG with structural gradient, which can be applied to other functional materials, but also establishes a convenient and ecofriendly strategy to construct and finely tune the structural gradient in porous materials.

文摘Harvesting energy from humid air to generate electricity represents a promising strategy for sustainable power generation.However,achieving high output and long-term stability in moisture-driven power generators(MPGs)remains a significant challenge.Here,we develop an efficient MPG by incorporating polymerized ionic liquid(PIL)and MXene through in-situ polymerization of cationic long chains within the MXene layers.This structural design enhances the hydrophilicity and ion dynamics,ensuring stable and sustained electrical output.A single MPG device delivers an open-circuit voltage of 0.65 V and a power density of 14.87 μW·cm^(-2),operating continuously for over 36 h.Surface characterization and quantum chemistry calculations elucidate that the mobile anions within the MPG move directionally under moisture gradients,while polymerized cations remain stationary,driving power generation.The MPG exhibits exceptional long-term stability,retaining about 80%of its initial voltage output after 30 days.Moreover,these MPGs demonstrate scalability for practical applications,capable of efficiently charging capacitors and powering LEDs through simple series-parallel configurations.This work offers a promising strategy to simultaneously enhance the performance and operational stability of MPGs,offering a sustainable solution for the direct conversion of low-grade thermal energy from moisture into clean electricity.
文摘The ocean,as one of Earth’s largest natural resources,covers over 70% of the planet’s surface and holds vast water energy potential.Building on this context,this study designs a hybrid generator(WWR-TENG)that integrates a triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)and an electromagnetic generator(EMG).TENG is a new technology that can capture mechanical energy from the environment and convert it into electrical energy,and is particularly suitable for common natural or man-made power sources such as human movement,wind power,and water flow.EMG is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy through the principle of electromagnetic induction and can usually provide stable power output.The composite design leverages the complementary advantages of both technologies to efficiently capture and convert marine wave energy.By combining the TENG’s high energy conversion efficiency,lowcost,lightweight structure,and simple designwith the EMG’s capabilities,the systemprovides a sustainable solution for marine energy development.Experimental results demonstrate that at a rotational speed of 3.0 r/s,the TENG component of the WWR-TENG achieves an open-circuit voltage of approximately 280 V and a shortcircuit current of 20μA.At the same time,the EMG unit exhibits an open-circuit voltage of 14 V and a short-circuit current of 14 mA.Furthermore,when integrated with a power management circuit,the WWR-TENG charges a 680μF capacitor to 3 V within 10 s at a rotational speed of 3.0 r/s.A simulated wave environment platform was established,enabling the WWR-TENG to maintain the thermo-hygrometer in normal operation under simulated wave conditions.These findings validate the hybrid system’s effectiveness in harnessing and storingwave energy,highlighting its potential for practical marine energy applications.
