High Temperatures in Line Focusing Systems: Dual Loop Cycle Efficiency and Heat Losses
Abstract This paper analyses a concept for large parabolic trough power plants, in which a molten salt solar field acting as a live steam temperature booster is added to a thermal oil field. The potentially more expensive molten salt field, to which ...

A Sampling Strategy Based on B-wavelets Decomposition
Abstract Finding optimal sampling strategy is a central problem in surface reconstruction. In this paper a sampling strategy on different scales of a free-form surface is proposed. Non-Uniform Rational B-spline (NURBS) surfaces are used to represent ...

Mechanism of deformation around northern Hejin, China, observed by InSAR
Abstract: Interierometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) images reveal deformation around northern Hejin, Shanxi Province. The small baseline subset (SBAS) approach for InSAR-derived deformation indicates that the observed deformation pattern can...

Calculation of an Interaction Index between the Extractive Activity and Groundwater Resources
Abstract Groundwater and stone are intensively exploited in Wallonia (southern region of Belgium). The water table located in the mined geological formation might be reached when the quarry is deepened. Dewatering is therefore performed to depress...

Indicators for Environmental Conflict Monitoring in Natura 2000 Sites
Abstract The mission of the Natura 2000 network focuses on humans-nature relationships, recognizing that human activities are part of the ecosystem and they should not rival with the nature. However, the implementation of Natura 2000 network has...

Numerical Simulation of CO2 Dispersion From Punctures and Ruptures of Buried High-pressure Dense Phase CO2 Pipelines with Experimental Validation
Abstract Carbon capture and storage (CCS) presents an option for significantly reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere and mitigating the effects of climate change. Pipelines are considered to be the most likely...
