Solids Modelling and Capture Simulation of Piperazine in Potassium Solvents
Abstract Piperazine is an amine which is used both as an activator or promoter, but also as active component in CO2 capture solvents. High concentrations are being formulated to draw benefit of the PZ properties. This results in a risk of...

The climatological relationships between wind and solar energy supply in Britain
Abstract We use reanalysis data to investigate the daily co-variability of wind and solar irradiance in Britain, and its implications for renewable energy supply balancing. The joint distribution of daily-mean wind speeds and irradiances shows that...

Illumination and Temperature Dependence of Breakdown Mechanisms in Multi-crystalline Silicon Solar Cells
Abstract If a solar cell is partially shaded in a photovoltaic module, it can be reverse-biased and therefore dissipate power rather than generating it. When being locally concentrated, this power dissipation can lead to hot spots damaging solar...

Small Scale ORC Plant Modeling with the AMESim Simulation Tool: Analysis of Working Fluid and Thermodynamic Cycle Parameters Influence
Abstract ORC plant transient modeling is an actual issue for the correct assessment of the size of the various components of the system especially when unpredictable fluctuations of the inlet thermal flux are to be considered. This work shows the...

Depth distribution of calcareous sediments in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic North Atlantic Ocean
Abstract The upper Mesozoic and Cenozoic distribution of calcareous, biogenic particles which are produced by planktonic foraminifers and nannoplankton and which are the most important components of pelagic sediments since mid-Mesozoic times, has...
