Phase change material (PCM) water tanks have a major influence on the efficiency improvement of solar energy systems. This article discusses effects PCM under various inlets in tank based related research. So as to research performance storage tank, this paper built set experimental systems using sodium acetate trihydrate. The thermal characteristics two different were analyzed at 2, 6 and 10 L...

Results about energy capture from the environment associated with the self-powering of a wireless sensor network (WSN) for structural health monitoring of aircrafts (SHM) are presented. Thermal gradients taking place during specific flight phases are converted into electrical energy by using a small water tank coupled to a thermoelectric generator which output is connected to a storage circuit....

This paper demonstrates that it is possible to characterize the water temperature profile and its temporal trend in a hot storage tank during thermal charge process, using minimum number of thermocouples (TC), with minor differences compared experimental data. Four tests (two types inlet two flow rates) were conducted 950 L capacity tank. For each test (with 12 TC), four models developed decrea...

Shallow Soil Mixing (SSM) is a sister technology to Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) developed to more economically improve soils within ten meters of the surface. SSM was recently utilized to provide a foundation for large effluent storage tanks as well as to contain foundation soils in the event of liquefaction from an earthquake. Two large storage tanks were required to be built in a pulp mill. The on...

today, saving and storing water are among the most critical and important issues which have attracted the world's attention. history of storing water in the form of ghanat and water reservoir by iranians goes back to ancient times. studies on this field show that benefiting from underground dams was one of the methods employed for exploiting water in past times. in countries like iran, due...
