Mechanical engineering students have been taught that true isothermal compression, while ideal from an energy-efficiency perspective, is not achievable. However, a late 1800s technology, the Taylor ...

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Carnot Compression LLC is pleased to announce successful demonstration of isothermal compression across multiple tests and design iterations. Carnot’s ...

Water-spray-cooled quasi-isothermal compressed air energy storage aims to avoid heat energy losses from advanced adiabatic compressed-air energy storage (AA-CAES). The compression efficiency increases ...

Reducing carbon emissions is an urgent problem around the world while facing the energy and environmental crises. Whatever progress has been made in renewable energy research, efforts made to ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Abstract: A numerical analysis of a quasi-isothermal thermodynamic cycle was undertaken for its application in an underwater energy storage system. The conceptual basis for the quasi-isothermal ...

ABSTRACT: Hydraulic Air Compressor (HAC) is a device which converts hydraulic energy to energy of compressed air. A better exploitation of this hydraulic resource is currently investigated. The aim of ...

The compression or expansion of a gas can take place without heat exchange or, on the contrary, with cooling or reheating, which corresponds to two theoretical extreme cases: reversible, i.e.

University College, The Pennsylvania State University, York, PA, USA. Because of the essential conceptual and practical importance of the Carnot heat engine [1] that is conducive to introducing ...
