The modelled system is composed of a solar field, a low-temperature micro-Organic Rankine Cycle plant (ORC) and an adsorption chiller (AC). In particular, the main innovation of the model is the utilization of a micro-ORC machine and adsorption chiller implemented on TRNSYS by user-defined types that use experimental performance data obtained by a full characterization of ORC and AC prototypes, implemented at University of Bologna and at CNR - ITAE respectively. The considered micro-ORC system is driven by a reciprocating piston expander prototype, made of three radial cylinders with total displacement of 230 cm3. The other components are two brazed plate heat exchangers as evaporator and recuperator, a prototypal gear pump and a shell-and-tube condenser. The adopted working fluid is HFC-134a, suitable for heat source temperature up to 100 °C and characterized by a global warming potential (GWP) equal to 1430. The adsorption chiller prototype is characterized by an innovative architecture, employing 3 adsorbers connected to a single evaporator and condenser and by the use of hybrid adsorbers, realized embedding microporous Silica Gel loose grains into aluminium flat tube heat exchangers, previously coated with the Mitsubishi AQSOA FAM Z02 sorbent. The cooling machine has a nominal capacity of 4.4 kWc. Both the AC and ORC prototypes can be driven by low grade thermal energy (<90°C) from waste heat, industrial processes or renewable energy sources. The model realized is easily adaptable to any other plant by redefining the different subsystems of the desired technology and, in conclusion, this study has highlighted the promising characteristics of ORC and AC technologies in tri-generative configuration, with a 63% of global efficiency.","PeriodicalId":182421,"journal":{"name":"SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MATERIAL SCIENCE, SMART STRUCTURES AND APPLICATIONS: ICMSS-2019","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125522710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is because a great amount of energy can be stored per mass unit within a small temperature range. Significant applications of this peculiar characteristic of PCM regard the effective adoption of macro-encapsulated PCM into building envelopes. Several studies on this topic tend to be limited to a sort of “material selections” on PCM and a lack of systematic analysis has consequently emerged. In order to guarantee an effective use coupled with economic feasibility, a deep understanding of the phase transition phenomenon is needed. The study of PCM using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is documented in several works, in accordance with the current trend of CFD to become increasingly widespread.

A suitable alternative to oil derived fuel is represented by gaseous fuels, such as Natural Gas (NG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), whose higher knock resistance and better mixing capabilities substantially improve vehicle fuel economy and pollutant emissions. The simultaneous combustion of gasoline and gaseous fuel (Double-Fuel operation, DF) in a naturally aspirated SI engine has already been investigated in the past also by the same authors, proving remarkable results in terms of engine efficiency increment and exhaust emissions reduction. In this paper the authors present the results of a new methodical experimental study aimed to investigate engine performance, efficiency and pollutant emissions obtained on a supercharged SI engine operated in double fuel mode, with comparison to the use of “reference” pure fuels (i.e. gasoline and NG). A detailed heat release analysis is also performed with the aim to highlight the effect of fuel mixture composition (i.e. the proportion between gasoline and NG) and of charging pressure on the combustion speed.","PeriodicalId":182421,"journal":{"name":"SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MATERIAL SCIENCE, SMART STRUCTURES AND APPLICATIONS: ICMSS-2019","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121065136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper a possible strategy for the reduction of the delivery pressure ripple is proposed regarding a variable displacement axial piston pump through suitable modification of the swash plate surface. For this purpose a mathematical model of the pump has been developed, focused on the fluid-dynamic aspect with particular attention on the piston kinematics. The model has been used to introduce a passive control solution in order to modify the instantaneously delivered flow rate and consequently the pressure ripple. In detail, it has been hypothesized to modify the swash plate realizing on its surface a profile with the purpose of modifying the motion law of the pistons. The simulations results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed solution in reducing the amplitude of the pressure ripple.","PeriodicalId":182421,"journal":{"name":"SECOND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MATERIAL SCIENCE, SMART STRUCTURES AND APPLICATIONS: ICMSS-2019","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131453905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
