LAES is characterized by its high energy density and independence from geographical constraints. It can be efficiently integrated with thermal energy systems, leveraging both cold and heat to improve performance and broaden its application scope. Thermochemical energy storage (TCES), on the other hand, exhibits excellent performance in thermal storage due to its improved grade heat storage and high energy density, making it particularly well-suited for integration with LAES. However, few studies to date have explored the integration of these two technologies. Therefore, this study proposes a hybrid power plant that integrates LAES and TCES. The integrated system stores electricity by harnessing both the cryogenic energy of liquid air and the chemical energy from thermochemical reactions, enabling multi-energy supply and cascading energy utilization.

As the typical channel configuration of PCHEs, the structural parameters of zigzag and airfoil channels can significantly influence thermal–hydraulic characteristics. However, the research on the structural optimization of the LBE side channel is insufficient, and the local flow and heat transfer characteristics of LBE remain unclear. In this study, the numerical simulations of the zigzag channel with different pitches, bend angles, and bend radius, as well as the airfoil channel with different vertical pitches, horizontal pitches, and staggered pitches are conducted to analyze the influence on the flow and heat transfer characteristics of LBE. The results showed that the Nusselt number and friction factor of LBE in the zigzag channel presented a fluctuation change due to the flow contractions and separation flow. Meanwhile, the contribution ratios of channel performance with different structural parameters were investigated, which found that the bend radius of the zigzag channel and the vertical pitch of the airfoil channel exerted the most profound influence on channel performance. Furthermore, combining the structural factors, the heat transfer and friction correlations for LBE were developed, and the optimal structural parameters of both channels were obtained by genetic algorithm.

Experimental results reveal that the combined effect of surface geometries and the thermally conductive silica gel significantly modifies thermal resistances, yielding discrepancies exceeding 11% from theoretical values calculated using thermal conductivity. Numerical simulations incorporating surface geometries exhibit markedly improved accuracy, reducing average relative errors by approximately 50% in temperature predictions and approximately one-third in heat flux estimations.

Building on these findings, the study introduces correction factors to accurately predict heat transfer in 3D printed walls with layered surface geometries.

However, their ultra-compact annular geometry and short fuel residence lead to severe fuel–air maldistribution and pronounced outlet temperature non-uniformity that directly threaten turbine durability. Although the fuel supply ring is known to be the origin of circumferential flow imbalance, the standardized metrics to measure circumferential non-uniformity and its influence on system performance remains unclear. To bridge this gap, this study proposes an overall fuel non-uniformity index σ method to characterize the mixture distribution in fuel supply ring. Radial cross-section average temperature corrected algorithm is applied to authentically reflect axial temperature variation as well. Validated by MTE experiments, this study numerically analyzes three engine speeds and three fuel non-uniformity levels in the evaporating tube-type combustors. Results reveal that fuel droplets form the wall film and distribute in a semi annular structure within evaporation tubes. Increased uneven fuel distribution enlarges films in over-fueled tubes, elevating evaporation rates to a maximum of 0.92 at 80,000 rpm but inducing film breakup at maximum speeds. Although higher σ lead to fuel maldistribution, it can expand overall wall film coverage and enhance heat transfer, consequently improving the evaporation efficiency. A persistent high temperature zone extending from evaporation tube outlets toward chamber walls, influenced by both flow structure and fuel distribution asymmetry. Fuel uniformity significantly impacts the outlet temperature distribution factor (OTDF) and combustion efficiency with speed dependent effects. At the speed of 40,000 rpm, combustion efficiency drops to 0.73 under the highest fuel non-uniformity. At the maximum speed of 98,000 rpm, combustion efficiency declines from 0.90 to 0.83 as σ worsens from 5 % to 10 %. OTDF worsens markedly at extreme fuel non-uniformity under 40,000 rpm and 98,000 rpm conditions, while 80,000 rpm condition shows minimal sensitivity because of its high evaporation rate and combustion efficiency. This work demonstrates that optimizing fuel uniformity is critical for balancing adequate evaporation efficiency and excellent combustion performance in micro turbojet engines.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8201,"journal":{"name":"Applied Thermal Engineering","volume":"281 ","pages":"Article 128571"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145264222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the Monte Carlo method (MCM), commonly used in LDR research, is not suitable for simulating the transient working characteristics within the space nuclear system. This work combines MCM with nonlinear system identification to develop a novel transient nonlinear model for LDR in space nuclear system simulations, with a correlation of 99.98 %. The safety boundaries and transient conditions of a 416 kWh space He/Xe closed Brayton cycle (CBC) system coupled with LDR have been investigated for the first time.

Pre-chamber ignition, which distributes ignition across a wide area by ejecting flame jets from the pre-chamber into the main chamber, offers significant potential to improve engine performance with e-fuels. While optimization of e-fuels could improve thermal efficiency, most existing studies have focused primarily on fluid-dynamic effects, with limited investigation of how multiple e-fuels compare in terms of ignition properties. Consequently, the current basis for defining fuel indices to guide combustion optimization remains insufficient. In this study, the combustion phases and lean limits of several e-fuels (methane, methanol, methyl formate, ethanol, and dimethyl carbonate) were examined using a rapid compression machine with a passive pre-chamber. The results demonstrated that, at an excess air ratio of 1.4, reducing the Lewis number was more effective than increasing laminar flame speed in shortening ignition and combustion duration. This outcome is attributed to the significant role of the Lewis number in flame growth, both near the spark plug and at the orifice exit, under conditions of flame stretching. Moreover, lowering the Lewis number nonlinearly enhanced turbulent burning velocity, thereby compensating for reduced laminar flame speed under lean conditions and ultimately extending the lean limit. These findings identify a novel role of the Lewis number as a decisive fuel index in passive pre-chamber ignition and underscore the need to incorporate it as a key index in e-fuel design for enhancing spark-ignition engine efficiency.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8201,"journal":{"name":"Applied Thermal Engineering","volume":"280 ","pages":"Article 128535"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145217550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
