An Efficient Summer Operation Scheme for a Thermal Power Plant Air Cooling System based on Electric Peak Shaving
We proposed a novel efficient operation scheme for a thermal power plant's air-cooling system based on peak shaving, in order to cope with high ambient temperature in summer. We introduced an absorption-genera...

Study on adsorption of water in MCM41 containing metal ions by molecular dynamic simulations
To clarify whether the adsorption of water in MCM41 can be promoted by introducing some metal ions onto its surface, molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to investigate the behavior of some water mo...
