Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHeat Transfer Numerical Analysis of a Thermochemical Solar ReactorA. Vázquez-Rodríguez, J. R. Varela-Ham, R. Avalos-Zuñiga et al.In this study a 2D transient temperature distribution in a one-dimensional thermochemical solar reactor of gas-particles is presented. The gas-particles medium is contained in a reactor where an endothermic chemical reaction of some oxide-metal at high temperature is expected to be occurred. The reactor receives the concentrated solar power on the reactor walls, or directly to the gas-particles medium. As … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 6 Jan 2015 · 6,803 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSustainable Energy for Aerospace VesselsRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The advances in solar technology and electric propulsion now offer the promise of new, very capable space transport systems that will allow us to effectively explore the solar system. NASA has developed many concepts of space-powered spacecraft with power levels ranging from tens to hundreds of kilowatts for robotic and asteroid-driven missions and Mars. This paper describes two electrical/chemical propulsion … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 4 Nov 2017 · 8,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMixing Patterns and Residence Time Determination in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed SystemA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldFluidized bed gasification can be used to convert the solar energy stored as carboneous compounds in biomass into a carbon neutral fuel with reduced emissions. Canada produces 20.57 million tonnes of wheat straw annually which could be used for green energy production. Wheat straw residue gasification has the capability of replacing 7.5 % (0.62 EJ) of Canada’s annual fossil fuel … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,115 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Exoplanet has Smothering Stratosphere without WaterRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn some earlier works, the authors of the present study have shown that a modern ship should resemble a UFO, an accelerated particle jet propulsion with a particle accelerator on board the ship, accelerating to the very best big. The problem as an idea is clear and simple, but the current technologies we have in the field of fixed particle … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 22 Jan 2018 · 6,995 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA First-Class Ticket to the Planet Mars, PleaseRelly Victoria Petrescu, Raffaella Aversa, Bilal Akash et al.The paper presents some aspects related to the current stage in the aerospace industry, referring to the current possibilities of moving in space. The main problem that has kept mankind for so many millennia has been the less speed of movement, but also the difficult exit into outer space. For a ship to be able to defeat gravitational forces and … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2017 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
