The main role of cold water discharged from ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) systems is that deep ocean water, which is dense and nutrient-rich, is released through the condenser and discharged into the ocean surface. We present a numerical simulation in which a cold-water is discharged into a temperature-stratified fluid. A semi-empirical fo...

At present, the Ocean Thermal Energy has low circulating thermal efficiency and poor power supply stability, so it has not been widely applied. To solve this problem, the combined generation system of ocean temperature difference energy and solar auxiliary heat is proposed. The multi-curved compound trough collector absorbs solar radiation energy,...
