A fluttering flag in a uniform laminar flow exhibits complex fluid-structure interaction (FSI) behavior. This investigation experimentally studied aerodynamic load behavior and its connection to the oscillation behavior, flag envelope and fluid flow parameters, and application of Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) to fluid flow data to elucidate...

In this study, three pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) power plants are proposed to be built on the Red Sea–Dead Sea (RSDS) water conveyance project, to generate power from the salinity gradient between two water streams at different salt concentrations. The first two proposed plants are to be built after sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination...

This paper addresses modeling, design, and experimental assessment of a Gamma type low-temperature differential free-piston Stirling engine. The most advanced third-order design analysis method is used to model, simulate and optimize the engine. Moreover, the paper provides an experimental parametric investigation of engine physical parameters and...

Low-temperature heat sources are ubiquitous. Harvesting this heat in an efficient and cost-effective way improve overall systems efficiency and reduce energy costs. Numerous studies shed light on these sources and technologies to utilize low-temperature heat. This paper evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of low-temperature Stirling En...
