On the sizing of a solar thermal electricity plant for multiple objectives using evolutionary optimization

Design, implementation and operation of solar thermal electricity plants are no more an academic task, rather they have become a necessity. In this paper, we work with power industries to formulate a multi-objective optimization model and attempt to solve the resulting problem using classical as well as evolutionary optimization techniques. On a set of four objectives having complex trade-offs, our proposed procedure first finds a set of trade-off solutions showing the entire range of optimal solutions. Thereafter, the evolutionary optimization procedure is combined with a multiple criterion decision making (MCDM) approach to focus on preferred regions of the trade-off frontier. Obtained solutions are compared with a classical generating method. Eventually, a decision-maker is involved in the process and a single preferred solution is obtained in a systematic manner. Starting with generating a wide spectrum of trade-off solutions to have a global understanding of feasible solutions, then concentrating on specific preferred regions for having a more detailed understanding of preferred solutions, and then zeroing on a single preferred solution with the help of a decision-maker demonstrates the use of multi-objective optimization and decision making methodologies in practice. As a by-product, useful properties among decision variables that are common to the obtained solutions are gathered as vital knowledge for the problem. The procedures used in this paper are ready to be used to other similar real-world problem solving tasks.     

Decay rate of critical fluctuations in steam and in dilute steam-NaCl mixtures

The decay rate of critical fluctuations in steam and in a steam-NaCl mixture has been investigated experimentally with the aid of photon correlation spectroscopy. For pure steam, the measurements have been performed along seven isochores [(¦– _c¦)/_c<0.09] as a function of the temperatureT for (T–T_t)<1 K. The results have been compared with the values predicted by the renormalization-group theory written as a modification of the classical mode coupling theory. The agreement between experiment and theory is satisfactory along the critical isochore, but larger deviations are noted for _c when approching the transition temperatureT _t. The decay rate of a 0.1% (molar) dilute mixture of NaCl in H₂O has been measured along some near-critical isochores as a function of temperature. Its behavior, which is very different from that observed for pure steam, is dicussed.Paper presented at the Tenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 20–23, 1988, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A.     

Thermal conductivity of a dendritic ice layer

Measurements of the thermal conductivities of the frozen layer of aqueous binary solutions have been performed using the transient hot-wire method. Solutions of ethylene glycol and sodium chloride were utilized as the testing fluids, and they were frozen up in the test section in which the platinum wires 40 m in diameter and 170 mm in length were strung. Measurements were carried out under equilibrium at a variety of both the initial concentration of the solution and the temperature of the frozen layer. The expressions of the thermal conductivity of the frozen layer were determined. It was found that the thermal conductivity of the dendritic ice layer was favorably assessed with the Lichteneker's model by introducing the solid fraction under an assumption of the equililbrium within the range of parameters examined.Paper presented at the Tenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 20–23, 1988, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A.     

Transport properties of critical dilute solutions

On the basis of the isomorphism of critical phenomena, the behavior of transport properties of binary mixtures in the vicinity of the vapor-liquid critical line is considered. In particular, the renormalization of the singularity of the thermal conductivity in dilute critical solutions has been analyzed in detail. It is shown that the behavior of the thermal conductivity is determined by the critical background, i.e., the fluctuation-induced regular part, which diverges at the critical point of a solvent.

Wet corrosion of nitride PVD films in supercritical solutions

Nitride TiN, TiAlN and CrN films exhibit a high performance with respect to steel corrosion protection in supercritical water. However, for practical applications their corrosion resistance in water solutions is more important. Wet corrosion of nitride PVD films in neutral, acid and alkaline supercritical solutions was studied. The highest stability of the films was revealed in neutral sodium chloride and alkaline CH₃NH₂ solutions. In the latter case regular cubic spinel crystals were formed on the surface of TiAlN films. Acidic solutions destroy nitride films due to growth of corrosion products beneath the coating layer.
