Simultaneous Quantitative Detection of HCN and C2H2 in Combustion Environment Using TDLAS

Emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and soot particles during the combustion of biomass fuels and municipal solid waste is a major environmental issue. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and acetylene (C2H2) are important precursors of NOx and soot particles, respectively. In the current work, infrared tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (IR-TDLAS), as a non-intrusive in situ technique, was applied to quantitatively measure HCN and C2H2 in a combustion environment. The P(11e) line of the first overtone vibrational band v1 of HCN at 6484.78 cm−1 and the P(27e) line of the v1 + v3 combination band of C2H2 at 6484.03 cm−1 were selected. However, the infrared absorption of the ubiquitous water vapor in the combustion environment brings great uncertainty to the measurement. To obtain accurate temperature-dependent water spectra between 6483.8 and 6485.8 cm−1, a homogenous hot gas environment with controllable temperatures varying from 1100 to 1950 K provided by a laminar flame was employed to perform systematic IR-TDLAS measurements. By fitting the obtained water spectra, water interference to the HCN and C2H2 measurement was sufficiently mitigated and the concentrations of HCN and C2H2 were obtained. The technique was applied to simultaneously measure the temporally resolved release of HCN and C2H2 over burning nylon 66 strips in a hot oxidizing environment of 1790 K.

Numerical Simulation of Combustion and Characteristics of Fly Ash and Slag in a “V-type” Waste Incinerator

This study is focused on a “V-type” waste incinerator for municipal solid waste (MSW) combustion. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are used to study the MSW combustion process. The characteristics of fly ash and slag are analyzed by using a laser particle analyzer, scanning electron microscope, X-ray fluorescence, and X-ray diffraction. The results show that the error between the CFD simulation data and measured data is less than 10%, and the changing trend of the combustion process is well-modeled. The fly ash mainly has an irregular spherical or ellipsoid structure, whereas the slag mainly has an irregular porous structure. The main constituents of the ash and slag are CaO and SiO2, along with heavy metal elements such as Cu, Pb, and Cr.

Exploring the Properties of Mortar Containing Incineration Fly Ash

Fly Ash (FA) is one of the waste materials generated from the combustion of solid waste through incinerator and contains hazardous substances. Further treatment to the ash needs to be done to avoid further environmental destruction. As an alternative solution for this problem, FA is used as a replacement material for cement in the mortar. The main objective of this study is to explore the potential use of FA as partial replacement of cement in mortar. The percentage of FA used to replace the cement in this study is 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Several important tests were conducted to identify main properties of the mortar such as compressive strength, water absorption, density and ultra-pulse velocity. Mortar containing 15% of fly ash has the highest of compression strength which is 35 MPa after 28 days. Besides, the mortar containing 5% of fly ash has the highest result of water absorption test and density test whereas mortar containing 20% of fly ash has the highest value for pulse velocity after 28 days. Thus, mortar containing fly ash has good physical and mechanical properties.

Particulate matter emission during municipal solid waste combustion: Submicron particulates formation mechanism

This paper presents an information on size distribution, inorganic composition and formation mechanism of submicron particles generated from MSW combustion. The XRD and CCSEM analysis results clearly showed that NaCl, KCl, K3Na(SO4)2, and SiO2 are the major inorganic mineral components in submicron particles. Submicron particles are mainly composed of organic components, alkali chlorides, alkali sulfates, and refractory inorganic minerals, but they account for different proportions in PM0.2 and PM0.2-1. There are five formation modes of submicron particles in MSW combustion: “condensation”, “nucleation”, “accumulation”, “crystallization” and “fragmentation”. The “condensation” mechanism mainly seen in PM0.2 composed of gas components, the “crystallization” and “fragmentation” modes formed by alkali salts and char particles are mainly present in PM0.2-1, the “nucleation” and “accumulation” modes coexist in PM0.2 and PM0.2-1. As the combustion temperature increased, the alkali chlorides and sulfates in the “crystallization” form decreased, and the inorganic mineral components in the “nucleation” form increased, which results in the variation of size distribution of submicron particles. In addition, volatile alkali salt nucleation experiments show that when alkali chloride and sulfate coexist in high-temperature flue gas, heterogeneous nucleation and agglomeration can significantly enhance the accumulation of particles in the range of 0.2–0.5 μm.

Development of a Software System for Selecting Steam Power Plant to Convert Municipal Solid Waste to Energy

A software system that enhances the selection of appropriate power plant capacity that will convert combustible municipal solid waste (MSW) into energy was developed. The aggregate of waste to be converted was determined and the corresponding heating value was established. The capacities of steam power plants’ components required for the conversion were determined, using thermodynamic mathematical models. An algorithm based on models used to determine the energy potential, the power potential of MSW, the capacities of the components of the steam power plant, were translated into computer soft code using Java programming language; saturated steam and superheated steam tables, together with the thermodynamic properties of the power plant required were incorporated into the soft code. About 584 tons of MSW having a heating value of 20 MJ/kg was the quantity of waste experimented for energy generation. This information was input into the software as data and was processed. Then, the software was able to predict 3245.54 MWh energy potential for the quantity of waste, and electrical power potential of 40.54 MW. The capacities of the steam power plant components that were predicted include 100.35 MW of boiler power, 40.54 MW of turbine power, and 59.80 MW of condenser power. The methodology adopted will make it easy for the managers in the waste-to-energy sector to appropriately select the suitable capacity of the required steam power plant that can convert any quantify of MSW at any geographical location, without going through the engineering calculation and stress or rigor involved in the plant capacity design. Moreover, the accuracy obtained for the software is greater than 99%.

Investigation of the 60-year relationship between energy consumption and environmental quality in China.

The production and consumption of energy are important driving forces for the economic and social development of a country, and environmental pollution caused by the consumption of energy especially for traditional energy has become a global focus in recent years. This paper analyzes the progress of energy production and consumption in China from 1957 to 2017 and characterizes the correlation between energy consumption and environmental pollution in China. Statistical methods, such as fit regression and gray relevance based on distance, are employed to describe their relations. It is shown that the total amount of energy production and consumption in China has steadily risen. Energy consumption has a strong link with environmental pollution, as demonstrated by its high correlations with the emission of waste gas and the generation of solid waste. The corresponding determination coefficients are 0.99 and 0.98, respectively. The results of the distance-based gray relevancy analysis indicate that, among all the correlations between different industrial wastes, the relation between discharged industrial solid waste and coal combustion is the largest (R = 0.79), while the relation between industrial solid waste and crude oil consumption is the smallest (R = 0.50). Compared to the other two wastes of the industry, energy consumption has the most impact on industrial wastewater, of which the average correlation coefficient is 0.61. The influence of coal combustion on environmental quality is the largest among the various energy consumption activities, with an average correlation coefficient of 0.76. Finally, the paper uses case analysis of remote sensing monitoring for environmental pollution to further discuss environmental problems. This study can provide necessary support for optimizing the domestic structure of energy consumption to further reduce pollution and improve environmental quality in China.

Preparing Municipal Solid Waste Emission Inventory and Spatial Distribution of Prayagraj City Using GIS

Abstract: Pollutants in the air are emitted from a variety of sources in metropolitan areas, causing poor air quality. Using a Geographic Information System (GIS), this project attempts to assess municipal solid waste (MSW) burning emissions and prepare a spatial distribution grid for Prayagraj city. PM10, PM2.5, NOx, SO2, and CO emissions were computed using activity data and emission factors using a bottom-up approach. The result from this study shows that emissions for all 5 pollutants PM10, PM2.5, NOx, SO2, CO are 718, 488, 269, and 3771kg/day respectively, where CO is the highest emitted pollutant. The Prayagraj municipal area was divided into grids of 3 km2 area. The spatial distribution plotted for Prayagraj city shows the hotspot grid areas for all 5 air pollutants emission. The hotspot grids for PM10 are P9, P10, P17, P29 and for PM2.5, NOx, SO2, are P9, P10, P17 and for CO are P9, P10, P14, P17, P29.

Determining the PM10 and PM2.5 Concentrations in Prayagraj City due to Solid Waste Burning using AERMOD

Abstract: Open burning of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a poorly-characterized and frequently-underestimated source of air pollution in developing countries. This paper estimates the air pollution happening from MSW burning in municipality areas of the Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. Air quality models (AQMs) are critical components for urban air quality management because they can predict and forecast air pollutant concentrations. Advanced AQM, such as AERMOD, has a well-established application in the developed world provided sufficient input data is available. However, in poor countries, it is limited due to a lack of adequate and trustworthy data. The present study is focused to assess the urban air quality due to municipal solid waste burning around a Sangam city Prayagraj in India using dispersion modelling. Keywords: PM10, PM2.5, Air Quality Modelling, AERMOD

Application of general third-order Gaussian distribution activation energy model in the combustion of solid waste

ABSTRACT Solid waste had a variety of components, and its complex and obscure combustion behavior brought challenges to calculate the kinetic parameters accurately. Therefore, the thermogravimetric experiments of municipal solid waste and sewage sludge were carried out and a general third-order Gaussian distributed activation energy model was built. The combustion components of solid waste could be divided into three categories: light volatile components, heavy volatile components, and fixed carbon. The kinetic model matched the experimental data well, the adjR2 was above 0.9994 and the global activation energy was within a reasonable range of 54.85 kJ/mol-178.04 kJ/mol. Local sensitivity analysis found that the average activation energy had a strong influence on the stability of the model, and the degree of influence was positively correlated with the content of combustion components. In addition, the model had the ability to predict experimental data under unknown conditions.

Seasonal analysis of submicron aerosol in Old Delhi using high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometry: chemical characterisation, source apportionment and new marker identification

Abstract. We present the first real-time composition of submicron particulate matter (PM1) in Old Delhi using high-resolution aerosol mass spectrometry (HR-AMS). Old Delhi is one of the most polluted locations in the world, and PM1 concentrations reached ∼ 750 µg m−3 during the most polluted period, the post-monsoon period, where PM1 increased by 188 % over the pre-monsoon period. Sulfate contributes the largest inorganic PM1 mass fraction during the pre-monsoon (24 %) and monsoon (24 %) periods, with nitrate contributing most during the post-monsoon period (8 %). The organics dominate the mass fraction (54 %–68 %) throughout the three periods, and, using positive matrix factorisation (PMF) to perform source apportionment analysis of organic mass, two burning-related factors were found to contribute the most (35 %) to the post-monsoon increase. The first PMF factor, semi-volatility biomass burning organic aerosol (SVBBOA), shows a high correlation with Earth observation fire counts in surrounding states, which links its origin to crop residue burning. The second is a solid fuel OA (SFOA) factor with links to local open burning due to its high composition of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and novel AMS-measured marker species for polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). Two traffic factors were resolved: one hydrocarbon-like OA (HOA) factor and another nitrogen-rich HOA (NHOA) factor. The N compounds within NHOA were mainly nitrile species which have not previously been identified within AMS measurements. Their PAH composition suggests that NHOA is linked to diesel and HOA to compressed natural gas and petrol. These factors combined make the largest relative contribution to primary PM1 mass during the pre-monsoon and monsoon periods while contributing the second highest in the post-monsoon period. A cooking OA (COA) factor shows strong links to the secondary factor, semi-volatility oxygenated OA (SVOOA). Correlations with co-located volatile organic compound (VOC) measurements and AMS-measured organic nitrogen oxides (OrgNO) suggest SVOOA is formed from aged COA. It is also found that a significant increase in chloride concentrations (522 %) from pre-monsoon to post-monsoon correlates well with SVBBOA and SFOA, suggesting that crop residue burning and open waste burning are responsible. A reduction in traffic emissions would effectively reduce concentrations across most of the year. In order to reduce the post-monsoon peak, sources such as funeral pyres, solid waste burning and crop residue burning should be considered when developing new air quality policy.

Effect of Paper Waste as Cement Replacement in Rammed Earth Construction

The focus on sustainability is at its peak in the construction industries in the last couple of decades. That includes green constructions such as rammed earth construction. Due to media exposure and carbon emission, people are undeniably turning to green and sustainable buildings. Furthermore, there is an improper management pattern of solid waste management found in developing countries, such as open burning and dumping of solid wastes. In which paper waste is not handled in a good way. There arefew places in developing countries where developing countries follow proper management of solid waste. Paper waste is present in each city because people are using it for daily life. Paper waste has fibre in them and has cellulose content. These components of paper waste are suitable for compressive strength. It has a side effect that it increases water absorbability. The reason for this research work is to reduce paper waste and reduce cement content. This paper also aims to find the durability and strength properties of rammed earth construction.

Soil concentrations, compositional profiles, sources and bioavailability of polychlorinated dibenzo dioxins/furans, polychlorinated biphenyls and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in open municipal dumpsites of Chennai city, India.

Several studies have reported the release of halogenated persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) associated with open burning of municipal solid waste. Considering soil as a sink for such organic contaminants, we conducted an in-depth study on the surface soil concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/furans (PCDD/Fs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and sixteen USEPA enlisted PAHs collected from thirteen zones of the two major municipal dumpsites, Kodungaiyur dumpsite (KDS) and Perungudi dumpsite (PDS) of Chennai city. Indigenous microbes from dumpsite soil samples were isolated and identified based on 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. Using indigenous microbes, we have elucidated the bioavailability of the targeted organic pollutants for each site.Range of Σ17PCDD/Fs, Σ25PCBs and ∑16PAHs varied between 3.96-612pg/g (96.0pg/g; median), ND-182ng/g (6.35ng/g; median) and 0.62-3649ng/g (64.3ng/g; median), respectively. All the dumpsite samples showed bioavailability for POPs and PAHs. Toxicity equivalent values (TEQs) associated with dioxin-like PCBs and PCDD/Fs from the zones where dumped municipal solid wastes were collected from electronic-waste/IT-corridor/port areas and toxic PAHs from the zone receiving wastes from the industrial corridor of the city were higher than the soil permissible limit prescribed by the World Health Organization.

Analysis of The Heavy Metal Content of Pb, Cu and Hg in Leachate at Final Waste Disposal Batu Bola Padangsidimpuan City

Safe and proper disposal of waste is an important component in integrated waste management. The method of accumulating garbage in landfills (TPA) can result in a decrease in environmental quality due to air pollution due to solid waste burning, groundwater pollution due to leaching, and an increasing number of disease vectors that can endanger the health of waste collectors and residents. around the landfill. The purpose of this study was to determine the metal content of Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg) and Copper (Cu) in the leachate of TPA BatuBola. This research method uses descriptive exploratory method by conducting a survey first. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer is a tool used in this study. Data analysis was carried out by comparing the test result data with the quality standards by Permen LHK P.59 / 2016 and Permen LHK No.5 / 2014. The data shows that the concentration of Hg metal is <0.0004 mg / L. Meanwhile, the threshold set by the government is 0.005 mg / L. The concentration of lead metal (Pb) also shows a value that is below the quality standard threshold, namely <0.003 mg / L, while the set limit is 0.1 mg / L. As well, the measurement of copper metal (Cu) is still below the quality standard threshold, namely <0.006 mg / L, while the limit set by the government is 2.0 mg / L. However, caution must be exercised because if it is accumulated in large quantities it can still be dangerous.

Particulate matter formation during shoe manufacturing waste combustion in a full-scale CFB boiler

Municipal solid waste (MSW) combustion in CFB boiler is a promising waste-to-energy technology. However, inorganic minerals in MSW can be transformed into particulate matters (PM) through a series of ash partitioning mechanisms. These generated PM not only can deposit on heat transfer surface and significantly reduce the boiler efficiency, but also might be released to the atmosphere and cause serious health issues for human beings. This work investigated the particulate matter formation mechanism in a full-scale CFB boiler, which incinerates shoe manufacturing waste (SMW) with 576 t/d treatment capability. During the experimental work, PM samples near superheaters were directly sampled through a water-cooled isokinetic probe. Particle size distribution showed that there exists an accumulation mode in submicron particle region. The compositional analysis indicated that ultrafine particles with particle size smaller than 0.1 μm are mainly composed of alkali chlorides. The supermicron particles are mostly composed of calcium. Furthermore, heavy metal contents (Pb and Cr) are fairly enriched in ultrafine particles. Overall, this work sheds the light on the ash partitioning behavior during SMW combustion in circulating fluidized bed, which can provide some insights on the design and optimization of waste-to-energy CFB boiler.

Fine particulate matter exposure in four transport modes of Greater Cairo

The number of daily commuters in Greater Cairo has exceeded 15 million nevertheless personal exposure studies in transport microenvironments are limited. The aim of this study is to quantify PM2.5 exposure during peak hours in four transport modes of Greater Cairo - car (windows-open, windows-closed with recirculation and AC-on), microbus (windows-open), cycling and walking - and understand its underlying drivers. Data was collected using a pDR-1500 monitor and analysed to capture concentration variations, spatial variability, exposure doses, commuting costs versus inhaled doses, health burden and economic losses. Car with recirculation resulted in the least average PM2.5 concentrations (32 ± 6 μg/m3), followed by walking (77 ± 35 μg/m3), car with windows-open (82 ± 32 μg/m3), microbus with windows-open (96 ± 29 μg/m3) and cycling (100 ± 28 μg/m3). Evening hours observed average PM2.5 concentrations by 26–58% lesser than morning. Spatial variability analysis showed that 75th–90th percentile PM2.5 concentrations coincided with congested spots. Cycling and walking lanes are rare hence commuters are exposed to surges in PM2.5 concentrations when passing near construction and solid waste burning sites. Cycling and walking also resulted in inhaling 40-times and 32-times higher PM2.5 dose per kilometre than for car with recirculation. Commuting by microbus cost (with windows-open) ~45% of car cost (with recirculation) but it resulted in 4-times higher inhaled PM2.5 dose. As expected due to the lowest PM2.5 exposure concentrations, health burden resulting from car travel (with recirculation) caused the least death rates of 0.07 (95% CI 0.07–0.08) prematures deaths per 100,000 commuters/year while microbus with windows-open resulted in the highest death rates; 0.52 (95% CI 0.49–0.56). Microbus deaths represent 57% of national economic losses due to PM2.5 exposure amongst the four transport modes. This study provides real-time exposure data and analyses its implications on commuter health as a first step in informed decision-making and better urban planning.

Household solid waste combustion with wood increases particulate trace metal and lung deposited surface area emissions

In households, municipal solid waste (MSW) is often burned along with wood to get rid of waste, to help in ignition or simply to reduce fuel costs. The aim of this study was to characterize the influence of household waste combustion, along with wood, on the physical and chemical properties of particulate emissions in a flue gas of a masonry heater.The MSW burning alongside wood increased average particulate matter (PM) mass (65%), lung deposited surface areas (LDSA, 15%), black carbon (BC, 65%) concentrations and the average particle size in the flue gas. The influence of MSW was smaller during ignition and burning phases, but especially during fuel additions, the mass, number, and LDSA concentrations increased significantly and their size distributions moved towards larger particles. For wood burning the trace metal emissions were relatively low, but significant increase (3.3–179 -fold increase over cycle) was seen when MSW was burned along the wood. High ratios were observed especially during fuel addition phases but, depending on compounds, also during ignition and burning end phases. The highest ratios were observed for chloride compounds (HCl, KCl, NaCl). The observed increase in light-absorbing particle, trace metal and BC concentrations in flue gas when adding wood with MSW are likely to have negative impacts on air quality, visibility, human health and climate. Furthermore, metals may also affect the condition and lifetime of the burning device due to corrosion.

Physico-mechanical and thermal performances of eco-friendly fired clay bricks incorporating palm oil fuel ash

This study investigated the use of palm oil fuel ash (POFA), a by-product of burning solid waste from palm oil production, as a clay replacement in brick manufacturing. Clay was thus replaced with 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% POFA by weight in bricks produced in a local factory to study the feasibility of large-scale manufacturing. The physico-mechanical properties of these bricks (linear shrinkage, weight per unit area, compressive strength, and apparent porosity) were compared with those of conventional bricks without POFA. The thermal performances of the bricks were assessed by measuring the difference in temperature between their top and bottom surfaces during exposure to direct sunlight. The results of this study indicate that replacing clay with POFA reduced the linear shrinkage of the bricks. Furthermore, the weight per unit area and compressive strength of bricks containing higher replacement percentages of POFA decreased due to their increasingly porous structure. Replacing clay with up 10% POFA still met the minimum compressive strength criteria of the Indonesian Industrial Standard for non-load-bearing wall materials (i.e., 2.5 N/mm2). Furthermore, 10% POFA bricks provided better thermal performance, exhibiting a temperature difference of about 6 °C compared to 2.5 °C for conventional bricks without POFA. Therefore, using 10% POFA as a clay replacement in large-scale brick production can address POFA disposal problems, reduce clay consumption, and decrease energy demand for indoor cooling, yielding a more environmentally friendly clay brick.

Elemental Characteristics and Source-Apportionment of PM2.5 During the Post-monsoon Season in Delhi, India

In this study, we have coupled measurements, modeling, and remote sensing techniques to better delineate the source characteristics and variability of air pollutants in Delhi primarily during the post-monsoon season in 2019. We show a comparison of ambient PM2.5 (particulate matter having aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm) levels and associated elements during the post-monsoon with those during a relatively clean season of monsoon (experiencing frequent wet precipitation). Air-mass back trajectories from Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) model have been used to infer the possible source pathways of PM2.5 impacting at the receptor site in Delhi. The average concentrations of PM2.5 during monsoon (June–July) and post-monsoon (October–November) were 42.2 ± 15.5 μg m−3 (range: 22–73 μg m−3) and 121.4 ± 53.6 μg m−3 (range: 46–298 μg m−3), respectively. The PM2.5 samples were analyzed for heavy and trace elements (Si, S, Na, Mg, Al, Cl, Ca, K, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Br, Rb, Zr, and Pb) using an Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-XRF) technique and their concentrations have been used to carry out the source-apportionment utilizing principal component analysis (PCA) tool. The PCA analysis has identified three major sources of fine aerosols including contributions from the sources viz. vehicular emission, biomass burning, coal combustion, secondary aerosols formation, soil dust, solid-waste burning and industrial emission. The source involving biomass burning contributed largely to the PM2.5 in post-monsoon season through long-range transport of large-scale agriculture-residue burning emissions (occurring in the states of Punjab, Haryana, and western part of Uttar Pradesh). The industrial emissions include primarily, medium- and small-scale metal processing industries (e.g. steel sheet rolling) in Delhi-National Capital Region. Traces of emission from coal based thermal power plants and waste incineration have also been observed in this study.

SOLID HOUSEHOLD WASTE DISPOSAL BY DOUBLE STAGE BURNING ON WALKING BEAM AND IN THE BUBBLED MELT

State of the problem of solid waste disposal at landfills has been analyzed. A combined method of two stages of solid waste incineration during the heating season has been proposed. The results of calculations of thermal balances of evaporation processes, burning on a movable bottom and in a bubbled melt, heating of air in the recuperator, heating of water in the contact heat exchanger, boiler and in the hot water supply system has been presented. It is shown that the elimination of the source of pollution in the form of solid waste in a two-stage method of incineration: on a walking step and then in a bubbled melt — makes it possible to get rid of secondary solid waste generated by traditional incineration. As a result of melting in the bubbled melt gases are formed, which contain the products of combustion and decomposition of solid waste and slag consisting of silicates and metal oxides.

Thermal Energy Storage System from Household Wastes Combustion: System Design and Parameter Study

The main problem related to thermal energy is that the thermal energy must be used directly and immediately as generated. For example, the thermal energy of solid waste combustion can be directly utilized for power generation. However, studied of thermal energy storage technology is still placed on the second opinion on waste to heat energy. The heat can be stored using a simple or mobilized system which can store thermal energy and can be brought to somewhere it is needed, for example on domestic heating or drying usage. This article studied and evaluated a micro thermal energy storage system from household waste combustion into a warm water that is great for washing clothes, dishes, shower, and other purposes of household needs. System considered was a simple manner and water is used as the heat energy storage medium. In this study, the equations for initial parameter calculation were presented theoretically based on thermodynamic principle. This paper is hopefully beneficial to the researchers and engineers for preliminary design and development of a heat storage systems technology.
