Aerospace Sealing Technology for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Engines: a Review (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shabbir, S., Garvey, S., & Dakka, S. M. (2019, September). Aerospace Sealing Technology for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Engines: a Review. Presented at 24th Conference of the International Society for Air Breathing Engines (ISABE 2019), Canberra, Australia

Given the current rate of growth of gas turbine engines in the aerospace industry, the development of efficient and advanced sealing technology to cater to the harsh operating conditions of the aero-engines is crucial. In addition to developing low-l... Read More about Aerospace Sealing Technology for Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Engines: a Review.

A load-based approach for optimizing a packed-bed thermal store (2019)
Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., & Garvey, S. D. (2019). A load-based approach for optimizing a packed-bed thermal store. Journal of Energy Storage, 25, Article 100835. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.est.2019.100835

This paper presents a load-based optimization approach for improving the efficiency of a packed bed. The optimization is based on splitting the work-cycle of the thermal store into two frequency components: low and high. A packed bed is designed for...

Techno-economic optimization of a packed-bed for utility-scale energy storage (2019)
Journal Article
Cárdenas, B., Davenne, T., Wang, J., Ding, Y., Jin, Y., Chen, H., Wu, Y., & Garvey, S. (2019). Techno-economic optimization of a packed-bed for utility-scale energy storage. Applied Thermal Engineering, 153, 206-220. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2019.02.134

The optimization of a packed bed for utility-scale applications is presented in this paper. The effects that particle size, aspect ratio and storage mass have on the roundtrip exergy efficiency of the store are thoroughly analysed. The paper seeks to...
