A CO-POWERED BIOMASS AND CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER RANKINE CYCLE CONCEPT FOR SMALL SIZE COMBINED HEAT AND POWER GENERATION

A Co-Powered Biomass and Concentrated Solar Power Rankine Cycle Concept for Small Size Combined Heat and Power Generation

The present work investigates the matching of an advanced small scale Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Rankine cycle plant with end-user thermal and electric load.The power plant consists of a concentrated solar power field co-powered by a biomass furnace to produce steam in a Rankine cycle, with a CHP configuration.A hotel was selected as the end use

The Caenorhabditis elegans iodotyrosine deiodinase ortholog SUP-18 functions through a conserved channel SC-box to regulate the muscle two-pore domain potassium channel SUP-9.

Loss-of-function mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans gene sup-18 suppress the defects in muscle contraction conferred by a gain-of-function mutation in SUP-10, a presumptive regulatory subunit of the SUP-9 two-pore domain K(+) channel associated with muscle membranes.We cloned sup-18 and found that it encodes the C.elegans ortholog of mammalian
