after losses. The solar field is being designed to work in conjunction with a thermal energy storage system which will use phase change material (PCM) as a storage material. The remaining thermal energy will be provided by a natural gas boiler, which will work in series with the solar field and supply thermal energy to the power block when the solar energy is not available. The power block that will convert the thermal energy to electricity is based on Organic Rankine Cycle. This power block will have a nominal capacity of 120 kWe. A preliminary study on condensation methods for solar thermal plants is also conducted and more research will be devoted to the development of cost effective dry cooling technology. Research activities for the next reporting period will focus on the modeling of heat transfer losses through the solar receiver and field piping, pressure drops and pumping requirement and thermal energy storage system design. Fig.2 The solar field layout proposed for 50 kWe Task 1: Development of simulation and design methodology for parabolic trough and parabolic dish The objective of the task one is to develop a simulation and design methodology for the parabolic trough and parabolic dish based technologies for Florida conditions. Solar radiation, solar collector and thermal storage topics are the subtasks, and following progresses have been made during the period. Parabolic trough solar systems are currently one of the most mature and prominent applications of solar energy for production of electricity. Compared to conventional power plants, parabolic trough solar power plants produce significantly lower levels of emissions and carbon dioxide. Thermal simulations and cost analysis of the system are used to evaluate the economic feasibility. Complex models and components are integrated to emulate real operating conditions, such as: Solar Radiation Model, Solar Thermal Collector, Thermal Energy Storage, Solar Field Piping, Power Block, Cost Analysis, and Integration of all Systems. This progress report presents a preliminary design method to calculate solar radiation data and thermal collector efficiency which are used to determine the size and the cost of solar field. 20 | P a g ePDF Image | FESC Research, Education and Outreach Project

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
