Apparatus and Method for Storing Energy
InactiveUS20160032783A1Reduce probabilityEliminateSteam accumulatorsGas turbine plantsStored energyThermal energy
In an energy storage and recovery system, working fluid from a first vessel is compressed by power machinery and passes, via a regenerator, into a second vessel, where it is forced to condense, the temperature and pressure of the saturated working liquid / vapour mixture continuously rising during storage. The stored energy is recovered by the vapour returning through the regenerator and power machinery where it expands to produce work before condensing back into the first vessel. The regenerator comprises a gas permeable, solid thermal storage medium which, during storage, stores superheat and some latent heat from the vapour passing through it in respective downstream regions that exhibit continuously increasing temperature profiles during storage and a small temperature difference with the surrounding vapour, thereby minimising irreversible losses during the thermal energy transfers.

[Object] The present invention is objected to polish the surface of the object material with a high quality at a high polishing rate.[Solution] The object surface is polished using a wet polishing method. Slurry is produced by scattering abrasive particles into pure water. In the abrasive particle, where components which has a mechanochemical effect and which reacts to the friction heat generated in polishing the object material are joined with each other and integrated to a particle. There, respective component is joined with each other using a mechanical alloying process, while maintaining the inherent material properties. When the slurry is used in a lapping process of sapphire, silicon carbide, gallium nitride and the like, the polishing process can be substantially shortened and the processing cost is drastically reduced. Further, it secures a high quality of the polishing surface. The abrasive particle can be used repeatedly in the polishing process. Since the pH value of the slurry is around 3 to 9, it does not deteriorate working environment and the liquid-waste treatment is easy.
