Study of thermomagnetic energy conversion driven by renewable energy
2017
Magnetic heating, refrigeration and energy conversion have been defined very important challenges for promising environmentally future choices. Recent studies are focused attention on new thermomagnetic systems, devices working through thermomagnetic effect, driven by renewable energies. The aim of this work is a case study presentation of new thermomagnetic energy prototype coupled with renewable technologies or industrial waste heat. The paper is divided into four sections: the first gives a general state of art about magneto-caloric energy conversion systems, the second describes all general thermodynamics and magnetic laws governing the process, the third and fourth sections study in mo…

Large Scale Properties of Coronal Heating along the Solar Cycle
2010
We discuss various studies of the global properties of coronal heating. Some of them find power laws tying the X-ray luminosity with the magnetic flux of individual structures, of the whole Sun, and of active solar-type stars. Others are based on methods to model the Sun as an X-ray star. We also briefly discuss solar-like active stars and how the Sun fits in the whole scenario. We use a new model, including all flares, of the Sun as an X-ray star to describe the evolution of the corona along the solar cycle and the implications on the heating of closed coronal structures. We point out that, as activity increases, more heating is released into the confined coronal plasma and such a heating …
