  • HEAT RECOVERY USING ORGANIC RANKINE CYCLE
    Publication number: 20130318969
    Abstract: A system includes a heat exchanger and an organic Rankine cycle system. The heat exchanger is configured to exchange heat between extraction air from a power block and nitrogen from an air separation unit. The organic Rankine cycle system is coupled to the heat exchanger. In addition, the organic Rankine cycle system is configured to convert heat from the extraction air into work.

  • Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle System with Vapor Absorption Chilling
    Publication number: 20120240603
    Abstract: The present application and the resultant patent provide an integrated gasification combined cycle system. The integrated gasification combined cycle system may include a gas turbine engine, one or more power plant components, one or more carbon dioxide compressors, and a vapor absorption chiller. The vapor absorption chiller is driven by a waste heat source flow from the carbon dioxide compressors to produce a chilling medium flow to cool the power plant components.

  • Method of introducing siRNA into adipocytes
    Publication number: 20050014264
    Abstract: In general, it has been difficult to introduce nucleic acid sequences into adipocytes. Methods are described for introducing nucleic acids such as siRNAs into adipocytes, including the introduction of sequences targeting Akt1, Akt2 and Myo1c. Methods for identifying genes involved in glucose transport and for identifying insulin response modulators are described. Therapeutic methods are also provided.
