    Abstract: A heat exchanger is provided that can include furcating unit cells coupled with each other. Each of the unit cells can be elongated along an axis and include a sidewall that defines annular ring openings on opposite ends of the unit cell along the axis. The sidewall also can define undulating annular rings between the annular ring openings and axially separated from each other along the axis. The sidewall can further define angled openings into the unit cell both above and below each of the undulating annular rings. At least a first opening of the annular ring openings and the angled openings can be configured to be an inlet to receive a first fluid into the unit cell and at least a second opening of the annular ring openings and the angled openings configured to be an outlet through which the first fluid exits the unit cell.

    Abstract: An aerodynamic hub assembly for a wind turbine is disclosed. The hub assembly may include a hub extension, a rotor blade having a blade root and a blade tip, and a hub airfoil section mounted at least partially over the hub extension. The hub airfoil section may be fixed relative to the rotor blade or may be configured to rotate about a common pitch axis with the rotor blade. The hub extension may be connected to and extend radially from a center of the hub assembly. Further, the hub assembly may include a pitch bearing having an inner race and an outer race, wherein the pitch bearing may be coupled between the hub extension and the blade root. Additionally, the hub assembly may also include an aerodynamically-shaped spinner, wherein the spinner may house at least a portion of a root structure extending radially from the center of the hub assembly.

    Abstract: A water recovery system including a first fluid stream inlet providing for the flow of a first fluid stream, such as a humidified inlet gas, into the system and a second fluid stream inlet providing for the flow of a second fluid stream, such as a gas having a temperature greater than the humidified inlet gas, into the system. At least one contactor is in fluid communication with the first fluid stream inlet and the second fluid stream inlet. The at least one contactor defining therein a first fluidically-isolated, sorbent-integrated, fluid domain for flow of the first fluid stream and water adsorption, a second fluidically-isolated fluid domain for flow of the second fluid stream wherein the second fluidically-isolated fluid domain is in thermal communication with the first fluidically-isolated, sorbent-integrated, fluid domain and a third fluidically-isolated fluid domain for capture of a condensate and recycling of latent heat of condensation back to the first fluidically-isolated, sorbent-integrated, fluid domain.
