Weather Data Analysis of Solar Panels and a Wind Turbine from an Exergetic Point of View Based on Experimental Values over One Year
(Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization and Environmental Effects, 2015)
In this article the weather data of solar modules and a wind turbine in the Riyadh region, Saudi Arabia were analyzed. In the analysis, experimental values obtained from the system operation over 12 representative days of ...
Enhanced exergy analyses of a gas engine heat pump (GEHP) dryer for medicinal and aromatic plants
(International Journal of Exergy, 2015)
In this study, the performance of a gas engine heat pump (GEHP) drying system is evaluated using both conventional and advanced (or enhanced) exergetic analysis methods. The results indicated that the inefficiencies within ...
Renewable energy effect in a building heating system
(Environment, Energy and Applied Technology - Proceedings of the 2014 3rd International Conference on Frontier of Energy and Environment Engineering, ICFEEE 2014, 2015)
This study deals with performance of net zero energy building and comparable energy/ exergy analyses. Heating energy system is investigated from the primary energy production to the building envelope. As a building, a two ...
Energy, economic, and environmental analysis of a flat-plate solar collector operated with SiO2nanofluid
(Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy, 2015)
To overcome the environmental impact and declining source of fossil fuels, renewable energy sources need to meet the increasing demand of energy. Solar thermal energy is clean and infinite, suitable to be a good replacement ...
Performance Assessment of a Potato Crisp Frying Process
(Drying Technology, 2015)
Frying is a common and popular cooking method, which has been widely used in food manufacturing, though it is a very energy-intensive process. Energy analysis has been commonly used to assess the performance of fryers. In ...
Techno-economic analysis of a stand-alone hybrid renewable energy system with hydrogen production and storage options
(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2015)
In the present study, a hybrid renewable energy system using hydrogen energy as energy storage option is conceptually modeled for the Bozcaada Island in Turkey. The system is investigated from the techno-economic point of ...
Performance enhancement of a Flat Plate Solar collector using Titanium dioxide nanofluid and Polyethylene Glycol dispersant
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2015)
The use of TiO2-water nanofluid as a working fluid for enhancing the performance of a flat plate solar collector has been studied. The volume fraction of the nanoparticles was 0.1% and 0.3% respectively, while the mass ...
An experimental study on the performance and emission assessment of a hydrogen/Diesel fueled engine
(Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization and Environmental Effects, 2015)
This study investigates the engine performance and exhaust emission of the dual-fuel operation on a single cylinder compression ignition engine from the energetic, exergetic, and sustainability points of view using ...
Advanced low exergoeconomic (ALEXERGO) assessment of a building along with its heating system at various stages
(Energy and Buildings, 2015)
The present study deals with evaluating the performance of a building heating system along with its main components using advanced low exergoeconomic analysis method. This method combines advanced exergoeconomic with low ...
Advanced exergoeconomic analysis of a gas engine heat pump (GEHP) for food drying processes
(Energy Conversion and Management, 2015)
Exergetic and exergoeconomic analyses are often used to evaluate the performance of energy systems from the thermodynamic and economic points of view. While a conventional exergetic analysis can be used to recognize the ...
