Building sector consumes a greater portion of energy for heating and cooling applications. The utilization of fossil fuels for space and water heating in buildings cause a negative effect on the environment by producing ...

Nanofluid is a new class of engineering fluid that has good heat transfer characteristics which is essential to increase the heat transfer performance in various engineering applications such as heat exchangers and cooling ...

Advanced exergy-based analysis and assessment tools have been considered very useful tools for detecting the interactions among components of energy-conversion systems and the real potential for improving each component ...

This paper presents an integrated bottom-up approach aimed at helping those dealing with strategical analysis of installation of Building Integrated Photo Voltaic (BIPV) to estimate the electricity production potential ...

Heat pumps (HP) have been a well-known technology for many years and widely used for heating and cooling of residential buildings due to relatively higher energy utilization efficiencies. In this regard, the structure of ...

This study investigates optimum insulation thickness of a building wall in the city of Bilecik, Turkey. The optimum insulation thicknesses are determined using life cycle cost analyses and a novel method based on the ...

In this chapter, we considered a building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system, which was installed at Yasar University in Izmir, Turkey, within the framework of an EU/FP7-funded project and has been successfully operated ...

This paper analyzes and evaluates exergetic improvement rate (IPex) of the components of a small turbojet engine with various turbine inlet temperatures. The engine consists of an inlet, starter generator, a centrifugal ...

The food industry, especially the cooling of the food, is a major consumer of energy. The high energy consumption forces the food cooling industry for new refrigeration systems and cooling foods with the low energy ...

In this study, performance of a radiant heating-cooling via air source heat pump was investigated. This study is part of a project funded by European Union's FP7 for research, technological development and demonstration. ...
