Exergy as a useful tool for the performance assessment of aircraft gas turbine engines: A key review
(Progress in Aerospace Sciences, 2016)
It is known that aircraft gas turbine engines operate according to thermodynamic principles. Exergy is considered a very useful tool for assessing machines working on the basis of thermodynamics. In the current study, ...
Experimental investigation of the relation between yield stress and ultrasonication period of nanofluid
(International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2016)
Nanofluids are the mixtures of solid nanoparticles in liquid. Like most other fluids, nanofluids could behave as yield stress fluids, which require a certain amount of stress to flow. This flow characteristic may depend ...
Concept mapping sustainable energy management for a holistic approach to energy strategies
(International Journal of Global Warming, 2016)
One of the important reasons for global warming and climate change is regarded as the improper management of fossil energy consumption. There may be various models or approaches to energy management (EM). However, strategic ...
Splitting the exergy destructions of an olive oil refining plant into avoidable and unavoidable parts based on actual operational data
(International Journal of Exergy, 2016)
This study focused on assessing the performance of an olive oil refinery plant (with an oil capacity of 5595 kg/h) located in Izmir, Turkey. The analysis was performed with the use of actual operational data of the system ...
Performance assessment of a polyclinic heating and cooling system in a hospital building
(International Journal of Exergy, 2016)
The performance of a hospital building, heated by a natural gas-fired boiler system, was assessed by using energy and exergy analysis methods in this study. The analysis was performed from the primary energy production to ...
Energy and exergy efficiency of a flat plate solar collector using pH treated Al2O3 nanofluid
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2016)
Application of nanofluid to increase the thermal efficiency of a traditional solar collector is getting tremendous attention among the scientific community. Al2O3-water nanofluid, as a working fluid and its effect on the ...
A new correlation for predicting the thermal conductivity of nanofluids; using dimensional analysis
(International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 2015)
Abstract Thermal conductivity of nanofluids is a key thermophysical property, which depends on concentration and size of nanoparticles, temperature and thermophysical properties of the base fluid. Over last decades, several ...
Avoidable and unavoidable exergy destructions of a fluidized bed coal combustor and a heat recovery steam generator
(Energy Conversion and Management, 2015)
Abstract Advanced exergy analysis was performed using the actual operational data taken from a fluidized bed coal combustor (FBCC) and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) in a textile plant located at TorbalI, Izmir. ...
Heat exchanger applications in wastewater source heat pumps for buildings: A key review
(Energy and Buildings, 2015)
Abstract Wastewater heat recovery applications are becoming widespread in energy saving applications. A sustainable and low emissions operation in air conditioning and heating processes is achieved by harvesting the otherwise ...
Assessment of Maisotsenko combustion turbine cycle with compressor inlet cooler
(Progress in Clean Energy, 2015)
In this study, a Maisotsenko combustion turbine cycle (MCTC) with compressor inlet cooling system is proposed and studied through energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analysis methods. The present system consists of a Maisotsenko ...
