A comparative study on estimating the landfill gas potential: Modeling and analysis
(Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization and Environmental Effects, 2016)
The main objective of this study is to investigate the use of the landfill gas as potential energy and electricity obtained from the municipal solid waste (domestic, industrial, medical waste, and sewage sludge) stored ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A key review of wastewater source heat pump (WWSHP) systems
(Energy Conversion and Management, 2014)
Heat pumps (HPs) are part of the environmentally friendly technologies using renewable energy and have been utilized in the developed countries for years. Wastewater is seen as a renewable heat source for HPs. At the ...
Exergetic performance analysis and comparison of various building heating options
(Proceedings of the 2014 International Conference and Utility Exhibition on Green Energy for Sustainable Development, ICUE 2014, 2014)
Heating, cooling and lighting appliances in buildings account for more than one third of the world's primary energy demand. Therefore, they are considered one of the main parts of the energy consumption in buildings. This ...
Splitting the exergy destruction into avoidable and unavoidable parts of a gas engine heat pump (GEHP) for food drying processes based on experimental values
(Energy Conversion and Management, 2013)
Some limitations in a conventional exergy analysis may be significantly reduced through an advanced exergy analysis. In this regard, the latter is a very useful tool to assess the real potential for improving a system ...
Assessing Exergy-Based Economic and Sustainability Analyses of a Military Gas Turbine Engine Fueled with Various Fuels
(MDPI, 2020)
This research put forth exergy-based economic and sustainability analyses of a (J85-GE-5H) military turbojet engine (TJE). Firstly, sustainability, conventional exergoeconomic and advanced exergoeconomic cost analyses were ...
Comparative Performance Metric Assessment of A Military Turbojet Engine Utilizing Hydrogen And Kerosene Fuels Through Advanced Exergy Analysis Method
(MDPI, 2020)
This study dealt with evaluating the (J85-GE-5H) military turbojet engine (TJE) in terms of exergetic and advanced exergetic analyses at Military (MIL) and Afterburner (AB) process modes by utilizing kerosene (JP-8) and ...
