A key review of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems
(Engineering Science and Technology, an International Journal, 2017)
Renewable and sustainable energy generation technologies have been in the forefront due to concerns related to environment, energy independence, and high fossil fuel costs. As part of the EU's 2020 targets, it is aimed to ...
Assessment of cost sources and improvement potentials of a ground-source heat pump food drying system through advanced exergoeconomic analysis method
(Energy, 2017)
Advanced exergoeconomic analysis, the so-called new exergetic approach combined with the economic analysis, is applied to a ground-source heap pump (GSHP) drying system in this study. The thermodynamic inefficiencies and ...
Experimental and numerical studies to assess the energy performance of naturally ventilated PV façade systems
(Solar Energy, 2017)
This paper presents a holistic approach to assess the energy performance of a naturally ventilated PV façade system. A rigorous combined experimental and numerical approach is established. The real energy performance of ...
Dynamic modeling of a refrigeration system with an internal heat exchanger and dual evaporators through exergoeconomic analysis
(International Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2016)
In this study exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of a refrigeration system with two evaporators and an internal heat exchanger were performed. The analysis of the whole system included various thermodynamics parameters ...
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 ...
Comparative assessment of various chlorine family thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production
(International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2016)
This study deals with a comparative assessment of various chlorine family cycles, namely copper-chlorine (CuCl), magnesium-chlorine (MgCl), iron-chlorine (Fe-Cl) and vanadium-chlorine (V-Cl) cycles, which are driven by ...
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 ...
