Applications of earth-to-air heat exchangers: A holistic review
(2022)The building sector is responsible for 40% of primary energy consumption, with heating/cooling covering the most significant portion. Thus, passive heating/cooling applications have gained significant ground during the ... -
Couette flow with heat transfer in the whole range of the Knudsen number
(2008)The steady-state one-dimensional flow of a gas between two parallel plates moving with relative velocity and maintained at different temperatures is examined on the basis of the non-linear Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model ... -
Effect of Actual Recuperators’ Effectiveness on the Attainable Efficiency of Supercritical CO2 Brayton Cycles for Solar Thermal Power Plants
(2022)One of the most promising concentrated solar power technologies is the central receiver tower power station with heliostat field, which has attracted renewed research interest in the current decade. The introduction of the ... -
Heating and cooling induced stresses and displacements in heat exchanger piles in sand
(2020)Heating and cooling of heat exchanger piles causes changes in the axial stresses in the pile and vertical pile displacements. Changes in axial stress (thermal stresses) are more significant in the case of fixed head piles, ... -
On the systematic optimization of ethanol fed SOFC-based electricity generating systems in terms of energy and exergy
(2003)An energy-exergy analysis was undertaken in order to optimize the operational conditions of a SOFC-based power plant fueled by ethanol. A certain plant configuration was contemplated, equipped with an external steam reformer, ... -
A printed-circuit heat exchanger consideration by exploiting an Al2O3-water nanofluid: Effect of the nanoparticles interfacial layer on heat transfer
(2021)Supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) Brayton cycle is an encouraging power conversion technology pertaining to waste heat recovery applications, because of the high compactness and efficiency it presents. A key technological ... -
Recuperators investigation for high temperature supercritical carbon dioxide power generation cycles
(2017)Supercritical carbon dioxide (s-CO2) Brayton cycles are a promising technology for the next generation power conversion cycles, attaining equivalent or higher cycle efficiency compared to conventional power cycles at similar ... -
Sensitivity issues concerning inverse heat transfer analysis of welds
(2009)The construction of a general parameterization for inverse analysis of welding processes using incomplete or minimal experimental data, although demonstrated in principle, has yet to be firmly established. The structure ...
