Alternative fuels, such as biodiesel, can be used in place of fossil fuels, although they have a
greater viscosity and a longer igniting delay. To compensate for these limitations, several …

Abstract Supercritical CO 2 Brayton cycle (SCBC) is widely used in high-temperature waste
heat recovery combined systems with sequential or cascade configurations due to its …

Cooling towers are extensively utilized in diverse industries for efficient heat dissipation. Fill
media are a critical component, facilitating heat and mass exchange between water and air …

Savonius vertical-axis wind turbines are becoming an outstanding alternative for small-scale
power generation mainly due to their simple design, high self-starting performance at low …

The integrated energy system (IES) can effectively utilize the distributed renewable
energies, but its performance improvement requires advanced design and optimization …

Despite their higher viscosity and longer ignition delay, alternative fuels like biodiesel can
be used instead of fossil fuels. This study investigated the potential of the 1-pentanol (10, 20 …

This paper presents a novel differential evolution algorithm for numerical optimization by
designing the neighborhood-based mutation strategy and adaptive evolution mechanism. In …

In the design of a cooling tower there are two key aspects, the thermal performance and
emissions level. The main objective of this paper was the experimental optimisation in terms …

This paper presents a critical evaluation of the thermal performance analysis of the inverted
cooling tower, which was conceived as a new cooling tower prototype that prevents the …

A given temperature difference across the upper and the lower convective zone of a solar
pond is commonly sought in thermoelectric power generation. Based on this consideration …
