Abstract Space cooling through air conditioners and electric fans, which already accounts for
10% of global energy consumption, is expected to increase as temperatures rise under …

Proposed sustainable transition pathways for moving away from natural gas in domestic
heating focus on two main energy vectors: electricity and hydrogen. Electrification would be …

In the present study, a CO 2/NH 3 cascade refrigeration system is modeled and analyzed
from exergetic, economic and environmental points of view. In the next step, multi-objective …

Membrane-based absorption cycle is a novel technology to provide excellent heat and mass
transfer performance in the main components for the convenience of small-scale …

This paper addresses the optimal design and operation of hydrocarbon biorefinery via fast
pyrolysis, hydrotreating and hydrocracking of hybrid poplar feedstock under economic and …

This paper makes attempts to perform multi-objective optimization on the solar-powered
Stirling engine with high temperature differential. A new model was proposed based on the …

Present work compares the performance of commercially available 170 kW vapor
compression chiller with equivalent three configurations (parallel, series and combined …

Present work optimizes the performance of 170 kW vapor compression–absorption
cascaded refrigeration system (VCACRS) based on combined thermodynamic, economic …

Gas turbine performance is very sensitive to the ambient air conditions, particularly in hot
and arid climates. Various turbine inlet air cooling (TIAC) techniques including mechanical …

This paper investigates the opportunities for integrating single-and double-stage ammonia-
