Innovative inlet air cooling technology for gas turbine power plants using integrated solid desiccant and Maisotsenko cooler
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
Gas turbine thermal efficiency has significant dependency on climatic conditions. Evaporative cooling is commonly utilized as an inlet air cooling technique in hot and dry climates though an increase in atmospheric humidity ...
Assessment of solar electricity production in the United Arab Emirates
(2013)
In this work the possible large-scale integration of photovoltaic (PV) systems and parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) technologies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) power system is investigated in technical, ...
Analysis of a hydrogen fuel cell-PV power system for small UAV
(Elsevier, 2016-04-27)
This paper investigates the integration of a hybrid power system for a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed hybrid power system consists of hydrogen fuel cell, photovoltaic panels and battery. The UAV is modeled ...
Performance assessment and transient optimization of air precooling in multi-stage solid desiccant air conditioning systems
(Elsevier, 2016-07-01)
Renewable energy is one of the most promising solutions to both energy and global warming crisis. Energy consumption can be minimized considerably by utilizing solar energy in air conditioning systems operation. One of the ...
Analysis of Maisotsenko open gas turbine power cycle with a detailed air saturator model
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
With ever increasing cost of fossil fuels and natural gas, the improvement in gas turbine power cycle efficiency is needed due to the tremendous savings in fuel consumption. Water/steam injection is considered as one of ...
Economics of hydrogen production and liquefaction by geothermal energy
(2012-01)
Seven models are considered for the production and liquefaction of hydrogen by geothermal energy. In these models, we use electrolysis and high-temperature steam electrolysis processes for hydrogen production, a binary ...
Performance Assessment of a Liquid-Phase-Separation Refrigeration Cycle
(Wiley, 2012-10)
Absorption refrigeration cycles are alternatives to conventional vapor-compression cycles in which the energy required for refrigeration is provided by heat instead of mechanical work. In this paper, a novel refrigeration ...
Thermo-economic analysis of an integrated solar power generation system using nanofluids
(Elsevier, 2017-04-01)
In this paper, a thermo-economic analysis of an Integrated Solar Regenerative Rankine Cycle (ISRRC) is performed. The ISRRC consists of a nanofluid-based Parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC), and a Thermal Energy Storage ...
Thermo-economic and comparative analyses of two recently proposed optimization approaches for circular heliostat fields: Campo radial-staggered and biomimetic spiral
(Elsevier, 2016-10-15)
In this paper, comparative analyses between two newly proposed circular heliostat field layout designs, i.e. Campo radial-staggered and biomimetic spiral layouts are carried out. Moreover, different optimization objectives ...
Performance characteristics of an ammonia-water absorption heat pump system
(2013-11)
The influences of the performance parameters and the heat transfer characteristics of the absorption heat pump using ammonia-water mixture are theoretically carried out. There is a pronounced effect of the ammonia concentration ...
