The energy consumption for space cooling is progressively increasing. Integrating renewable energy into space cooling systems is critical for reducing CO₂ emissions from the building sector. The salt-based cooling system is an appealing alternative a...

One of the modern methods of protecting against building heat losses is active thermal insulation (ATI). In winter conditions, ATI works by supplying heat into the envelope, which increases the temperature in the ATI layer. A low-temperature renewabl...

Using boundary-layer theory, natural convection heat transfer formulas that are accurate over a wide range of Rayleigh numbers (Ra) were developed in the 1970s and 1980s for vertical and downward-facing plates. A comprehensive formula for upward-faci...

Improvements in the efficiency of gas turbine engines over the decades have led to increasing turbine inlet temperatures. This, in turn, has resulted in the need to cool the turbine blades themselves to avoid damage to them. While air-cooling and fil...

As renewable energy production is intermittent, its application creates uncertainty in the level of supply. As a result, integrating an energy storage system (ESS) into renewable energy systems could be an effective strategy to provide energy systems...

The isobaric heat capacity of solid eutectic mixtures LiCl-KCl-CsCl, LiBr-CsBr and LiBr-KBr-CsBr was investigated from room temperature up to melting point. The molar heat capacity of all mixtures under study was found to be close to the additive sum...

High-quality academic publishing is built on rigorous peer review [...]

Accurate soil heat transfer models are needed to predict and adapt to a warming arctic. A numerical model to accurately predict temperatures and thaw depths in soils, both with depth and with horizontal distance from features such as cliffs, was deve...

The biomass waste obtained at the end-of-pipe of the extraction industry can be used as fuel for energy production, aiming at cost reduction/waste disposal issues. However, few systematic investigations into the calorific value of these residues are...

Buildings account for nearly one-third of overall energy consumption in today’s world energy status, in which a considerable part is used for indoor conditioning. Energy efficiency enhancement of buildings components and technologies is a key p...

Gas hydrate inhibitors, especially those used in offshore environments, are chemicals. These chemicals are synthetic in nature and pose both technical and environmental risks. This study emphasizes the influence of a Plant Extract (PE) on the phase b...

Ejectors have gained renewed interest in the last decades, especially in heat-driven refrigeration systems, to reduce the load of the compressor. Their performance is usually influenced by many factors, including the working fluid, operating conditio...
