TL;DR: In this paper, a steady-state thermodynamic framework was developed to study the performance of DCHEs from a combined first and second law perspective, and experiments were carried out to obtain the thermodynamic state properties of air, water, and desiccant that are necessary to perform energy and exergy analyses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed new correlations to investigate the impact ventilation rates and building aspect ratios had on building cooling energy consumption, and investigated the impact of weather conditions on the developed methodology for estimating the energy consumption of buildings.

TL;DR: In this paper, three micro modular combustors with different fuel supply systems were designed and tested, and the results indicated that the in-line design with only one fuel supply tube could not equally distribute H 2 /air mixture to every combustor.

TL;DR: In this article, a spray-assisted low-temperature desalination system powered by solar thermal energy was investigated, and a numerical model was developed to predict the dynamical system performance.

TL;DR: A 3E analysis and multi-objective optimization exercise of a spray-assisted low-temperature desalination technology through a judiciously developed mathematical model revealed that the specific energy consumption highly conflicts with the initial investment, while the specific CO2 emission and the initial investment present a positive correlation.
