TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermal properties of Myo-Inositol (MI) and found that the distribution of CuO nanoparticles in the nano-PCM was more uniform than alumina nanoparticles.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of refrigerant charge on steady-state system performance and identifying parameters sensitive to charge level for on-line leak detection in vapour compression refrigeration systems was investigated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a small-scale organic rankine cycle (ORC) system using low grade heat sources to generate electric power at different operating conditions was investigated and the experimental results showed that at a fixed working fluid speed, the thermal efficiency of the tested ORC system could be improved with an increased heat source temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design and simulation of two renewable-based standalone energy systems for application in two different locations are carried out, namely, Nicosia, Cyprus and Nice, France.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermophysical properties of paraffin in water emulsions, such as latent heat of fusion, melting and freezing temperature ranges, viscosity and the effect of surfactants, have been tested using appropriate experimental techniques.
