Journal ArticleDOI
Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes, 2nd ed.
TL;DR: The Solar Engineering of Thermal Processes (SEPTP) as discussed by the authors has become a classic solar engineering text and reference for students of solar engineering, solar energy, and alternative energy as well as professionals working in the power and energy industry or related fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum design criteria for an Organic Rankine cycle using low-temperature geothermal heat sources
TL;DR: In this paper, a cost-effective optimum design criterion for organic Rankine power cycles utilizing low-temperature geothermal heat sources is presented, where the ratio of the total heat exchanger area to net power output is used as the objective function and was optimized using the steepest descent method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffusion-thermo and thermal-diffusion effects in transient and steady natural convection from a vertical surface
Journal ArticleDOI
The Performance of the Kalina Cycle System 11(KCS-11) With Low-Temperature Heat Sources
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the Kalina cycle system 11 (KCS11) is examined for low-temperature geothermal heat sources and is compared with an organic Rankine cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanofluids and critical heat flux, experimental and analytical study
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of different nanoparticle characteristics including particle concentration, size and type on critical heat flux experimentally at saturated conditions is evaluated and the authors identify reasons behind the increase in the critical heat flow and present possible approaches for analytical modeling of critical flux in nanofluids.
