Experimental investigation of thermal performance of an evacuated U-Tube solar collector with ZnO/Etylene glycol-pure water nanofluids
TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of an evacuated U-tube solar collector (EUSC) with ZnO/Etylene Glycol-Pure Water as a working fluid was experimentally investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of firefly algorithm for design optimization of a shell and tube heat exchanger from economic point of view
TL;DR: The outcome of the Firefly algorithm is compared with various design optimization algorithms and the results show a much better solution to the problem of economic optimization for the design of a shell and tube heat exchanger.

Patricia Palenzuela,Guillermo Zaragoza,Diego C. Alarcón-Padilla,E. Guillén,Mercedes Ibarra,Julián Blanco +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic evaluation of different configurations for coupling parabolic-trough (PT) solar power plants and desalination facilities in a dry location representing the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exergoeconomic analysis and multi-objective optimization of an ejector refrigeration cycle powered by an internal combustion (HCCI) engine
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional model is developed for the ejector wall and a multi-objective optimization is performed for the system to find the optimum design variables including the generator, condenser and evaporator temperatures.

UV degradation model for polymers and polymer matrix composites
TL;DR: In this article, a model of ultraviolet (UV) damage for polymers and polymer matrix composites (PMCs) was proposed, where flat and sinusoidal polymer surfaces were numerically simulated for their UV damage as a function of UV intensity, surface topography, and exposure time.
