Energy and economic analysis of geothermal–solar trigeneration systems: A case study for a hotel building in Ischia

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the design, simulation and optimisation of a small trigeneration plant supplied by geothermal and solar energies, where different technologies are implemented in a dynamic simulation model purposely developed for research scope.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of a 50 kW organic Rankine cycle system

TL;DR: In this article, a dimensionless "figure of merit" combining the Jakob number, condensing temperature, and evaporation temperature is proposed for quantitatively screening working fluid as far as thermal efficiency is concerned.

A comparison of mass transfer coefficients between trickle-bed, hollow fiber membrane and stirred tank reactors

TL;DR: The present study compared the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (K(tot)A/V(L) of three reactor types; the TBR with 3 mm and 6 mm beads, five different modules of HFRs, and the STR using O2 as the gaseous mass transfer agent.
