Energy conservation potential of an extensive green roof in Iran for one year duration
The temperature of cities continues to increase because of the heat island phenomenon and the undeniable climatic change. The observed high ambient temperatures intensify energy problems in cities, deteriorates comfort ...
Experimental investigation of filled bed effect on the thermal performance of a wet cooling tower by using ZnO/water nanofluid
This study deals with an experimental investigation on the effect of different types of filled beds on the
thermal performance of a wet cooling tower by using zinc oxide (ZnO)/water nanofluid. Different concentrations of ZnO/water nanofluid...
Forecasting of Intelligent Thermal Performance in Two Types of Solar Air Heater Using Artificial Neural Networks
with the predicted values of the neural network. According to obtained coefficient of determination, for flat (0.98) and slatted (0.99) glass cover, it has been concluded that using ANN is an accurate method to predict the thermal performance of solar air collectors....
A TRIPARTITE PHYSICS-BASED MODEL FOR ORGANIC SOLAR CELLS
In this paper, a tripartite macroscopic physics-based model is presented for analysis of organic solar cells (OSCs) in several aspects. This model is consisting of three sub-models (optical, electric and thermal models) ...
Comparative study between metal oxide nanopowders on thermal characteristics of nanofluid flow through Helical Coils
Nanofluids and helical coils are two different techniques to enhance thermal performance of
highly efficient heat exchangers. By combining these techniques together, energy efficiency of
equipments could be increased dramatically...
A general optimized geometry of angled ribs for enhancing the thermo-hydraulic behavior of a solar air heater channel e A Taguchi approach
triangular, trapezoidal and rectangular geometries simultaneously. A L16 (44) orthogonal array is used to optimize the geometry factors accounts for the maximum thermal performance of the ribbed channel. Thermal performance concept includes maximization...
