Abandoned petroleum wells as sustainable sources of geothermal energy
( Elsevier Ltd , 2014 , Article)A reliable heat transfer model was developed to determine the performance of a double pipe heat exchanger retrofitted to an abandoned petroleum well. The proposed model is compared against an analytical heat transfer model ... -
Energy conversion of heat from abandoned oil wells to mechanical refrigeration - Transient analysis and optimization
( Elsevier , 2012 , Article)This study investigates the potential of using the geothermal energy from abandoned oils in a novel three-loop system; geothermal, power and cooling loops to produce cooling effect. The geothermal loop drives the power and ... -
Performance evaluation of a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger with short-grass ground cover: an experimental study
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Given the negative environmental impact and high energy consumption of conventional air conditioning systems, the use of passive cooling systems has become particularly important. An earth-to-air heat exchanger, which ... -
Utilization of oil wells for electricity generation: Performance and economics
( Elsevier Ltd , 2015 , Article)There is a general agreement that the climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, deploying more renewable energy resources ...
