Effect of operational parameters on distillate flux in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD): Comparison between experimental and model predicted performance
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven process where hydrophobic membranes are used to separate saline hot feed solution and cold stream of water and allow water to evaporate due to temperature difference. This ...
Design development of aggregates cooling systems for hot weather concreting
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2015 , Article)
Using hot aggregates, in concrete production, results in a drop in compressive strength of the produced concrete. Various methods have been proposed for cooling concrete aggregates. This paper proposes new two designs for ...
Novel design for thermal management of PV cells in harsh environmental conditions
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The abundance of solar energy is a blessing in the Arabian Peninsula, where more than 2000 kWh/m2 density has been recorded annually. This has resulted in sincere consideration of PV harvesting in the energy matrix and ...
Application of Fatty Acid Based Phase-Change Material to Reduce Energy Consumption from Roofs of Buildings
(
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
, 2016 , Article)
Buildings account for a significant portion of the total energy consumption in the U.S., especially the energy-inefficient commercial building sector. As part of the future path toward realizing net zero energy buildings, ...
Hybrid isothermal model for the ferrohydrodynamic chemically reactive species
(
Institute of Physics Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
A hybrid isothermal model for the homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions in ferrohydrodynamic boundary layer flow is established. The characteristics of Newtonian heating and magnetic dipole in a ferrofluid due to a stretchable ...
Axisymmetric Powell-Eyring fluid flow with convective boundary condition: optimal analysis
(
Springer Netherlands
, 2016 , Article)
The effects of axisymmetric flow of a Powell-Eyring fluid over an impermeable radially stretching surface are presented. Characteristics of the heat transfer process are analyzed with a more realistic condition named the ...
Energy efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology due to its ability to function using low temperature differences and low-quality heat sources, thus allowing it to operate on solar or waste heat. The flux and energy ...
Optimal utilization of geothermal heat from abandoned oil wells for power generation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Unlike other types of renewable energy, geothermal resources represent a stable energy source because they can be exploited regardless of meteorological conditions. In geothermal systems, heat is exchanged between the ...
