In this study, the thermodynamic performance of a binary geothermal power plant (GPP) is comparatively evaluated using the exergy analysis and optimization method. Thus, in addition to routes to improve the thermodynamic ...

This article reports the effects of air gap on insulation thickness and life cycle costs for different diameter steel pipes. The life cycle cost analysis based on heat degree days is used as a calculation method. Under ...

This paper presents a comparison between empirical models in the literature and the development of new models for estimating global solar radiation on the horizontal surface in the city of Mugla/Turkey. The necessary ...

Photovoltaic (PV) modules directly convert the solar energy into electricity with electrical efficiency in 10-20%. The rest of the incident solar radiation reflects from front surface and converts into thermal energy which ...

The performance of photovoltaic (PV) and photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems is affected by environmental parameters and working conditions such as, partial shading, refrigerant and operating temperature. This study focuses ...
