Hydrogen is an important energy carrier resource that is discussed as an alternative to fossil-fuel sources in response to limiting greenhouse gas emissions, health problems, and increased energy demand. Hydrogen is obtained ...

The limited energy resources globally, low efficiency of renewable energies, complicated and costly energy conversion systems and environmental pollution have significantly increased scholar's interest in innovative and ...

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 ...

Energy sources are of great importance in relation to pollution of the world. The use of renewable energy resources and the creation of more efficient energy systems make great contributions to the prevention of greenhouse ...

The main purpose of this paper is to quantitatively evaluate thermodynamic performance of a geothermal power plant (GPP) from potential for improvement point of view. Thus, sources of inefficiency and irreversibilities can ...

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 study is related to an environmental impact assessment of a district heating system with geothermal (DHS/G). For a real application, the Afyon DHS/G was selected. An advanced exergo-environmental analysis was used as ...

This study aims to optimize the thickness of the insulation layer in the pipes made of different materials for HVAC pipe applications. The pipes used are made of steel, plastic and copper. In case of using some fuel types ...

The energy saving and the environmental impacts' reduction in the world building sector have gained great importance. Therefore, great efforts have been invested to create energy-saving green buildings. To do so, one of ...

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 ...
