This paper refers to an economic comparison and evaluation of two geothermal district heating systems (GDHSs) under same reference state condition and mechanic/economic parameters by using an advanced exergoeconomic analysis. ...

As a result of decreasing fossil fuel resources and their adverse impacts on the environment, interest in renewable energy resources, particularly geothermal energy, has been revived. Finding approaches that are more ...

Solar air collectors are integrated into the air source heat pump in order to increase the performance of the heat pump in cold climate regions. The evaporator air is heated by solar air collectors. In this study, two ...

This study predicts the effect of insulation thickness on residential- and population-sourced energy demands and emission amounts in the future with a new method. Attempts are made to determine the future population increase ...

Solar power plants are installed in high and open places to receive high solar radiation. However, this leaves them vulnerable to lightning strike. Lightning strike affects power plants in two ways, directly and indirectly. ...

Geothermal driven power plants (GPPs) with two-stage ORC are mostly used in low-temperature geothermal fields around the World. The environmental impacts of these GPPs create a gap in the literature. In this study, enhanced ...

Since both heat and electricity are produced in the cogeneration system, residential heating can be done independently from the grid. Stirling engine is proposed to use for rural areas where electricity cannot reach. It ...

The fact that diffusion absorption refrigeration (DAR) systems can also work with low power plants has increased the interest in these cooling systems again. The DAR systems are mostly analyzed using energy analysis. ...

Transmission lines of the grid-connected solar power plants are affected by lightning strikes. According to the data taken from the malfunction report of the solar power plant located in the Aegean Region of Turkey, the ...

Weight-strength optimization of wooden household chairs was performed based on the member section size in this study. Member section sizes of the Scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) chairs ...
