The heat absorbed by the heat transfer fluid for cooling a concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) solar collector can be used for purposes such as residential heating and cooking. Because of the combined production of ...

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 ...

The global climate crisis has led society toward cleaner energy sources. Another reason is the limited reserves of fossil energy resources. Efforts to increase the efficiency of photovoltaic modules (PVs) have gained ...

Binary geothermal power plants (GPPs) are mostly encountered in geothermal fields with medium and low temperatures. The design and operation of dual binary GPPs can be difficult due to the geothermal fluid properties. This ...

he objective of this study is to improve the performance of a hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) air heater incorporating a thermal energy storage system (TESS) that uses paraffin and has metallic mesh layers. In the ...

Due to environmental and economic reasons, thermal energy saving has gained more importance especially in industry. This study is concerned with the application of insulation to improve thermal energy storage in spherical ...

In this study, a coal-fired stoker boiler and a beta-type rhombic-drive Stirling engine were manufactured and tested. The performance of the coal boiler with a Stirling engine has been investigated experimentally for the ...

In the current article, it is intended to improve the performance of an unglazed solar air collector using mesh tubes as extended heat transfer surfaces and nano-enhanced black paint as a thermal conductivity booster of ...

The literature deals specifically with compressed gas characteristics, solar radiation, storage volume and heat load fluctuation in aboveground storage and thermal energy storage (TES) applications. To prevent their negative ...

In this work, it is aimed to improve the performance of a photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) air collector using finned latent heat thermal energy storage unit. In this regard, four different types of parallel-flow PVT (PPVT) ...
