This study proposes a low-global warming potential cascade heat pump system with
integrated phase change material (PCM) for combined space heating and cooling. PCM is …

In the present study, a black box model for phase change heat exchangers is developed
based on Kriging interpolation. The input and output of the heat exchanger black box model …

An engineered barrier system (EBS) for the deep geological disposal of high-level
radioactive waste (HLW) is composed of a disposal canister, buffer material, gap-filling …

Gas turbine power plants have been widely studied, and as a result the negative effects on
their output power and thermal efficiency have been known when operating in atmospheric …

As a clean heating technology, the wind-to-heat system with shorter energy conversion and
higher efficiency is proposed. The simulation model of the wind-to-heat system is built by …

Replacing combustion appliances with heat pumps can be part of a strategy to electrify
buildings. When their electricity is supplied by renewables, the adoption of heat pumps for …

This article introduces a modular simulation platform for assessing thermal energy storage
(TES) integrated with air source heat pumps (ASHP). The Python platform is an open-source …

Full decarbonization in buildings requires the replacement of combustion appliances with
electric ones, and air source heat pumps (ASHP) are a candidate alternative. However …

This paper presents a novel coupling discretization method for modeling multi-phase heat
exchangers. In the method, the MBM (Moving Boundary Method) is adopted as the solver to …

Tube-fin heat exchangers (TFHXs) are omnipresent within the air-conditioning and
refrigeration industry. Computationally expensive, physics-based models and sometimes …
