Heat is the most common form of energy either in final or intermediate forms, with the latter
enabling energy conversion to other useful forms. Heat is primarily sourced from fossil fuels …

Renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, water and geothermal are abundant and
replenished by nature, making them crucial for both present and future sustainable energy …

Abstract The Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), Supercritical Rankine Cycle (SRC), and
Supercritical Brayton Cycle (SBC) are three power cycles that are systematically …

Providing optimal operating conditions is one of the major challenges for effective heating or
cooling systems. Moreover, proper adjustment of the heat transfer fluid is also important from …

The use of nanorefrigerants in refrigeration and heat pump units increases the cycle
performance, with similar effects also applied in organic Rankine cycle (ORC) units, but with …

The thermal energy storage and conversion process possesses high energy losses in the
form of waste heat. The losses associated with energy conversion achieve almost 90% of …

Even though the renewable technologies are getting a gradually increasing share of the
energy industry, the momentum of its growth is far away from outweighing the dominance of …

The application of nanofluids to increase the heat transfer rate in heat exchangers of a
proposed dual-loop RC–ORCheat recovery system (RC with water and ORC with R141b …

A novel solar-assisted combined power and cooling system comprising a parabolic trough
collector (PTC) assisted organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and ejector-absorption cooling cycle …

Recently, new environment-friendly energy conversion technologies are required for using
energy resources valid to power generation. Accordingly, low-grade heat sources as solar …
