Heating decarbonization is a major challenge for China to meet its 2060 carbon neutral
commitment, yet most existing studies on China's carbon neutrality focus on supply side (eg …

Drying is a ubiquitous process in a wide range of applications and industries, including
residential and commercial textile drying, agriculture, chemical processing, and the …

A heat pump dryer (HPD) exhibits significant transient behaviors owing to the combined
system of the heat pump cycle and closed-loop air cycle. However, a complete transient …

Cotton and polyester are the main elements of dryer lint that is generated while drying
clothes, and thus it could serve as a promising and sustainable source of renewable energy …

Clothes dryers play an important role in modern daily life which consumes a lot of residential
electricity. The closed-loop heat pump clothes dryer is a typical energy-saving application in …

The improvement in maximum temperature difference is very important for thermoelectric
