Energy efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a promising technology due to its ability to function using low temperature differences and low-quality heat sources, thus allowing it to operate on solar or waste heat. The flux and energy ...
Thermal conductivity and latent heat thermal energy storage properties of LDPE/wax as a shape-stabilized composite phase change material
(2014 , Article)
Phase change material (PCM) composites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) with paraffin waxes were investigated in this study. The composites were prepared using a meltmixing method with a Brabender-Plastograph. The ...
Effectiveness of Ni incorporation in iron oxide crystal structure towards thermochemical CO2 splitting reaction
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
In this study, Ni-doped iron oxide (NixFe3−xO4) materials were synthesized via the 1,2-epoxypropane assisted sol-gel method by varying the molar concentration of Ni from x=0.2 to 1. Sol-gel derived NixFe3−xO4 gels were ...
Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline CoFe2O4-zirconia via propylene oxide aided sol-gel method
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, a Co ferrite/ZrO2 ceramic nanomixture, with a uniform distribution of Co ferrite and ZrO2, was synthesized by the propylene-oxide-assisted sol gel method. Cobalt, iron, and zirconium nitrate salts were used ...
Application of cobalt incorporated Iron oxide catalytic nanoparticles for thermochemical conversion of CO2
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This investigation describes the application of the sol-gel synthesized CoxFe3?xO4 (CF) materials towards the solar thermochemical fuel production. The CF materials were derived by sol-gel method (where x was varied in the ...
Thermodynamic analysis of EMISE-Water as a working pair for absorption refrigeration system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In this paper, thermodynamic analysis of novel ionic liquid 1 Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulphate (EMISE) as absorbent and water as green refrigerant for absorption refrigeration system (ARS) is performed. Thermodynamics ...
Thermodynamic exergy analysis of dysprosium oxide-based solar thermochemical water-splitting cycle
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
The effect of water splitting temperature on the parameters required for the design of solar thermal reactor to conduct the dysprosium oxide based water splitting (Dy-WS) cycle was investigated by using the HSC Chemistry ...
Solar co-production of samarium and syngas via methanothermal reduction of samarium sesquioxide
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports the thermodynamic analysis of the solar methanothermal reduction of Sm2O3 for the co-production of Sm and syngas in (a) Sm-Syngas open cycle, and (b) Sm-Syngas closed cycle. As per the chemical thermodynamic ...
Daily-seasonal operation in net-zero energy building powered by hybrid renewable energies and hydrogen storage systems
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
The net-zero energy buildings are often supplied by renewable resources and energy storage systems. These energy resources have different seasonal and daily patterns of power production. Their output power is also uncertain. ...
A comparative thermodynamic analysis of samarium and erbium oxide based solar thermochemical water splitting cycles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports a thermodynamic comparison between the samarium and erbium oxide based solar thermochemical water splitting cycles. These cycles are a two-step process in which the metal oxide is first thermally reduced ...
