Analysis of novel regenerative thermo-mechanical refrigeration system integrated with isobaric engine
Sleiti, Ahmad K.; Al-Ammari, Wahib A.; Al-Khawaja, Mohammed ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers , 2021 , Article)Refrigerants of the conventional cooling systems contribute to global warming and ozone depletion significantly, therefore it is necessary to develop new cooling systems that use renewable energy resources and waste heat ... -
Analysis of the effect of global climate change on ground source heat pump systems in different climate categories
Mohamad, Kharseh; Altorkmany, Lobna; Al-Khawaja, Mohammed; Hassani, Ferri ( Elsevier , 2015 , Article)Ground source heat pump (GSHP) systems exhibit high thermal performance. Consequently, they are increasingly used to heat and cool buildings. The thermal performance of GSHP systems strongly depends on the operation ground ... -
Combined effect of global warming and buildings envelope on the performance of ground source heat pump systems
Kharseh, Mohamad; Altorkmany, Lobna; Al-Khawaja, Mohammed; Hassani, Ferri ( Springer Link , 2014 , Book chapter)Heating and cooling systems as well as domestic hot water account for over 50 % of the world’s energy consumption.
