Abstract: The solidification and melting processes in a spherical geometry are investigated in this study. The capsules considered are filled with de-ionized water, so that a network of spheres can be ...

Abstract: This study deals with the process of melting in some typical encapsulated ice thermal energy storage (TES) geometries. Cylindrical and slab capsules are compared with spherical capsules when ...

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive computational work on the hydrodynamic, thermal, and mass transfer characteristics of a circular cylinder, subjected to confined flow at the cylinder Reynolds ...

Abstract: The combination of fuel cells with conventional mechanical power generation technologies (heat engines) promotes effective transformation of the chemical energy of fuels into electrical work. The ...

Abstract: In this study, both energy and exergy analyses and sustainability assessment of a thermal energy storage system with a solar-ground coupled heat pump installed in a 120 m2 house are performed. ...

Abstract: Energy and exergy assessments are reported of integrated power generation using solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) with internal reforming and a gas turbine cycle. The gas turbine inlet temperature ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a thermo-mechanical exergy analysis of Balcova Geothermal District Heating System (BGDHS) in Izmir, Turkey using actual system data and an assessment of the district heating ...

Abstract: The thermodynamic performance of an encapsulated ice thermal energy storage (ITES) system for cooling capacity is assessed using exergy and energy analyses. A full cycle, with charging, storing, ...

Abstract: In this study, solidification process inside a water filled rectangular cavity is numerically investigated. The mathematical model is validated by comparing the current numerical predictions with ...
