Abstract: A comparative study of the thermal and economic performance of the parallel and series solar-heat pump systems, stand-alone solar, and stand-alone heat pump systems for residential space and ...

Abstract: A heuristic “pseudo-steady-state” model of the heat and mass transfer occurring in desiccant dehumidifiers, embodied in the program DESSIM, has been proposed as a conceptually and numerically ...

Abstract: A normalized form of Euler’s equations is rewritten in a variation of parameters approach using amplitudes and angular displacement as parameters. This new form is compact and yields a more ...

Abstract: The heating system for CSU House I is simulated using TRNSYS, and simulation results are compared to the measured performance. The heating system is composed of a liquid collection and storage ...

Abstract: A general design procedure is presented for solar-assisted series heat pump systems used for space and process water heating. The procedure accounts for the variable efficiency and rate of ...

Abstract: The performance of open-cycle desiccant air conditioners for residential applications is evaluated. The performance of these systems is compared to that of vapor compression air conditioners on ...

Abstract: A general procedure is presented for estimating the seasonal performance of solar-assisted heat pumps with refrigerant-filled collectors. The procedure accounts for variations in collector design ...
