Abstract: The objectives of this study are to (a) evaluate the exergy and energy demand for constructing a hydrofractured shale gas well and determine its typical exergy and energy returns on investment (ExROI and EROI), and (b) ...

Abstract: Analyses of fracturing and thermal performance of fractured reservoirs in engineered geothermal system (EGS) are extended from a depth of 5 km to 10 km, and models for flow and heat transfer in EGS are improved. Effects ...

Abstract: The main objective of this study is to explore and compare the energy and exergy performance of main configurations of nonhybrid (conventional), hybrid (with low- and high-pressure-side booster compressor), and absorption ...

Abstract: In an attempt to improve the performance of hybrid absorption and mechanical vapor compression refrigeration systems and to determine the fundamental reasons for such improvements, two configurations of the hybrid refrigeration ...
