Artificial Neural Networks-Based Models for an Internally Cooled Liquid Desiccant Dehumidifier
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Advanced internally cooled liquid desiccant air dehumidifiers enhance overall air-conditioning efficiency by incorporating internal cooling mechanisms. Their existing simulation models require detailed dehumidifier ...
A Hybrid Ray-Tracing Optical Model for Compound Parabolic Concentrators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Compound parabolic concentrator (CPC), as a hybrid of the stationary and the tracking collectors, can collect both direct beam and diffuse radiation. CPCs are favorable choices for medium-temperature applications for their ...
Recent Developments in the Design of Vertical Borehole Ground Heat Exchangers for Cost Reduction and Thermal Energy Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ground source (geothermal) heat pumps (GSHPs) can meet the thermal demands of buildings in an energy-efficient manner. The current high installation costs and long payback period limit the attractiveness of GSHP installation ...
Potential of Utilizing Thermal Energy Storage Integrated Ground Source Heat Pump System to Reshape Electricity Demand in the United States
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Each year, more than 20% of electricity generated in the United States is consumed for meeting the thermal demands (e.g., space cooling, space heating, and water heating) in residential and commercial buildings. Integrating ...
