Abstract: A novel solar-assisted combined power and cooling system comprising a parabolic trough collector (PTC) assisted organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and ejector-absorption cooling cycle (EARC) is presented and analyzed in this ...

Abstract: One of the most promising renewable energy sources is solar energy due to low cost and low harmful emissions, and from the 1980s, one of the most beneficial applications of solar energy is the utilization of solar chimney ...

Abstract: Trillions of cigarette butts (CBs) are dumped into landfills globally. CBs leach toxic components into the soil, including heavy metals, tar, and many other chemical compounds. Approximately 7.2 billion CBs are discarded ...

Abstract: Boron hydrolysis reaction can be used for onboard production of hydrogen. Boron is a promising candidate because of its low molecular weight and relatively high valence. The oxide product from ...

Abstract: Hydrolysis of Zn is investigated as the second step in a ZnO∕Zn redox solar water splitting process. Zinc is evaporated and hydrolyzed with steam in a hot wall flow tubular reactor. The ...

Abstract: The modified guided boring method (MGBM) is a new pipe installation method used in hard ground, where a conventional guided boring method is not applicable. Estimation of the required jacking force for pipe installation ...

Abstract: In this study, the performance of parabolic trough collector (PTC) integrated with an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) is investigated to find the optimum operating scenarios and to assess the exergy destruction at different ...

Abstract: The synthesis and hydrolysis of zinc nanoparticles are carried out in a tubular reactor. A key component of the reactor is a coaxial jet quench device. Three coaxial and multi-inlet confined ...

Abstract: One of the main aspects of sustainable engineering constructions is the recycling of byproduct materials or wastes, including those from different agricultural crops. The influence of ternary-blended binders—ordinary ...
