Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTEC-Driven Mini Refrigerators: Recent Applications With Performance CharacteristicsTamer Guclu, Pinar Mert Cuce et al.Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) technology has become a remarkable alternative in mini refrigerator applications in recent years, thanks to its lack of moving parts, silent operation, compact structure and environmentally friendly features. This study aims to examine the current usage areas, performance characteristics, and engineering challenges of TEC systems in mini refrigerator applications with a holistic approach. Experimental and theoretical studies … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2025 · 3,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Concentrated Solar Power Collectors with Organic Rankine Cycle and Magnetized NanofluidsSamuel Sami HowardThe performance of “magnetized nanofluids in a Parabolic Trough Concentrating Solar Collector (CSP)-integrated Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and a Thermal Energy Storage (TES) systems are studied. The characteristics of magnetized nanofluids AI2O3, CuO, Fe3O4 and SiO2 as heat transport fluid circulating in integrated Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) with ORC and TES under different solar radiations, angles of incidence and different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2022 · 6,657 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Strategic Study on the Environmental Impacts of Wind Turbine Blade Materials, their Improvements, Economics and End-Life-OptionsOjshwi Prakash, Godwin Glivin, N. Kalaiselvan, V. MariappanWind energy is a great alternative to solar energy (During monsoon) along with conventional non-renewable energy sources and has a potential market growing exponentially. Modern 3 Blade HAWTs are most dominant in the market and have high efficiency. Blades are 15 to 20% of the cost of the wind turbine unit and also exposed to the environment. Therefore it is … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 13 Nov 2020 · 8,371 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Experimental Investigation of a Novel Solar Collector with a W-Shape CoverEdoun Marcel, Djimasra Bonheur, Kuitche Alexis, Zeghmati BelkacemIn the current study, we developed and tested a new type of solar collector named W-shape solar collector. It is a solar collector with single air pass between the transparent cover and the absorber. The cover has double glass whereby the upper glass is flat and the lower glass is w-shape. The absorber is also W-shape. This combination gave rise … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2019 · 7,633 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Retrofits Needed in Old Office Buildings to Achieve Thermal ComfortChipozya Tembo Silungwe, Josephine Mutwale Ziko, Edward Jims SakalaBuilding designs normally are made to offer a given level of comfort to occupants without any mechanical intervention. However, with the advent of global warming temperatures globally have been seen to rise making the occupants of most buildings uncomfortable. The immediate solution has been to add mechanical ventilation, which comes at an added cost of installation and running a building. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2019 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpace Quality of Two Indonesian Mosques: Architectural Style, Development Process and Environmental ConditionMohhamad Kusyanto, Imam Adlin Sinaga, Sugeng Triyadi et al.Mosque buildings in Indonesia show the influence of architectural styles from the Middle East and other parts of the world. Today, information technology and the development of architectural schools play important roles in mosque styles in Indonesia. This study compared two Indonesian mosques (the Cabean and Eco Pesantren mosques in Central and West Java, respectively) in different architectural styles and … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 2 Mar 2019 · 9,098 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContributions to the Stirling Engine StudyFlorian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuIn the process of transforming thermal energy into mechanical work, among the known thermal machines, the Stirling engine is the one that can achieve the highest yield (theoretically up to the maximum yield of the Carnot cycle), although in practice it is reduced by the properties of gas and materials used such as friction coefficient, thermal conductivity, melting point, breaking … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2018 · 10,178 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSmart Retrofit Solutions of Buildings toward a Low Carbon WorldErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn this short communication, energy-efficient, eco-friendly and low-cost solutions for existing buildings are considered in a holistic manner toward low/zero carbon building concept of near future. Buildings are still responsible for about 40% of total primary energy consumption in the world, hence decisive measures need to be taken promptly due to growing significance of environmental issues driven by fossil fuel … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2018 · 7,174 accessesView PDFCite
