in this research multiple-regression analysis with stepwise selection method was employed for investigating the effectof vertical building envelopes solar radiation (evr) on cooling energy consumption (e cooling) in residential sector.the high capacity of solar energy in semi-arid climate (shiraz) can provide a part of buildings required energy. dependson house orientations in two directions of...

in a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. this is achieved in a cooling tower. the heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout iran. wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. previous studi...

a thermodynamic analysis of the counter flow wet cooling tower (cwct) in the steelmaking unit of the khuzestan steel company (ksc) is performed in this paper. we evaluated both energy and exergy formulations for analyzing the heat and mass transfer, exergy and second-law efficiency in this cooling tower. the lewis factor le f is an indication of the relative rates of heat and mass transfer in a...
