Simulated performance of packed bed solar energy storage system is reported in the present paper in continuation with Part-I and Part-II of this paper. The present part of the paper deals with system performance w.r.t. energy consumption by fan to propel air through the bed and thermal efficiency of solar collector. It is observed that energy consumption by fan and thermal efficiency of the col...

In this paper, a geothermal and solar-assisted combined system is designed for the electricity cooling of residences. The water from resource heat transfer fluid heated in parabolic trough collector used as source absorption system. organic Rankine cycle (ORC) generates power with cycle. produced supported to grid. Engineering Equation Solver (EES) Aspen Plus program are thermodynamic thermoeco...

Solar energy is an environmentally sustainable energy source as it is clean and inexhaustible. Solar systems are very common and cost-effective, thus, can be used for many home applications. In this paper, a new method is presented to optimize solar systems economically, regarding to energy cost fluctuations. In spite of conventional analyses, in which the inflation is considered constant, ...

One way to overcome the scarcity of clean water through sustainable approach is by utilizing a solar distillation system. This easy-to-use technology adopting tubular distillation. The three main components, which are most essential for producing amount permeate, collector, and heat exchanger (HE). study aims determine performance device equipped with HE using parabolic trough collector (PTC). ...
