In this paper the changes in the heat capacity of cooling towers has been investigated as a result of injecting combustion products of boilers. In the tower, the air is re-heated through mixing with hot flue gas after passing through the heat exchangers. As a result of this process, the draft of the cooling tower is increased. The additional produced draft depends on the ambient temperature and...

This paper emphasizes factors associated with the subsystems that are required to extract heat from solar collectors, store this heat, and deliver it to the loads upon demand. While minimum use of auxiliary energy is the general objective, it must be sought with due regard to safety, convenience and cost. Subsystem alterations that improve energy efficiency typically come at added cost in terms...

Cooling by Heating: Very Hot Thermal Light Can Significantly Cool Quantum Systems A. Mari and J. Eisert,Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 120602 (2012) We introduce the idea of actually cooling quantum systems by means of incoherent thermal light, hence giving rise to a counterintuitive mechanism of cooling by heating. In this effect, the mere incoherent occupation of a quantum mechanical mode serves as a ...

Simulations are reported to investigate solid superheating and liquid supercooling of two-dimensional systems with a Yukawa interparticle potential. Motivated by experiments where a dusty plasma is heated and then cooled suddenly, we track particle motion using a simulation with Langevin dynamics. Hysteresis is observed when the temperature is varied rapidly in a heating and cooling cycle. As i...

Mesophilic bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes varied during composting cycles with high numbers in the initial and final cycles with maximal values in compost C and D, and sharply decreased in the heating cycles. Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis were dominated at the initial composting cycle. Whereas, at maturity Bacillus subtilis was the major followed by B.badi...

In this study, heat transfer and aerosol deposition in the under-floor and baseboard heating systems have been investigated, numerically. The aim of this study is a comparison between these heating systems. This comparison obtains the optimal heating system with low suspended particles in the air. Computational fluid dynamic with Eulerian-Lagrangian method has been used to simulate fluid and pa...

Over the past decades, Stockholm and Sweden have reduced CO2 emissions and increased resource efficiency, while maintaining high and sustainable economic growth. A major part of the recipe for success has been the development of the infrastructure for district heating and cooling. The district heating and cooling networks cover the Greater Stockholm Area. A set of large production plants, where...

The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the performances of conventional and heat pump systems for energy and water conservation in open and confined greenhouse systems. Conventional gas furnaces and evaporative cooling, respectively, provided heating and cooling in the conventional system. In the heat pump systems, gas-fired heat pump units provided both heating and cooling. The...
