the effect of welding residual stresses that was created in thin infill plate of steel plate shear wall system during constructional processes was studied in this research. residual stresses in a welded structure is the result of the non-uniform expansion and contraction and plastic deformation of the weld and surrounding base metal due to heating and cooling cycle, during welding process, this...

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...

Title of Document: HIGH-PERFORMANCE TUBULAR EVAPORATOR UTILIZING HIGH ASPECT RATIO MANIFOLD MICROCHANNELS Vibhash Chandra Jha, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Michael Ohadi, Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering Heat recovery using absorption chillers has not been economical for small scale applications due to high capital requirements and heavy weight/volume as deterring facto...

Biofuels have become a source of renewable energy to offset the use fossil fuels and meet demand for electricity, heat, cooling in industrial sector. This study aims (a) develop simulation trigeneration system based on gas turbine cycle an absorption chiller unit, using biomass syngas from spent coffee grounds (SCGs) replace conventional currently supplying requirements instant plant located Gu...

The environmental performance of a combined cooling, heating, and power system is analyzed in this study at component-level using SPECO-based exergoenvironmental analysis. engine consumes natural gas produces 168.6 kW net power. waste heat recovered by LiBr-H2O absorption chiller exchanger, which are used for cooling heating purposes. energy assisted solar field. An Life Cycle Assessment quanti...

Some physicochemical and rheological properties of jackfruit seed flour and starch, isolated from the flour were investigated. The flour had good capacities for water absorption (205%) and oil absorption (93%). Substitution of wheat flour with the seed flour, at the level of 5, 10 and 20% markedly reduced the gluten strength of the mixed dough. The Brabender amylogram (6% concentration, db) of ...

The current work investigates the exergy analysis of a new system to generate power, heat, and refrigeration. In the proposed system, the heat loss of a gas turbine (GT) is first recovered by a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSD), then by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) to generate warm water and additional power, respectively. In the ORC, reheating is used to increase the output power, the req...
