drying of agricultural products is a sophisticated process with high energy consumption. energy needed for sustainable development, is one of the biggest challenges facing humanity. the performance of a heat recovery assisted solar dryer was evaluated in this study. drying time, collector efficiency, energy consumption, solar fraction and energy recovery fraction were investigated at different ...

Introduction: Current energy sources are coming to end and one of the main priorities of the country’s management is the energy recovery from renewable energy. Considerable quantity of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the most serious urban pollution sources. Impact assessment matrix is a new and fast tool for Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Materials and Methods: In this regard, r...

municipal solid wastes (msws) vary in terms of quality and quantity, especially their toxic content. the efficient and sound disposal of msws not only needs implementing an integrated management procedure, but also performing a conservative way to reduce the impacts on resources. in the present research, after characterization of msw streams and consideration of disposal methods practiced in si...

This research proposes the combination of a dual-loop non-organic Rankine cycle (DNORC) with an internal combustion engine to increase the output power of the recovery system by focusing on the increase in the energy input and system efficiency. In doing so, it investigates the strategy of increasing the mean effective temperature of heat addition in the high-temperature Rankine cycle (HTRC) (t...

some geothermal reservoirs have temperatures below boiling point and therefore natural steam can not be produced for power generation. refrigerant power cycles may be then employed to recover low temperature heat. in this article study is made of the power cycles of six different relligrants and most suitable refrigerants for this purpose are suggested
