The role of sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific and high-frequency atmospheric variability from the Pacific during the 1993 and 2008 Midwest floods is investigated with a regional climate model. The SSTAs insignificantly modulate Midwest rainfall during...

A detailed heat transfer model of GAXAC (generator-absorber-exchange absorption compression) cycle using ammonia-water as working fluid is reported. The effect of UA (heat transfer conductance, kW/K) of each component on COP and cycle capacity is investigated. The results show that UA of the...

GAX based absorption cooling systems have been investigated in recent years by various groups across the world due to their advantage of offering a higher performance compared to that of the conventional ammonia-water absorption systems. In this paper, a comprehensive review of several different...

This paper presents the experimental investigation on the thermal properties and viscosity of the new organic ester phase change material embedded with the silver–titania hybrid nanocomposite (HyNPCM) with the mass proportions ranging from 0.1% to 1.5%. The HyNPCM embedded with the surface...

Purpose: Generation scheduling (GS) is the most prominent and hard-hitting problem in the electrical power industry especially in an integrated power system. Countless techniques have been used so far to solve this GS problem for proper functioning of the units in the power system to dispatch...
