Solar thermophotovoltaic (STPV) is a light-electricity conversion system consisting of a solar concentrator, an emitter, a filter, PV cells and the cooling system. This paper is aimed at establishing a method for both purposes of design and performance analysis of the STPV device, which consists...

In this paper, exergy method is applied to analyze the gas turbine cycle cogeneration with inlet air cooling and evaporative aftercooling of the compressor discharge. The exergy destruction rate in each component of cogeneration is evaluated in detail. The effects of some main parameters on the...

The modernization processes of hydraulic infrastructures from old open channels to pressurized networks have increased water use efficiency along with a dramatic increase of energy consumptions. The significant energy requirements associated with the increment of the energy tariffs for...
