An analysis of 50 void fraction correlations available in the literature was performed to describe two-phase flow mechanism inside two helical double-pipe vertical evaporators. The evaporators considered water as working fluid connected in countercurrent so the change of phase was carried out...

Exergy transfer analysis is proposed as a complementary method for analyzing and better understanding of the efficiency of microwave heating systems, which play a key role in medicine, chemical engineering, food industry and material processing. Since this method is able to detect and quantify...

In recent years, several intensive studies have been carried out in order to reduce the energy consumption of buildings. One solution lies on whole building energy simulation that permits to enable the heat (and moisture) transfer through the building envelope and, consequently, is a way to...
