This paper presents a modeling and optimization investigation of a solar driven adsorption cooling system working with activated carbon–methanol pair. It deals with the effect of internal fins on the thermal behavior of the adsorber and on the system performance. A two-dimensional model...

A two dimensional modeling is developed in the reduction zone of a fixed bed downdraft biomass gasifier based on mass, energy and momentum conservation equations written for the solid and fluid phases and coupled with chemical kinetics. Kinetics parameters are derived from previous works and an...

A numerical analysis is performed for the natural convection flow resulting from the combined buoyancy effects of thermal and mass diffusion in an inclined cavity. This work enters within the framework of general study dealing with the mathematical model for solar brackish water desalination...

Benchmarking has been recognized to be an effective analysis methodology and management tool that helps to improve efficiency and performance in many areas for different objectives. Industrial energy benchmarking is a process of evaluating energy performance of an individual industrial plant or...
