A renewable energy-based multi-generation system is developed and studied energetically and exergetically. Two renewable sources of energy, biomass and geothermal, are combined to deliver five useful outputs for residential applications. The energy products from biomass sources are used to drive...

In this paper, we undertake a study to investigate the performance of hybrid photovoltaic thermal air collector systems through energy and exergy efficiencies and improvement potential factors and compare them for practical purposes. This will help identify the irreversibilities (exergy...

Most existing nuclear power plants in North America are typically water-cooled and operate at 250–500°C. For this temperature level, the copper–chlorine (Cu–Cl) cycle is one of the most promising cycles that can be integrated with nuclear reactors for hydrogen production by decomposing...
