In pursuit of a replacement for conventional high-density polyethylene tubes in ground source heat pumps from their composites – A comparative study (2020)
Journal Article

Ground-source heat pumps, as the most environmentally friendly and energy-efficient air conditioning technology, suffer from a great required length of ground heat exchanger, partly arising from the low thermal conductivity of high-density polyethyle...

Numerical simulation of a concentrating photovoltaic-thermal solar system combined with thermoelectric modules by coupling Finite Volume and Monte Carlo Ray-Tracing methods (2018)
Journal Article

During the last decades, the adoption of more strict safety and environmental regulations, as well as a rise in energy costs, sparked an increasing interest in the design of renewable energies systems, particularly solar systems, to supply both elect...

Performance assessment of cooling systems in data centers; Methodology and application of a new thermal metric (2016)
Journal Article

This paper introduces a comprehensive cooling index to assess performance of cooling systems in data centers and demonstrates its application on a real case by using CFD (computational fluid mechanics) method. The proposed methodology provides a metr... Read More about Performance assessment of cooling systems in data centers; Methodology and application of a new thermal metric.
