The design and response of ground source heat pumps coupled to vertical closed loop arrays in UK domestic applications are investigated in this article. Two typical UK house types are selected as the vehicle for the study and a detailed dynamic thermal modelling method is used to arrive at...

The international regulations on fuel efficiency and NOx emissions of commercial ships motivate the investigation of new system layouts, which can comply with the regulations. In combustion engines, measures to reduce the fuel consumption often lead to increased NOx emissions and careful...

The objective of this paper is to develop a thermo-economic design methodology for an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) based on the specific investment cost (SIC), taking into account changing operating conditions and part load behavior. ORCs typically work in changing operating conditions. Examples...
