Stakeholders such as urban planners and energy policymakers use building performance modeling analysis to develop strategic sustainable plans with the aim of reducing consumption emissions from built environment. However, inconsistent data lack scalable models create a gap between traditional planning practices. An alternative approach is conduct large-scale usage survey, which time-consuming. Similarly, existing studies rely on machine learning or statistical approaches for calculating...
Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal energy storage systems have emerged as a promising solution for efficient from low to very high-temperature applications. This paper presents an investigation into the utilization of medium temperature range PCM-based domestic hot water application, focusing on different techniques overcome conductivity PCM. Five shell and tube heat exchangers were fabricated employing transfer enhancement methods including fin, expanded graphite (EG), combination fin EG....
The low thermal conductivity of phase change materials (PCMs) has limited their widespread use in practical applications. In the present study, different fin structures, namely, rectangular, perforated, and pin were examined to analyze performance melting process rectangular latent heat storage tanks. Experiments performed at both horizontal vertical orientations evaluate effectiveness configurations. Visual observation evolution time intervals was enabled through a transparent plexiglass...
Billions of litres wastewater are produced daily from domestic and industrial areas, whilst is often perceived as a problem, it has the potential to be viewed rich source for resources energy. Wastewater contains between four five times more energy than required treat it, bio-hydrogen—a clean vector, feedstock chemical fuel, widely recognised have role in decarbonisation future system. This paper investigates sustainable, low-energy intensive routes hydrogen production wastewater, critically...
Nanofluid has emerged as a promising heat transfer fluid (HTF) due to their significant thermophysical, and optical characteristics enhancement over base fluids. Hybrid nanofluids with multiple nanomaterials have the advantage of synergistic properties in comparison monocomponent nanofluids. The present study proposes an energy-efficient cleaner synthesis method for developing carbon quantum dot (C-dot), MXene, hybrid MXene/C-dot nanofluids, application. In-situ microwave pyrolysis technique...
This work investigated hydrogen production from biomass feedstocks (i.e., glucose, starch, lignin and cellulose) using a 100 mL h-type proton exchange membrane electrolysis cell. Biomass is promising process for production, although low in technology readiness level, but with series of recognised advantages: (i) lower-temperature conditions (compared to thermochemical processes), (ii) minimal energy consumption low-cost post-production, (iii) potential synthesise high-volume H2 (iv) smaller...
