High consumption of electricity represents an economic and social problem in warm places, caused by the massive use cooling machines. Absorption systems are a sustainable method for air conditioning applications. However, environmental conditions should be analyzed to avoid crystallization problems working mixture. This article presents thermal analysis solar absorption system dynamic using NH3-H2O, H2O-LiBr, NH3-NaSCN, NH3-LiNO3, H2O-LiCl mixtures Equation Engineering Solver (EES) TRaNsient...

The growing energy consumption of the different sectors population can cause socioeconomic inequalities such as poverty. Recent studies indicate that this type poverty occurs in households spend 10% or more their economic income to pay for service because use patterns its cost. In Mexico, structure electricity tariff housing sector causes poorest decile up 23% during months beginning end summer. This research proposes a mathematical model modify way which these rates are applied Mexican...

Here we use finite element analysis to determine the suitability of basalt fiber as a substitute for E-glass in structural applications, which would improve cost effectiveness small wind turbine blades. Five NACA (National Advisory Committee Aeronautics) profiles were evaluated select optimum shape operation conditions. To obtain load pressure distribution over blade, computational aerodynamic by CFD (computational fluid dynamics) was performed based on blade’s design and operating Material...

The environmental impact caused by the intensive exploitation of fossil fuels to generate heat and electricity has already reached a critical level. Also, as industrial sector is largest energy consumer, mainly in form heat, it then become compulsive implement use renewable solar processes, such those found food processing beverages industries, which do not require high temperatures. Consequently, this study examines viability supplying hot water at 80 °C saturated steam 160 medium-sized...
