Comparative life cycle assessment of renewable energy systems for heating and cooling

Life Cycle Exergy Analysis of Renewable Energy Systems

Exergy concepts and exergy based methods offer an insight to the understanding of sustainable energy engineering. The utilization of energy and other resources by applying physical concept as exergy and exergy based methods and the value of these tools in the design are presented, in particular Life Cycle Exergy Analysis (LCEA). LCEA is applied to a typical wind power plant. This brings a new a...

diagnostic and developmental potentials of dynamic assessment for writing skill

این پایان نامه بدنبال بررسی کاربرد ارزیابی مستمر در یک محیط یادگیری زبان دوم از طریق طرح چهار سوال تحقیق زیر بود: (1) درک توانایی های فراگیران زمانیکه که از طریق برآورد عملکرد مستقل آنها امکان پذیر نباشد اما در طول جلسات ارزیابی مستمر مشخص شوند; (2) امکان تقویت توانایی های فراگیران از طریق ارزیابی مستمر; (3) سودمندی ارزیابی مستمر در هدایت آموزش فردی به سمتی که به منطقه ی تقریبی رشد افراد حساس ا...

Environmental life cycle assessment of seawater reverse osmosis desalination plant powered by renewable energy

This paper evaluates life cycle Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of a Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant and assesses its performance under three power supply scenarios. A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis is conducted for a plant located in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Input and output flows of SWRO plant are based on literature and Perth desalination plants. The Simapro Aus...

Comparative performance assessment of flat plate and evacuated tube collectors for domestic water heating systems in Kerman, Iran

This study represents a year-round energy performance of two solar water heating (SWH) systems with a 4m2 flat plate collector (FPC) and an evacuated tube collector (ETC) operating under the same weather conditions. The energy performance of the two considered systems was compared on a monthly and yearly basis. The obtained results showed that for an annual total solar insolation of ...
