The application of ecological exergy as a suitable system-oriented development indicator of ecosystems and the estimation proposals from biomass are revised. DNA contents (C-values) of several groups of organisms are figured, either determined by flow cytometry or taken from literature. The applicability of DNA contents for determination of weighing factors to estimate ecological exergy from th...

Optical fi bressolar energy transmission and concentration provide a fl exible way of handling concentrated solar energy. Solar lighting with Fibre Optic Bundles (FOBs) can be considered a promising option for energy-effi cient green buildings. This study deals with the exergetic analysis and performance assessment of a system based on the idea of Transmission-Concentrated Solar Energy via Opti...

Electrifying transportation is a promising approach to alleviate climate change issues arising from increased emissions. This study examines a system for the production of hydrogen using renewable energy sources as well as its use in buses. The electricity requirements for the production of hydrogen through the electrolysis of water, are covered by renewable energy sources. Fuel cells are being...

An Exergy method for theoretical analysis of a traditional vapour-compression refrigeration system equipped with liquid vapour heat exchanger (lvhe) for HFO-1234yf (2, 3, 3, 3-Tetrafluoropropene) and HFO-1234ze (trans-1, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene), both ultra low Global Warming Potential(GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential(ODP) refrigerants and comparison of the results with HFC-134a re...
