Enhancing the sustainability and diversification of Iraq’s electricity system is a strategic objective. Achieving this goal depends critically on increasing use renewable energy sources (RESs). The significance developing solar-powered technologies becomes essential at point. Iraq, similar to other places with high average direct normal irradiation, good location for concentrated solar thermal ...

Incorporation of ecological considerations in decision-making is essential for sustainable development, but is hindered by inadequate appreciation of the role of ecosystems, and lack of scientifically rigorous techniques for including their contribution. This paper develops a novel thermodynamic accounting framework for including the contribution of natural capital via thermodynamic input-outpu...

In this paper, we have continued doing a research project which had done previously. Three types of power plants include an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC), a Dual-Fluid-Hybrid (DFH) and a single-fluid hybrid-fueled (HYB); were re-modeled. After model validation, thermodynamic studies and exergy analysis were extended for the defined cases using the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Then the...

This study presents a thermal and economic performance analysis of a LT-MEE (low-temperature multieffect evaporation) water desalination system coupled with an LiBreH2O ABHP (absorption heat pump). A 60e78% water production increase over a stand-alone LT-MEE run at the same heat source conditions can be obtained owing to the coupling. A detailed thermodynamic sensitivity analysis of the ABHP-ME...
