Phase change material (PCM)-based thermal energy storage (TES) can provide and cost savings peak demand reduction benefits for grid-interactive residential buildings. Researchers established that these vary greatly depending on the PCM phase temperature (PCT), total TES capacity, system configuration location climate of building. In this study, preliminary techno-economic performance is reporte...

Statistical cooling is a new combinatorial optimization technique based on Monte-Carlo iterative improvement. The method originates from the analogy between the annealing of a solid as described by the theory of statistical physics and the optimization of a system with many degrees of freedom. In the present paper we present a general theoretical framework for the description of the statistical...

In this paper, exergy of conditioned air, exergy efficiency, irreversibility, and entropy generation of common models of evaporative cooling have been investigated in five cities of Iran. Direct evaporative cooling (DEC), indirect evaporative cooling (IEC), and two-stage IEC/DEC as the most popular methods of cooling have been modeled. Atmospheric conditions are considered as the dead state of ...
