Introduction: Induction heating is the release of thermal energy within a body due to the resistance of that material to a current passing through it. This mechanism is also called Joule heating or Ohmic dissipation. Induction heating has been proposed as a process that could have caused metamorphism and melting in planetesimals in the early solar system [1]. Although other theories are more wi...

The potential for energy, carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e) and cost savings when using low emissivity (low-ε) transpired solar collectors (TSCs), combined with heat pumps in a range of configurations, has been investigated computer modelling. Low-ε TSCs consist metal collector plates spectrally sensitive surface, perforated holes. Ambient air is drawn through the holes heated by convection fr...

Modern lifestyle, industrialization and economy thrive on energy which is getting expensive overtime. Thermosyphon based systems are getting attraction for their promising heat transfer efficiency and zero energy utilization. Refrigerants having ozone depletion potential (ODP) and high Global Warming Potential (GWP) have been banned or under time bared permission under Montreal (1987) and Kyoto...

In this study, the multi-objective optimization of an indirect forced-circulation solar water heating (SWH) system was performed to obtain the optimal configuration that minimized the life cycle cost (LCC) and maximized the life cycle net energy saving (LCES). An elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) was employed to obtain the Pareto optimal solutions of the multi-objective ...
