today, due to qualitative growth and scientific advances, energy, especially electricity is increasingly needed by human society. one of the almost endless and pure energy which have been paid attention over the years is the solar energy. solar cells directly convert solar energy into electrical energy and are one of the main blocks of photovoltaic systems. significant improvement has been made...

Performance data obtained from measurements of process variables usually do not obey material and energy conservation laws. This is why a data reconciliation process, that is, the adjustment of measured data to obey the conservation laws and other constraints is necessary in order to characterize the real performance of equipment, processes, or the whole plant. The information on the partial lo...

Yogurt production at the farm level is important for adding value to milk. In this study, a solar-assisted yogurt processing unit capable of performing three processes heating, fermentation, and cooling in single was developed. It consisted circular chamber surrounded by coil heating solar vacuum tube collector pillow plate PV-powered chiller unit. Experiments were performed using 50, 40 30 L r...

The current study aimed at delving into the thermodynamic of a trigeneration cycle based on biomass fuel, combined with an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) and absorption chiller. Biomass fuel is purely produced from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Energy exergy analyses were carried out using solar collector employing optimized characteristics to provide required thermal energy ideal condition utilizi...

Due to the merits of energy saving and environmental protection, the absorption chiller (AC) has attracted a lot of attention, and previous studies only concentrated on the dynamic response of the AC under a single working condition. However, the working conditions are usually variable, and the dynamic performance under different working conditions is beneficial for the adjustment of AC and the...

A study was conducted to determine the effects of treating and reusing poultry chiller water in a commercial poultry processing facility. Broiler carcasses and chiller water were obtained from a commercial processing facility which had recently installed a TOMCO Pathogen Management System to recycle water in sections 2 and 3 of two 3-compartment chillers. In this system, reused water is blended...
