In the present study, thermo-economic analysis of a combined solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with a gas turbine, a generator-absorber heat exchanger (GAX) and heating process heat exchanger for heating, cooling and power production as a tri-generation system is conducted. Also, an external steam reformer is applied to convert methanol as oxygenated fuel to hydrogen for the electrochemical process ...

This paper presents a hierarchical control strategy for heat and electric power control of a building integrating hybrid renewable power sources including photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery energy storage with Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) in smart distribution systems. Because of the controllability of fuel cell power, this power sources plays the main role for providing heat and electric p...

By increase in the power of computer systems and enhanced power of the components and their temperature, including the central processing unit (CPU), cooling just by the air is not effective and there is need for more powerful systems to cool down and increase the power of the cooling system. In this article simulation of the heat exchanger material of the fluid cooling system has been studied ...

This is Part 2 of the paper “Performance analysis of combined humidified gas turbine power generation and multieffect thermal vapor compression desalination systems — Part 1: The desalination unit and its combination with a steam-injected gas turbine power system”. A combined power and water system based on the evaporative gas turbine (EvGT) is studied, and major features such as the fuel savin...

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First and foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisor Mr. been possible without his guidance, support and encouragement. Under his guidance I successfully overcame many difficulties and learned a lot. He used to review my dissertation progress, gave his valuable suggestions and made corrections. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor...
