An in-site observation station for soils around the ground heat exchanger (GHE) in the operating process of ground source heat pump (GSHP) is installed to monitor the operation performance of GSHP as well as heat and moi...

This paper focuses on control systems for hybrid heat pumps that utilize the heat from return heat-ing water and outdoor air, designed to operate in district heating systems based on central heating plants. The aim of th...

This thesis presents the development and simulation of a modular physically based thermal model of a building and a reversible R290 (propane) air-to-water heat pump, implemented in MATLAB/Simulink and Simscape. The work ...

Tesis Energía y Ambiente (maestría) - Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires - Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, 2023 "This master thesis is a feasibility study of the use of geothermal ene...

Esta tesis de maestría es un estudio de factibilidad del uso de energía geotérmica, en viviendas tipo de un desarrollo urbano de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. El calor geotérmico a temperatura constante disponibl...

Tesis Energía y Ambiente (maestría) - Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires - Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, 2025 "In the present work different models of heat pumps are studied in orde...

the Biotic Pump Theory, as set forward by Drs. Makarieva and Gorshkov, states that the primary force driving surface winds, certainly in the tropics, is induced by the negative changes in atmospheric pressure caused by c...

Cucurbits include a genetically diverse group of plants and one of the most important and large groups of vegetables growing worldwide, including cucumber, squash, gourd, pumpkin, melon and watermelon. The book of the X...

Against the backdrop of the "dual carbon" goals， in this study we aimed to achieve efficient recovery and reuse of low-grade waste heat generated by high-voltage direct current （HVDC） converter valves. Using R515b ...

Geothermal energy pile is the new pile technology that combines the ground source heat pump technology and building pile foundation. Due to the pile as the heat transfer carrier of ground source heat pumps, the bearing c...

Abstract Background The residential building sector is a major contributor to Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions. Over 60 % of the energy used for space and domestic hot water heating comes from fossil fuels sources a...

Abstract Background The residential sector releases around 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions and making residential buildings more energy efficient can help mitigate climate change. Engineering models are often used...

Thermoelectric materials are solid-state energy converters whose combination of thermal, electrical, and semiconducting properties allows them to be used to convert waste heat into electricity or electrical power directl...

This work aims to analyse the use of low enthalpy geothermal heat in Bahía Blanca by evaluating different alternatives when using it in a specific project. In Bahía Blanca, Argentina, several boreholes with geothermal ...

With the shift towards a more sustainable energy system, the need for a better understanding of the behavior development over time of consumers and prosumers arises. Despite the growing penetration of smart meter infrast...

Abstract The tribological properties of cylinder block/valve plate is an important consideration in the design of axial piston pump. The effect of materials and heat treatment on friction and wear properties has been stu...

Optical heating of resonant nanostructures is one of the key issues in modern nanophotonics, being either harmful or desirable effect depending on the applications. Despite a linear regime of light-to-heat conversion bei...

In chilling and/or freezing of foods by hydrofluidization (HF), the liquid refrigerant is pumped through orifices or nozzles, creating agitating jets. The objectives of this work were to design and build a HF system of p...

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate performance, hematological parameters, leukocyte counts, and respiratory microbiota of broilers under heat stress receiving eucalyptus oil supplementation. Cobb broile...

Plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) are exploited to concentrate light, provide local heating and enhance drug release when coupled to smart polymers. However, the role of NP assembling in these processes is poorly investigate...
