In recent years, exergy analysis has been widely used design, simulation, performance assessment of various thermal systems. Energy and exergy analyses of an olive oil refinery plant with a production capacity of 6250 kg/h were performed based on actual operational data in this thesis. The values for exergy destruction and efficiency were calculated for each [...]

The last generation photovoltaic devices aim to tackle the losses associated with the non absorption of below band gap photons and the thermalisation of above band gap photons to the band edges. In this thesis, numerical analysis were carried out on the new intermediate band solar cell (IBSC) that absorbs the sub-band gap photons through [...]

Due to short circuits, unsymmetrical or symmetrical faults may investigate in two parts in energy transmission lines. Three-phase faults are named symmetrical, single phase-ground, phase-phase and double phase-ground faults are called unsymmetrical. Method of symmetrical components is one of developed methods for analyzing of symmetrical or unsymmetrical faults. In this study, symmetrical components method was [...]

A typical 250 l cooler type refrigerator is analyzed based on experimental data by employing the first and second laws of thermodynamics at steady state in order to quantify the location of loses on component-level and to determine the efficiency potential of each component. The refrigerator is equipped with data acquisition to measure temperature, pressure, [...]
