    • An Investigation of Solar Chimney Power Plant Concept and Its Applicability for Different U.S. Climate Zones 
      Almarzooq, Yousef M. (2019-09-05)
      The Solar Chimney Power Plant (SCPP) concept was modeled, analyzed and applied to different locations (climate zones) throughout the U.S. The SCPP system includes three main components, namely the collector, the chimney ...
    • Carbon Dioxide: Threat or Opportunity? 
      McKinney, A. R. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1982)
      Over the past century, fossil fuel consumption has added carbon dioxide to the atmosphere at rapidly increasing rates. The prospect of further acceleration of this rate by turning from petroleum to coal has alarmed ...
    • Designing Zero Energy Building for TehranB37B36:B44M35B36 
      Mirkhani, N.; Sadoughi, S.; Eshraghi, J.; Narjabadi, N.; Nakhaei, A. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)
      In this paper, design of a zero energy building (ZEB), a case study for Tehran, in a moderately warm climate, for a typical single family has been introduced. It is important to develop solar energy resource potential in ...
    • An Integrated Approach to Water-Energy Nexus with Multiple Energy Sources 
      Al-Aboosi, Fadhil Yousuf Mohammed (2019-07-17)
      The sustainable development of the entire world is confronting considerable challenges due to the tremendous expansion in energy demand that synchronizes with fresh water scarcity, vast depletion of conventional energy ...
    • Novel Semi-Automatic Method to Optimize Multi-Lamp High Flux Solar Simulators 
      Ali, Arshad; Hafeez, Safeer; Hassan, Mohammed (2019-04-23)
      For multi-lamp high flux solar simulators (HFSS), it is often difficult to obtain a required flux distribution by manipulating the lamp position of multiple lamps at once. Each lamp has three degree of freedom. Thus manual ...
    • Photovoltaic Oven With Radiative Cooling System 
      Al-Khayarin, Fatima; Al-Romaihi, Hala; Hasna, Muath; Aly, Omar (2019-12-15)
    • Practical Solar Thermal Chilled Water 
      Leavell, B. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      With the pressing need for the United States to reduce our dependence upon fossil fuels, it has become a national priority to develop technologies that allow practical use of renewable energy sources. One such energy source ...
    • Proposal for an Adsorption Solar-Driven Air-Conditioning Unit for Public Offices 
      Elsamni, O. A.; Sahmarani, K.J.; Obied, F. K. (Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)
      A simple prototype air conditioning unit driven entirely by solar energy is proposed aiming at replacing the conventional vapor compression air conditioning systems which are reasonable for the global warming. The proposed ...
    • Recent Century Climate Change's Impact on East Asia Renewable Energy Resources 
      Li, Zonghui (2019-05-03)
      This research aims to identify the climate change and air pollution emissions impact on renewable energy resources, specifically for solar energy availability. We analyzed meteorological reanalysis data of solar radiation ...
