Abstract:Energy requirements for cooling systems are growing every year, especially in regions with significant solar radiation intensity. This increase causes big electricity consumption and environmental pollution. Hence, using solar energy as a heat source instead electricity for cooling needs is considered as a promising way. In this study, a transient Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation is carried out to investigate the performance of solar Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) powered adsorption refrigeratio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
