Adsorption properties of a natural zeolite–water pair for use in adsorption cooling cycles
TL;DR: In this paper, the Dubinin-Astakhov adsorption equilibrium model was fitted to experimental data with an acceptable error limit, and the isosteric heat of water on zeolite has been calculated using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation as a function of the adorption capacity.

Technoeconomic and exergy analysis of a solar geothermal hybrid electric power plant using a novel combined cycle
TL;DR: In this paper, a novel solar geothermal hybrid electric power plant (SGHEPP) based on the hybridization of an existing binary Geothermal Electric Power Plant by adding a solar-powered steam-Rankine topping cycle is proposed.

Experimental investigation of a natural zeolite–water adsorption cooling unit
TL;DR: In this article, a thermally driven adsorption cooling unit using natural zeolite water as the adsorbent-refrigerant pair has been built and its performance investigated experimentally at various evaporator temperatures.

A two-energy equation model for dynamic heat and mass transfer in an adsorbent bed using silica gel/water pair
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the adsorbent bed dimensions, convective heat transfer coefficient between cooling fluid and adsorent bed and the thermal conductivity of the solid adsorption material on the transient distributions of the gas phase temperature difference, differences in the adsorate concentration predicted by the instantaneous equilibrium and linear driving force (LDF) models, solid phase temperature, gas pressure and adsorbate concentration inside the ad-bed of a solid-sorption cooling system have been investigated numerically for a nearly isobaric ad-ption process.

Numerical investigation of coupled heat and mass transfer inside the adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of several design parameters on the transient distributions of temperature, pressure and amount adsorbed in the radial direction of a cylindrical adsorbent bed of an adsorption cooling unit using silica gel/water have been investigated numerically.
