Presently, solar energy conversion is widely used to generate heat and produce electricity. A
comparative study on the world energy consumption released by International Energy …

Phase change material (PCM), stores and releases heat at a particular required temperature
as it undergoes phase change at that temperature. Because of their large latent heat and …

The escalating growth in the traditional air-conditioning industry has led to an increased
demand for energy. However, this industry has the drawbacks of high energy consumption …

The use of solar energy in recent years has reached a remarkable edge. The continuous
research for an alternative power source due to the perceived scarcity of fuel fossils is its …

Energy storage has become an important part in renewable energy technology systems.
Solar thermal systems, unlike photovoltaic systems with striving efficiencies, are industrially …

The energy demand for cooling and air conditioning systems is increasing worldwide,
especially in regions with high solar radiation intensity. One of the reasons for this is the …

Sorption is used for absorption/adsorption heat pumps (sorption refrigeration) and sorption
