Printed circuit heat exchangers (PCHEs) are a promising technology for helium and
supercritical CO 2 Brayton cycles due to their highly compact construction, very high heat …

There is an acknowledged growing need for efficient and sustainable systems that use
available energy resources in an “optimal”(including constraints) way. Such a goal cannot …

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a process that converts biomass into versatile
hydrochar without the need for prior drying. The physicochemical properties of hydrochar …

Multi-population algorithms have been widely used for solving the real-world problems.
However, it is not easy to get the number of sub-populations to be used for a given problem …

Teaching-learning-based optimization (TLBO) is a recently developed heuristic algorithm
based on the natural phenomenon of teaching-learning process. In the present work, a …

Water-based ternary hybrid nanofluid with various shape nanoparticles, ie, spherical (Al 2 O
3), cylindrical (CNT), and platelet (Graphene) as a new radiator coolant has been …

This paper proposes a novel metaheuristic optimizer based on the hunt behavior of falcons
called Falcon Optimization Algorithm (FOA). FOA is a robust and powerful stochastic …

Micro gas turbines are a promising technology for distributed power generation because of
their compact size, low emissions, low maintenance, low noise, high reliability and multi-fuel …

Nano fluids are widely used today for various energy-related applications such as coolants,
refrigerants, and fuel additives. New coolants and design modifications are being explored …

In the present paper, a plate and fin heat exchanger is considered and air, as an ideal gas,
is defined in both sides of the heat exchanger as the working fluid. Several geometric …
