Gradient‐Based Optimization Modeling of Total Entropy and Heat Transfer in Exothermic Blood Analog Gold Nanoparticle Suspension

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study develops a gradient‐based multi‐start Nelder–Mead optimization framework for Casson‐micropolar blood‐analog nanofluid flow with gold nanoparticles in a convectively heated, exothermic microchannel, motivated by photothermal drug delivery. Spectral collocation solves coupled momentum, microrotation, and energy equations, from which entropy ...

Selecting Between Hydrogen and Methanol for Fuel Cell‐Organic Rankine Cycle Hybrid Power Systems: A Comparative 4E Analysis

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4248-4260, September 2026.
A 4E comparison of PEMFC‐ORC and DMFC‐ORC systems shows that PEMFC‐ORC achieves 21% higher energy efficiency, while DMFC‐ORC obtains 31% higher exergy efficiency and 57% lower levelized cost of electricity. However, DMFC‐ORC emits nearly twice the annual carbon dioxide equivalent of PEMFC‐ORC.

Extended Exergy Analysis of the Nova Scotian Economy 2006

open access: yes, 2011
Human societies may be modeled as very large complex systems involving multiple flows of energy and materials between different sectors. Traditional exergy analysis methods are inadequate for the analysis of such systems because they do not take non ...

Techno‐Economic Analysis and Multi‐Objective Optimization of a Novel Combined Cooling and Power System Driven by Geothermal Source and Waste Heat From Data Center

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4300-4315, September 2026.
A novel combined cooling and power generation system is proposed by integrating organic Rankine cycle (ORC) with an absorption heat transformer, which is driven by combining geothermal energy and data center's waste heat. The system using R601a yielded the best overall performance, achieving an exergy efficiency of 40.34% and an annual cost of 130.29 k$

Exergy and cumulative exergy use analysis

open access: yes, 2016
Exergy is a thermodynamic metric that represents the amount of useful energy one can obtain out of an object in a given reference environment. The exergy concept is used in several applications: from the analysis of industrial processes to economic, sustainability and ecosystem analysis.

Influence of Structural and Environmental Parameters on Solar Air Collector Performance

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 9, Page 4409-4421, September 2026.
Increasing air gap depth and mass flow rate significantly enhances the thermal performance of solar air collectors, with optimal performance achieved at an 8.5 cm air gap and 0.01318 kg/s mass flow rate. Air gap depth is identified as the dominant factor influencing system efficiency.
