Consistency of performance indicators and simulation results in solar water heating studies: A comparison of RETScreen, TSOL and TRNSYS

Results in Engineering
Solar water heating simulations are widely used for feasibility assessment, system design, and optimisation. However, the reproducibility of such simulations and the consistency of reported performance indicators have received limited attention.

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF NUCLEATE BOILING FLOW IN A PILOT-SCALE THERMOSIPHON [PDF]

, 2019
Thermosiphons, or natural circulation loops, are circuits in which a flow pattern is driven by buoyancy forces originated from density differences, a consequence of temperature gradient.
