Sustainable Thermal Solutions: Enhancing Heat Transfer with Turbulators and Nanofluids

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2025.
Nanofluids, which are nanoparticle suspensions in base fluid, facilitate heat transmission due to their improved thermal conductivity. Turbulators, which are inserts into fluid flow channels, disturb the flow, increasing turbulence and hence the heat transfer rate.

The Impact of Phase Change Materials on Electricity Consumption in Prefabricated Temporary Houses

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 5, Page 2352-2363, May 2025.
The effectiveness of phase change material (PCM) integration was evaluated over a 1‐month period under winter climate conditions, with electricity consumption serving as the primary metric. According to the results, the incorporation of PCMs led to a reduction in average electricity consumption by 16%, weighted average electricity consumption by 16.2%,

Effect of Wall, Roof, and Window‐to‐Wall Ratio on the Cooling and Heating Load of a Building in India

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 13, Issue 3, Page 1255-1279, March 2025.
ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of various combinations of walls, roofs, and window‐to‐wall ratios (WWRs) on the cooling and heating loads of residential buildings in India's composite climatic zone. Utilizing EnergyPlus and eQuest simulations, the thermal performance of three building types is analyzed across 32 cases involving two types of ...
