Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system
Conference Proceeding
Worall, M., Omer, S., & Riffat, S. (2010). Design analysis of a hybrid jet-pump CO2 compression system.

Transport refrigeration contributes to anthropogenic global warming directly because of leakage of refrigerant, usually using high global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, and indirectly because of the greenhouse gases emitted in driving the vehi...

A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs
Conference Proceeding
Kokogiannakis, G., & Darkwa, J. A simulation-based framework for a mapping tool that assesses the energy performance of green roofs.

This paper presents a framework for the development of a GIS open source mapping tool that aims to disseminate a database with results of detailed simulations in order to assess in a quick and easy way the energy performance of green roof designs acr...

Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts)
Conference Proceeding
Jarman, D. (in press). Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts).

In this paper I am proposing that for a regional project designed by foreign entities to be truly successful the understanding of the culture of the key stakeholders needs to be two way. Not only does the designer need to learn and understand the rel... Read More about Do they have designs on us or for us? (or Beware of Greeks bearing gifts).

Experimental study of a membrane-based dehumidification cooling system
Conference Proceeding
Chen, Z., Bai, H., Ye, Z., & Zhu, J. (in press). Experimental study of a membrane-based dehumidification cooling system.

Membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification has attracted increasing interests with elimination of solution droplets carryover problem. A membrane-based hybrid liquid desiccant dehumidification cooling system is developed in this study, which ha...

Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter
Conference Proceeding
Twaha, S., Zhu, J., & Yan, Y. (in press). Power conditioning of thermoelectric generated power using dc-dc converters: a case study of a boost converter.

The near exhaustion of non-renewable energy resources such as fossil fuels followed by disastrous climatic changes have alerted the world to invest in alternative energy sources. Thermoelectric (TE) technology is responsible for innovating TE devices...
