This study aims to enhance the energy efficiency and environmental performance of geothermal heat pump (GHP) systems by integrating aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃)-based nanofluids within the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a residential building. Using TRNSYS 18 for dynamic simulation, a two-story h...
Residential water heating constitutes a significant share of household energy consumption, yet the performance of conventional solar water heating (SWH) systems is limited by the low thermal conductivity of water. This study presents a techno-economic and environmental assessment of nanofluid-enhanced flat-plate SWH sy...
