Energy and exergy analysis of a solar–assisted heat pump space heating system for clear days
The studies over solar–assisted heat pump systems have been performed mostly on time periods when solar radiation is high. Therefore, this study focuses on performance analysis of a solar–assisted heat pump system which stores the energy during the clear day and uses it as a heat source of heat pump space heating system during the night. Energy and exergy analyses divided into two parts, which ...

Environmental thermodynamic limitations on global human population
This paper examines, from a thermodynamic point of view, how many people the Earth can support. The maximum human population allowed by the natural earth ranges from 300 million millions to 1,700 million millions and will not exceed 1,300 million millions if an ambient temperature of 300 K is accepted. A further increase in population number is obtained for macro-engineered earth when heat pumps ...

From Climate Crisis to a Clean Economy: A Vision for a New World by 2030
Looking for a little inspiration? Me, too. We’ve all heard the statistics. One million species worldwide are currently at risk of extinction. Over 5 trillion pieces of plastic are polluting our oceans. The day the Arctic fully melts may happen within our lifetimes. And perhaps most shockingly, the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tells us that we have a ...
