Energetics of Radiatively Heated Ice-Covered Lakes

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

We derive the mechanical energy budget for shallow, ice-covered lakes energized by penetrative solar radiation. Radiation increases the available and background components of the potential energy at different rates. Available potential energy drives under- ...

Water-energy nexus approach to compare performance of evaporative and vapor-compression cooling systems

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

Evaporative cooling systems consume high water, but low electricity for their operation. On the other hand, vapor compression systems consume no water, but high electricity. Water and energy systems are interconnected at different levels. Therefore, water ...
