Hybrid Numerical–Artificial Neural Network Study of Chemically Reactive MHD Nanofluid Flow Incorporating Thompson–Troian Slip and Stefan Blowing
Abstract: Boundary layer behaviour in chemically reactive nanoliquid is significantly affected by surface conditions, magnetic fields, heat and mas transfer mechanisms. However, the combined impact of Stefan blowing and nonlinear Thompson–Troian slip under inclined magnetic fields remains mostly unexplored, particularly in mixed convection flows. In this research work, the flow of a chemically reactive nanoliquid over a permeable surface is investigated by considering the Troian slip, inclined magnetic fields, Stefan blowing, …

Continuous Commissioning Techniques for Ground Source Heat Pumps: Review
Abstract: This study offers a model-based continuous commissioning methodology to find control-related performance gaps in HVAC systems with ground-source heat pumps. Traditional continuous commissioning is still helpful in finding energy performance gaps, even if MBCCx employs a system model as a reference to find operational inefficiencies and control issues arising from subsystem integration. A calibrated physics-based model that depicts the system performance as intended during the design phase forms the basis …
