Presentation / Conference Contribution
Robson, A., & Grassie, T. (2005). Development of a computer model to simulate a low temperature differential Ringbom stirling engine. In Proceedings of the 12th International Stirling Engine Conference and Technology Exhibition (350-357)

The Stirling cycle engine of 1816 and subsequent closed cycle regenerative heat engines have been the subject of many analyses. The complex nature of the mechanical, fluid, and thermal processes within the engine makes an accurate analysis challengi...

Heat transfer: a problem solving approach. (2003)
Book
Muneer, T., Kubie, J., & Grassie, T. (2003). Heat transfer: a problem solving approach. Taylor & Francis

A core task of engineers is to analyse energy related problems. The analytical treatment is usually based on principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer, but is increasingly being handled computationally. The book emphasizes how...

Design of a PV driven low flow solar domestic hot water system and modeling of the system collector outlet temperature (2002)
Journal Article
Grassie, T., MacGregor, K., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2002). Design of a PV driven low flow solar domestic hot water system and modeling of the system collector outlet temperature. Energy Conversion and Management, 43(8), 1063-1078. https://doi.org/10.1016

The system under consideration comprises a new freeze tolerant flat plate collector connected directly to a domestic hot water storage tank. Water is circulated by means of a small 12 V DC pump, driven directly by a PV module. It is desired that the...
