Mehmet Kanoglu

Mehmet Kanoglu is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University. His research develops thermodynamic models for geothermal energy applications, hydrogen production/liquefaction, and renewable energy integration. He authored textbooks on thermodynamics and energy efficiency used globally.

Key research themes:

• Geothermal-assisted hydrogen liquefaction
• Exergoeconomic optimization of cogeneration
• Hybrid solar-geothermal systems
• Cryogenic energy storage

Recent publications focus on multigeneration system design, entropy function development for ideal gases, and geothermal-based cooling cogeneration. Research employs exergy analysis, cost optimization, and comparative case studies across 120+ publications.

Textbook contributions include McGraw-Hill's Thermodynamics: An Engineering Approach and Fundamentals of Renewable Energy used in 40+ countries. Teaches thermodynamics, heat transfer, and energy systems courses.
