The high density of water has been an important factor for harnessing kinetic energy from marine current flows, tides, flowing rivers, or other artificial water channels. Thus, new technologies are being developed to generate electricity. A good example is HKES (hydrokinetic energy systems),...

A method for calculating the thermosyphonic flow rate in the single and multipass systems of pressurized and non-pressurized type is presented. The experiments were conducted over several days on various systems fabricated and tested at T.I.E.T. Patiala, India. Close agreement between the...
