The aim of this paper is to determine the optimal design temperatures and pressures of a simple LiBr/water absorption cycle. To achieve this goal, a computer program, based on the characteristics of lithium bromide water combinations, has been designed. The output results were the generator...

The traditional definition of the coefficient of performance (COP) can create misleading results because this definition does not define the heat input base to be used for estimating the COP. Furthermore, such one-dimensional definitions do not consider other important factors which may affect...

The absorption system is one of the most suitable techniques for utilising solar energy for air-conditioning purposes. Although it uses solar energy directly with minimum conversion, it consumes considerable quantities of water for the cooling tower. This is a serious disadvantage where solar...
