In the developed triple-pressure-level (TPL) single stage absorption cycle, a specially designed jet ejector was introduced at the absorber inlet. The device served two major functions: it facilitated pressure recovery and improved the mixing between the weak solution and the refrigerant vapour...

We present a model for pricing and hedging derivative securities and option portfolios in an environment where the volatility is not known precisely, but is assumed instead to lie between two extreme values σminand σmax. These bounds could be inferred from extreme values of the implied...

The performance of an advanced triple-pressure level (TPL) single-stage absorption cycle with refrigerant R125 and various organic absorbents were studied. In the developed TPL cycle, a jet ejector of a special design is added at the absorber inlet. The device serves two major functions: it...

An experimental study of flow boiling of binary organic solution was conducted in a horizontal tube. An organic mixture of miscible fluids, chlorodifluoromethane (R22)–dimethylacetamide (DMAC) was circulated through the experimental system. The influence of the heat source, flow rate,...

We analyze the evolution of intercountry income inequality and its decomposition between and within four geographical clusters and their fifteen regions from 1960 to 1990 by applying the income-weighted entropy measure. Our analysis assesses the contribution of income inequality within and...

By applying the Theil index of income inequality and its decomposition between and within groups to income data adjusted for purchasing power parity on 115 countries between 1960 and 1985, we find that the worldwide level of intercountry income inequality declined steadily by 0.584% per annum,...
