In this study, an innovative design of hydro-electricity system was applied to an unconventional site in an attempt to generate electricity from the exhaust cooling water of a coal-fired power plant. Inspired by the idea of micro hydro, present study can be considered new in three aspects:...

This paper aims to present a parametric study to compare with the experimental results obtained previously for a typical activated carbon–methanol, adsorption air-conditioning system powered by exhaust heat. The main objective is to study the effect of wall thickness on the desorption...

The objectives of the present work are of two-folds. First, it evaluates the transient temperature performance of the H2O-NH3-H2 absorption cooling machine system's components under two types of energy sources, i.e. the conventional electric energy from grid (electric) and fuel energy from...

Refrigeration and air-conditioning technology are required to evolve in accordance to Montreal Protocol adopted in 1987 and Kyoto Protocol in 1997. This regulation concerns about the climate change in an attempt to phase-out chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), followed by hydro-chlorofluorocarbons...
