We show how the thermal losses within and outside a solar distillation unit vary with water depth in the basin of a passive solar still. The latent heat of vaporisation has been used for distillation under both passive and active modes of operation. The flow rate of the water mass over the glass...

We analyse the performance of a flat-plate collector with a constant rate of evaporation of flowing water between a glass cover and an absorbing plate. The effects of fluid-flow velocity, depth of fluid and length of the absorbing surface are discussed. We have allowed for periodic variation of...

This paper features an analysis of volatility spillover effects from the US market, represented by the S&P500 index to the Australian capital market as represented by the Australian S&P200 for a period running from 12th September 2002 to 9th September 2012. This captures the impact of the Global...
