In this short communication, we discuss the energy consumption trends in the Malaysian road transport sector, with a special emphasis on the energy losses due to vehicle aerodynamic drag on highways. The recent trends of energy consumption in the Malaysian road transport sector are reviewed. It...

This paper presents an innovative correlation associating the effectiveness (ε) of the cooling tower with its number of transfer unit (NTU) and vice versa. The new correlations can be used simply to predict the performance of wet counterflow cooling tower. Those correlations are based on...

This paper investigates thermal performance of a new design of minichannel-based solar flat-plate collector. The solar collector consists of an array of minichannels located in the absorber plate which is covered by single glass cover. Water was used as the working fluid. A numerical model was...
