The research goal was to develop a new solar water heater system (SWHS) that used a solar water pump instead of an electric pump. The pump was powered by the steam produced from a flat plate collector. Therefore, heat could be transferred downward from the collector to a hot water storage tank....

In this paper, the performance enhancement of the two-phase ejector installed into the refrigeration system called an ejector-expansion refrigeration system (EERS) is investigated experimentally. A comparative performance of an ejector expansion refrigeration system (EERS) with a conventional...

Fuel consumption of vehicles is one of the most vigorously debated issues in Thailand. Concerns about the effect of emissions from the vehicles and a significant reliance on imported oil provide legitimate reasons for government action to manage fuel consumption. There are several different...

Statistics have confirmed that a lawn placed on a roof top can reduce the cooling load. In this study, the VISUAL DOE 4.0 energy simulation program was used to determine the effects of roof lawn gardens (RLG) on the annual energy required for cooling, and annual electrical usage in an...

This article presented an indoor experiment on developing a mathematical model for predicting the productivity of an ethanol solar still of basin type. The test still contained a horizontal evaporating surface and a condensing surface inclined 14° to a horizontal. Various concentrations of...
