This paper explores the performance characteristics of a split reaction water turbine. The governing equations are derived by using the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy for a practical case, which includes consideration of frictional losses. The optimum diameter for a...

This paper is aimed at exploring the performance characteristics of a simple reaction hydro turbine for power generation. Using principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy, the governing equations have been identified for an ideal case of no frictional losses. The paper also...

The problem of the development of the salt concentration profiles in a solar pond is investigated. Three different types of boundary conditions are considered and exact solutions for the salt concentrations as functions of space and time are obtained and discussed. The effect of wind velocity...

Geothermal energy is becoming an attractive option for supplying the world with clean and sustainable energy. One of the highlighted issues in utilising the energy from geothermal systems is removal of non-condensable gases (NCGs) from geothermal waters. This paper discusses and reviews existing...
