A solar adsorber with glass tube insulation used in a solar adsorption cooling system is proposed and investigated. The adsorber is a metal tube packed with activated carbon methanol pair surrounded by a vacuum tube glazing. A mathematical model, which accounts for the heat and mass transfer of...

Coalbed methane (CBM) is a kind of unconventional natural gas. China has abundant CBM resource and its CBM industry is expected to prosper in the future. However, China’s currently imperfect CBM industry policy still needs to be further improved to support the sustainable development of CBM...

Liquid-desiccant dehumidification has been proved to be an effective method to extract the moisture of air with relatively less energy consumption, especially compared with conventional vapour compression system. To date, the conventional dehumidification mode with desiccant solution has been...
