This work shows a sensitivity analysis of the economic impact of different energy performances of air-conditioning within the Mexican housing sector. For this purpose, a cooling-load calculator program in function of the indoor temperature is developed. The program also calculates the...

All modern hydro-kinetic turbines are being designed based on a lift, using airfoils, which should have a significant lift to drag ratio to achieve maximum efficiency.SG604X family airfoil has significant lift-to-drag ratio under an operating range of Re from 105-106, which also come under our...

This study investigates the performance of a refrigeration unit by applying a spray evaporative cooling system to an air-cooled chiller. Experiments are conducted in the temperate monsoon climate region by combining the spray evaporative cooling system with the air-cooled chiller. Moreover, this...

A prototype north wall insulated greenhouse dryer has been fabricated and tested in no-load conditions under natural convection mode. Experimentation has been conducted in two different cases. Case-I is when solar collector placed inside the dryer and Case-II is North wall insulated greenhouse...

This article presents a numerical study of an Evacuated Tube Collector (ETC) based Ammonia-Water absorption refrigeration system. This system utilizes solar energy as an energy source and does not depend on conventional energy sources for its operation. The present system involves the use of hot...

This paper deals with a review of the main research aspects concerning the formulation of the parameters indicating the characteristics and performance of thermoelectric cooling devices, with particular reference to a number of recent publications. The specific aspects addressed include some...

Solar space cooling is important in the countries of the Arabian Peninsula where nearly half of the total produced electricity is used for air conditioning of residential commercial and public buildings. In Kuwait, large proportion of funds were allocated for research in solar cooling...
