Abstract: A flat-plate solar collector is conceived where energy cascades through thermoelectric power modules generating direct-current electricity. The intent of this work was to choose a collector ...

Abstract: Performance characteristics of a fiber optic pressure transducer are presented and discussed. The transducer consists of a cylindrical metal housing with a specular reflecting aluminum diaphragm ...

Abstract: A thermodynamic model is developed to analyze the thermal performance of two-phase solar collectors. The well-known equilibrium homogeneous theory is used to model the two-phase flow in the solar ...
