Abstract: Natural convection heat transfer was investigated in a scaled test facility of a Trombe wall geometry. A silicone oil was employed as the convecting medium to obtain large Rayleigh numbers (up ...

Abstract: An analytical solution is presented for the effect of air (nonabsorbable gas) on the heat and mass transfer rates during the absorption of water vapor (absorbate) by a falling laminar film ...

Abstract: Both LiCl and LiBr solutions were considered for potential use in a solar-driven Open-Cycle Absorption Refrigeration (OCAR) system. A vertical falling film absorber was proposed and built to ...

Abstract: Open-cycle absorption air conditioning is a promising type of solar-driven cooling system. It addresses, in a significant way, the problems of high solar collector costs and power requirements ...

Abstract: Laminar mixed convection heat transfer across five in-line microchipsized heaters, surface mounted on printed circuit board (PCB), was investigated by the weighted residual finite element method. ...
