The need for hot water in residential buildings requires a significant energy potential.
Therefore, an efficient water heating system is important to achieve the goal of saving high …

Kalian cycle is a modified Rankine cycle for power generation, that its working fluid is a
mixture of ammonia-water instead of pure water and can be driven in higher temperatures …

This paper presents a new design of vacuum flat plate solar collector (VFPSC). This inspired
design is based on a combination of two conventional systems; the flat plate solar collector …

Thermal insulation performance and service life of vacuum insulation sandwiches depend
significantly on the internal residual gas pressure. Degradation of the vacuum can lead to a …

In this research, the effect of vacuum on the thermal efficiency of a heat pipe solar collector is
investigated. A comparative study of solar energy loss through different transparent covering …

This paper discusses the characterisation of micro-channel absorber plates for compact flat
plate solar thermal collectors, which are suitable for building integration. Experimental and …

Low efficiency of less than 0.6 and hot water discharge temperature limit of about 60 0C has
been the main obstacle in adoption of Flat Plate Solar Water Heaters (FPSWH) in solving …
