Considering the operating temperatures, there is a reasonable match between solar
concentrating collectors and some thermal-powered cooling technologies. Both current and …

Glycerol, which bears green, low-cost, and good miscibility features, provides a variety of
solvent portfolios to satisfy the complex market demands. Owing to its abundant feedstock …

This study presents a critical review of the major research and development work that has
advanced surface solar absorption technology and also discusses the applications of this …

The diffusion-absorption refrigerator (DAR) is a cooling technology that can be driven
entirely by thermal energy. With solar-thermal collectors as the heat source, this technology …

This study investigates the use of solar energy, one of the leading renewable energy
sources, to power a diffusion absorption refrigerator, thereby demonstrating the feasibility …

In this paper, we present a comparative study of two compound parabolic concentrators with
a concentric tube as absorber positioned longitudinally in the North-South and East-West …

From both environmental and energy-saving points of view, solar heating and cooling
systems have recently proven themselves in the commercial world as the environmentally …

Compound parabolic concentrators (CPC) have immense potential for middle-and-low
temperature heat collection of solar energy. In this study, the propagation process of solar …

In water-based experiments exploring ultralow or super low friction, the implementation of a
running-in period before reaching such states is necessary and important. However, the …

A two-stage line-axis solar concentrator composed of parabolic and involute reflectors with
tubular absorber, have been designed and experimentally analyzed for thermal …
