As a liquid piston heat engine, Minto engine converts low-grade heat energy into mechanical energy. In this paper, the basic equation of thermal efficiency of Minto engine is modified. And a new design is proposed to improve the original Minto engine. With the modified equation, 9 different materials are chosen to estimate the two kinds of Minto engine. Simulation results show that the thermal efficiency...
A type of ventilated photovoltaic (PV) double-glass window was reported by this paper, which could save energy through the reduction in air conditioning load and generate electric power. Otherwise, it could depress the temperature of PV module, provide comfortable visual and thermal environment and operate as a pre-heating device in winter. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was applied to evaluate...
