TL;DR: In this article, the authors review some recent developments in thermodynamic cycles as well as new and innovative thermal power cycles applicable to solar thermal power and present a new thermal power cycle for solar thermal energy.

TL;DR: In this article, an innovative technique to encapsulate PCMs that melt in the 120-350°C temperature range is presented, which does not require a sacrificial layer to accommodate the volumetric expansion of the PCMs on melting.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method for disinfecting an air stream containing microorganisms, including the steps of providing a clean air stream consisting of microorganisms having a relative humidity greater than 40 %, and contacting the air stream with a photocatalyst having a predetermined band gap energy coated on the upstream surface of a filter medium capable of trapping bioaerosols in the presence of a source of photons having a wavelength corresponding to the band gap of the photocatalysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theoretical analysis and preliminary experimental results for an innovative water desalination system using low-grade solar heat, which utilizes gravity and atmospheric pressure to create a vacuum under which water can be rapidly evaporated at much lower temperatures and with less energy than conventional techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a parametric analysis of a combined power/cooling cycle, which combines the Rankine and absorption refrigeration cycles, uses ammonia-water mixture as the working fluid and produces power and cooling simultaneously.
