TL;DR: In this article, a double-pass solar collector with porous media in the lower channel provides a higher outlet temperature compared to the conventional single-pass collector, therefore, the thermal efficiency of the solar collector is higher.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic model of a hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PVT) collector with a sheet-and-tube thermal absorber is presented to evaluate the annual generation of electrical energy along with the provision of domestic hot-water (DHW) from the thermal energy output, by using real climate data at high temporal resolution.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance and pollution of a diesel engine fueled with diesel-biodiesel-ethanol blends compared with diesel fuel in laboratory tests are presented. And the main properties of the researched fuels are presented within this paper, in comparison with classical diesel fuel (chemical composition, density, kinematic viscosity, cold filter plugging point, flash point).
