TL;DR: In this article, a salinity gradient solar pond with a chimney was used to produce power in salt affected areas of northern Victoria, Australia, where existing salinity mitigation schemes are introduced and the integration of solar ponds with those schemes is discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a thermosyphon heat pipe heat exchanger was investigated using a Hilton Air-Conditioning Laboratory Unit in RMIT, and it was observed that this type of heat exchamer can be an advantageous replacement for conventional reheat coils, resulting in energy saving and enhancing the cooling capability of the cooling coils with little or no external energy needed.

TL;DR: In this paper, an air-to-air heat exchanger using thermosyphon heat pipes was designed, constructed and tested under medium temperature (below 300°C) operating conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, a closed-cycle salt-gradient solar pond (CCSGSP) system, fresh or low salinity water is supplied at the surface of the solar pond as make-up for evaporation losses as well as for surface washing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the development of the heat pipe turbine from concept to reality, a series of development steps taken to optimise the design and manufacture, and attempt have been made to provide relationships for the developed power in terms of the geometric and thermodynamic parameters and to discuss limitations on the efficiencies of these turbines.
