Thermodynamic modelling and performance study of an engine waste heat driven adsorption cooling for automotive air-conditioning by Ali, Syed Muztuza, Chakraborty, Anutosh

“…It is also observed that the driving heat source temperature does not remain constant throughout the cycle time unlike the conventional adsorption chiller, and the hot water temperatures as driving source vary from 65 to 95 °C. CaCl2-in-silica gel–water system is found better in terms of COP and SCP as compared with other adsorbents – water systems.…”

Modeling of microfluid droplet resonator based on whisper gallery mode by Dong, Bin

“…Since the droplet is formed by surface tension, the surface will be quite smooth, so that whisper gallery modes can be formed near the surface of the droplet, which means the light will be transmitted by total internal refraction near the surface and get accumulated. The smooth surface will assure a high Q-factor by reducing the surface scattering loses. …”
