A vacuum tube based improved solar cooker

A new type of improved solar cooker based upon the use of a single vacuum tube is presented in this paper. The proposed cooker utilizes a solar collector consisting of parallel plane rectangular glass mirror strips mounted inside a wooden frame and requiring one dimensional solar tracking through a common driver. The proposed design can be either installed over the roof top of a house or near a...

The Demon in a Vacuum Tube

In the present paper, several issues concerning the second law of thermodynamics, Maxwell’s demon and Landauer’s principle are dealt with. I argue that if the demon and the system on which it operates without dissipation of external energy are made of atoms and molecules (gas, liquid or solid) in thermal equilibrium (whose behaviour is described by a canonical distribution), then the unavoidabl...

Voltage Unbalance Mitigation Using Positive Sequence Series Compensator

Voltage Unbalance is a common type of power quality problem. Sequence components occur during unbalance in three phase system. For this reason unbalance is assessed with respect to the sequence components present in the system. Voltage unbalance may adversely affect power system components connected to the system. In this paper, for symmetric and asymmetric faults, positive sequence voltage is ...
