This research aimed to experimentally study of solar panel efficiency with water cooling. Three mono-crystalline solar panels with the capacity of 80 W (for each panel) were used for this test. The first panel was a solar panel without water cooling. The second panel was a panel with water spray cooling. The last panel was a solar panel with water drop cooling. The cooling water flow rate was varied to 50 75 and 100 LPH. From the test it was found that the temperatures of all solar panels had the similar trends. The solar panel efficiency decreased when the temperature of solar panel increases. The solar panel efficiency increased when the cooling water flow rate was increased for both of water spray cooling and water drop cooling. For all water cooling flow rates the water spray cooling solar panel performed higher efficiency than water drop cooling solar panel. The highest solar panel efficiency in this test occurred when the water spray cooling flow rate of 100 LPH.

This study investigates three different types of power plant include a trilateral cycle (TLC) subcritical organic Rankine cycle (ORC) and supercritical ORC power plant driven by geothermal heat source with mass flow rate 1 kg/s and temperature of 100๐C 110๐C and 120๐C. with 27 substances were examined as the working fluid of the power plant. While the net power output of 4.78 kW and 7.74 kW is obtained from the subcritical ORC with RC318 as its working fluid when the heat source temperature are at 100๐C and 110๐C respectively. Meanwhile the net power output of 11.85 kW is obtained from the subcritical ORC with R227ea as its working fluid when the heat source temperature is at 120๐C. The net power output of 5.64 kW and 9.16 kW are obtained from the supercritical ORC with R218 as its working fluid when the heat source temperature are at 100๐C and 110๐C respectively. Meanwhile the net power output of 12.88 kW is obtained from the supercritical ORC with R143a as its working fluid when the heat source temperature is at 120๐C. Furthermore the net power output of 7.96 kW 12.27 kW and 17.38 kW are obtained from the TLC plant with heptane as its working fluid when the heat source temperature are at 100๐C 110๐C and 120๐C respectively.
