Due to an increasing demand for an improvement in environmental conditions for living and a need for energy saving, development of daylight exploitation products has accelerated. The invention of light-pipes which bring natural light indoors where su... Read More about A design guide for performance assessment of solar light-pipes.

Design of a PV driven low flow solar domestic hot water system and modeling of the system collector outlet temperature (2002)
Journal Article
Grassie, T., MacGregor, K., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2002). Design of a PV driven low flow solar domestic hot water system and modeling of the system collector outlet temperature. Energy Conversion and Management, 43(8), 1063-1078. https://doi.org/10.1016

The system under consideration comprises a new freeze tolerant flat plate collector connected directly to a domestic hot water storage tank. Water is circulated by means of a small 12 V DC pump, driven directly by a PV module. It is desired that the...

To protect against accidents and their consequences, companies may take one of several courses of action. They can choose to do nothing, and live with an 'acceptable risk', or they may invest heavily in training, technology, preventive maintenance an... Read More about One safeguard too many.

Analysis of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels (2001)
Journal Article
Koukouvaos, A., & Kubie, J. (2001). Analysis of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 215(10), 1189-1210. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954406201215

The paper presents experimental and theoretical investigation of the outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels incorporating a vertical downcomer. In such vessels the liquid leaving through the outlet of the downcomer is replaced by another fluid... Read More about Analysis of liquid outflow from single-outlet vessels.

The measurement of vehicular driving cycle within the city of Edinburgh (2001)
Journal Article

A direct approach to analysing step changes (2000)
Journal Article
Kubie, J. (2000). A direct approach to analysing step changes. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 214(11), 1437-1441. https://doi.org/10.1243/0954406001523407

There are many processes in engineering in which a physical parameter y normally varies linearly with another physical parameter x, but where, on occasion, a step change in the variation of parameter y may occur. A typical example of this phenomenon... Read More about A direct approach to analysing step changes.
