    The tesis entitled “Conversation Analysis on the Interview between News reporter of New York Times and Author on Bestseller Novels” is aimed at describing the aspects of conversation found in that interview. Those are opening and closing, adjacency pair, topic management and turn taking. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method to study the problem, because this study has a purpose to describe and analyze the aspects of conversation in an interview. The data were taken from written data of news interview of news reporter and author in Stuart Wood’s (author) official webpage. The speakers are a news reporter and author. The conversation was an English dialogue in formal conversation. The result showed that there is no opening and this interview because the interviewer directly asked question to the author. The closing is indicated by the preclosing” “Anything else you’d like to say to readers?”. Then, it was followed by the answer of the interviewee or the novel’s author. The dominant adjacency pair found in this interview is question-answer. The topic discussed in this interview is only one that is about the novel wriitten by the author. The initiator of the topic is interviewer by asking something to the interviewee. The topic is developed by the interviewee by giving answer to the interviewer. There are 114 turn takings in the conversation: 57 times from the interviewer and 57 times form the interviewee. In this conversation there is no dominant person or less dominant person because both of them gives the same turns. Beside that, the form of the conversation is just question and answer. So, the turn taking just happened when the interviewer gives question to the interviewee

    The experimental investigation of subcooling effects on system COP was carried out on a residential air conditioning using R410A as working fluid, with a compressor capacity of about 0.75 kW. In the experiment, the indoor and outdoor temperatures were controlled at 24°C and 32°C. The results showed that the use of condensate water lowers the refrigerant temperature in the condenser outlet by 2.7°C. By lowering the refrigerant temperature, the cooling capacity of the air conditioning can be enhanced. The decrease in of refrigerant temperature results in COP improvement 16.4%. Besides increasing the COP, the condensate water also decreases the discharge compressor temperature by 7.6°C. The decrease in of the discharge compressor temperature resulted in the decrease in power consumption of the air conditioning system by 5.9%
