A novel absorptive/reflective solar concentrator for heat and electricity generation: An optical and thermal analysis

The crossed compound parabolic concentrator (CCPC) is one of the most efficient non-imaging solar concentrators used as a stationary solar concentrator or as a second stage solar concentrator. In this study, the CCPC is modified to demonstrate for the first time a new generation of solar concentrators working simultaneously as an electricity generator and thermal collector. The CCPC is designed...

Interconnected Heat Pipe Solar Collector

This paper deals with the performance of a heat pipe solar collector. The solar collector consisted of an interconnected heat pipe so as to reduce the production cost by using an interconnected heat pipe because all the heat pipes can be evacuated, sealed and tested at once. Performance of a prototype of the heat pipe solar collector was experimentally examined, and the results were compared wi...

Power generating reflective-type liquid crystal displays using a reflective polariser and a polymer solar cell

We herein report the results of a study of a power generating reflective-type liquid crystal display (LCD), composed of a 90° twisted nematic (TN) LC cell attached to the top of a light-absorbing polymer solar cell (PSC), i.e., a Solar-LCD. The PSC consisted of a polymer bulk-heterojunction photovoltaic (PV) layer of poly[[9-(1-octylnonyl)-9H-carbazole-2,7-diyl]-2,5-thiophenediyl-2,1,3-benzothi...

Solar Heat for Industrial Processes

Physiologic Response to Transient Heat Stress in Reflective versus Non-reflective Clothing.

Six subjects wearing either nonreflective or reflective outer garments of equal insulative value (I clo) and unventilated were exposed in 96 experiments to heat pulses of 930, 1210, 1490, and 1770 C for 15, 12, 9, and 2 minutes, respectively. The experiments were designed to simulate a range of re-entry heat exposures produced by malfunction or failure of the air-conditioning system of the vehi...
