Solar Heat for Industrial Processes

A Hybrid Solar-Wind Power Generation System as an Instructional Resource for Industrial Technology Students

The detailed study of electrical power systems is a key element of many curricula in Industrial Technology. A novel laboratory set-up has been designed and implemented at the University of Northern Iowa as an instructional resource for teaching electrical power system and renewable energy concepts. The set-up consists of a photo-voltaic solar-cell array, a mast mounted wind generator, lead-acid...

Industrial Process Heat Applications of Solar Energy

Concentrating solar collectors of low concentration ratio can supply hot water or process heat at intermediate temperatures, i.e. 80 to 180 C, where flat plate collectors are not effective, and for which there are a number of industrial, domestic and rural applications. This paper studies the potential applications of this technology and presents case studies to prove its feasibility.

Cognitive mapping concept of resource management for the viability of local communities

The local community is a complex socio-economic system, and its ability to function for an indefinitely long period of time (viability) is not investigated sufficiently today. The purpose of the research was, using the cognitive mapping, propose to the local community management developing their own management strategies to ensure its viability. Considering the weakly structured subject area of...

Biological Resource Mapping

Maps are extremely useful for displaying information on the biological, physical, geographical, or cultural resources of an area. Additionally, maps can serve as the basis for designing and conducting resource inventory and monitoring programs. The fi rst part of this chapter focuses on the process of preparing a vegetation map, including a discussion of certain issues that need to be considere...
