the present paper is aimed at describing a “closed cycle” power plant schematic (soft, solar oxygen fuel turbine) with macroalgae (seaweed) cultivation in a pond, combustion of its organic matter in a fluidized bed boiler of rankine cycle and return of the combustion products to the pond to feed algae. the oxygen used for combustion is released to atmosphere in photosynthesis. as a renewable fu...

The purpose of this article was to present a new drying method for agricultural products. Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) has been applied for drying of agricultural materials due to several advantages such as energy saving, low cost equipment, low drying temperatures, and superior material quality. To evaluate this method, an EHD dryer based on solar (photovoltaic) energy was designed and fabricated...
