Flat plate-type solar water distillation (FPSWD) is having importance for providing hot water and drinking water simultaneously to households in rural areas or small community/hotels. It utilizes solar radiation to heat the water, produce fresh water out of the saline or brackish water, and also produce hot water. The paper is focused on field performance of inclined FPSWD for domestic and comm...

Despite the importance of global solar radiation (Rs), data this variable are not available for many regions Brazil due to low density surface weather stations, mainly in North and Central-West regions. The estimation with no Rs based on mathematical models, which has shown be a viable alternative. objective work was contribute these studies through calibration evaluation three traditional mode...

Sunshine hours are the only long term, reliable and available measured information that can be used to reach highly accurate estimates of solar radiation values on the Earth surface. In this paper the sunshine duration is used to estimate monthly average daily solar radiation on a horizontal surface, it can be used to predict solar radiation in different climatic region of Iran. According to th...

The yearly and monthly estimation of terrestrial solar radiation over Lokoja using meteorological parameters temperature relative humidity during the period twenty two years (July 1983 – June 2005) was investigated. variation with global radiation, temperature, atmospheric pressure were results indicated that high values observed rainy season than in dry season. highest average under investigat...

Idealized climate modeling studies often choose to neglect spatiotemporal variations in solar radiation, but doing so comes with an important decision about how to average solar radiation in space and time. Since both clear-sky and cloud albedo are increasing functions of the solar zenith angle, one can choose an absorptionweighted zenith angle that reproduces the spatialor time-mean absorbed s...

Rapid technological advancement in solar applications requires accurately determined daily global radiation (DGSR). The independent models to predict DGSR are super cited as they do not require any other climatological or geographical parameter. In this study, nine day-of-the-year based (DYB) developed estimate Pakistan. meteorological data from the year 2000–2017 is used while covering thirty ...

Number of mathematical correlations have been used to predict the monthly average global solar radiation on horizontal using the sun hours as an input parameter. The study was carried out on two weather stations in the UAE, which are Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, using a daily weather data recorded for 13 years. The used correlations included the linear Angstrom-Prescott model and its derivations, name...

Considering that the effective yield of a panel is equal to its total number of hours of solar radiation and temperature, only the effects of temperature and solar radiation intensity at the maximum power point (MPP) are investigated in this article. By collecting temperature data, sun's radiation hours from six synoptic meteorological stations in Kermanshah Province over the course of an e...
