The geometry of a collector is one of the important factors that can increase the incident radiation on the collector surface. In the present study, the incident radiation for a stationary collector with cone geometry, i.e. a conical collector, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. This type of collector is always stable and does not need a fixture to install. Moreover, it has a...

In the present work, a prototype of a new type of solar collectors, which called Direct Absorption Solar Collector, was built and its thermal performance is experimentally compared with conventional flat plate solar collector under transient and steady state conditions. Different volume fractions of multi wall carbon nanotubes in water and ethylene glycol mixture (70%:30% in volume) were used a...

The garbage collector presented in this paper makes use of two well known compaction garbage collection algorithms with very diierent performance characteristics: Cheney's two-space copying collector and Jon-ker's single-space sliding compaction collector. We propose a scheme which allows either collector to be used. The run-time memory requirements of the program being executed are used to det...

PURPOSE To determine whether preferential pathways exist within the human trabecular meshwork, pigmented and nonpigmented regions adjacent to and between collector channels were examined, and the configuration of the juxtacanalicular tissue (JCT) was analyzed. METHODS Healthy whole human eyes were perfused at 10 or 25 mm Hg with 0.5 mum fluorescent beads. Tissue wedges of pigmented and nonpig...

Abstract Certain special-shaped devices, such as traveling wave tubes, can be called hollow cylindrical structures in aerospace engineering and other applications. However, the structural complexity of devices means that their heat dissipation characteristics cannot measured directly using conventional techniques. The present work describes a method to measure devices’ thermal resistance by sem...
