Solar-powered distillation is a seawater method that utilizes solar heat as its main energy source for the purpose producing freshwater and by-product of process in form salt. This study aims to determine performance design with semi-batch system by combining fin-type absorber plate triangular prism cover. equipped reflector plate, which has surface area 0.3969 m2 volume capacity can be accommo...

The primary advantage of a PV concentrator is that concentrating light allows a significant reduction in the area of solar cell coverage, the main cost driver in a flat plate system. PV systems, whether flat plate or concentrating, normally have groups of solar cells connected in series in order to increase voltage and limit current. However, low illumination on a single cell proportionally red...

Venus, a planet similar to Earth in heat budget lacks plate tectonics, yet displays ample evidence of extensive volcanic and tectonomagmatic processes, including regions large enough to be considered LIPs. Thus Venus provides an excellent opportunity to examine large-scale magmatic processes outside a plate tectonic framework. I discuss four groups of Venus’ largest tectonomagmatic provinces: v...
