abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

in recent decades, due to increasing prices of fossil fuels and environmental pollution resulting from the increased energy demand, researches on renewable energy sources have attracted lots of researcher’s attention. limited investing sources and environmental issues are important factors effecting electricity generation sector. minimizing costs and environmental damages are issues being consi...

Solar flare events of high importance were utilised to study solar latitudinal frequency distribution of the solar flares in northern and southern hemisphere for the solar cycle 22 to recent solar cycle 23. A statistical analysis was performed to obtain their relationship with sudden storm commencement (SSCs) and Forbush decrease events (Fd) of cosmic ray intensity. An 11-year cyclic variation ...

In the framework of H2020 European project POLYPHEM, whose main objective is to improve flexibility and performance small-scale solar power plants, studies have been conducted on various nickel-based alloys for design receiver. Inconel 600 alloy used as a reference material in advanced manufacturing high temperature receivers but other oxidation resistant selected such 617, Haynes 230, HR120 Ha...

But the evidence is now overwhelming that excessive exposure to any part of the solar W spectrum, including WA II (320-340 nm) and WA I (340-400 nm), is harmful. Apart from its possible role in melanoma, WA has been shown to cause a wide variety of chemical and biological effects including generation of reactive oxygen species, DNA damage, lipid peroxidation, increase in elastin fibers, collage...

This work aimed to show the possibility of applying anthocyanins extracted from blueberries following a straightforward path as potential impregnation dyes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), particularly presence co-adsorbents, such silver nanoparticles, an alternative order profit large amounts discarded fruits. Following simple procedure, (mainly delphinidin-3-glucoside) were obtained (So...

Brackish water desalination using solar still (SS) is a low-cost sustainable solution to global scarcity, but this technology suffers from low yield and efficiency. The judicious amalgamation of highly conductive materials with superior absorption behavior one the most effective approaches overcome limitation. In regard, present work synthesizes novel multilayered 2-D MXene 3-D MAX phase as coa...
