The generation of electricity from solar thermal source has continued to garner more attention due to the very attractive environmental performance, the applicability to small distributed users and as alternative to the fossil fuels power generation. Indeed, solar thermal energy, through the coupling with ORC systems, becomes fit for electric power generation as well and, with a proper thermal ...

The intermittent nature of solar radiation drives the researchers to store energy using latent heat storage (LHS). In this work, an experimental investigation is carried out study performance a pipe assisted parabolic trough collector (PTC) along with paraffin wax based phase change material (PCM). experiment ha sbeen performed under climatic condition North-East India. Further, comparative ass...

This study tests the ability of a new air nozzle system, located under the drill deck shroud, to improve the dust capture of the drill deck shroud. The system consists of three air nozzles supplied with regulated pressurized air and located midway down the shroud in the off-inlet corners of the shroud. Laboratory testing produced operating curves for the system that showed an optimum operating ...

Nowadays, the use of solar energy is incredibly important to be increased since renewable and also does not cause pollution. To harness energy, a collector device needed convert into heat energy. This study aimed analyze transfer in flat plate which used as source thermal water heating process for bathing. A double-glazed was absorb then transferred it pipe. The pipe material copper has very hi...

in this paper, the performance evaluation of a two-way hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (pv/t) solar collector was analytically and experimentally carried out. mathematical expressions for operating parameters in glass to glass and glass to tedlar pv/t solar collectors were developed and experimentally validated by a glass to tedlar pv/t solar collector system. also the influence of air flow rate on...
