this pump could be used to irrigate the regions where ground water level is close to land surface and thire is enough wind energy in the region. since advanced pumps are costly, this pump is designed only to send up water one meter high with the flow of one.inexperimental fluid mechanics laboratory of orrsay france amodel of this pump was conducted. results show that the pump could be manufactu...

A hybrid photovoltaic solar assisted loop heat pipe/heat pump (PV-SALHP/HP) water heater system has been developed and numerically studied. The system is the combination of loop heat pipe (LHP) mode and heat pump (HP) mode, and the two modes can be run separately or compositely according to the weather conditions. The performances of independent heat pump (HP) mode and hybrid loop heat pipe/hea...

in the present study, saffron was dried using a heat pump-assisted hybrid photovoltaic-thermal solar dryer. the effect of different drying air temperatures at three levels (40, 50, and 60oc) and two different modes of the dryer (with and without heat pump system) were investigated on drying behaviour of saffron. after collecting the pertinent data, eleven drying models were used to describe dry...

Multiple exciton generation (MEG) in semiconducting quantum dots is a process that produces multiple charge-carrier pairs from a single excitation. MEG is a possible route to bypass the Shockley-Queisser limit in single-junction solar cells but it remains challenging to harvest charge-carrier pairs generated by MEG in working photovoltaic devices. Initial yields of additional carrier pairs may ...

In development of floating photovoltaic generation system, finding a suitable place of installation is as important as development of economically feasible and stable structure. Especially since floating photovoltaic system has its facility floating on water surface, it is extremely important to review the effects of weather conditions such as wind, water flow and floating matters, various fact...

The integrated photovoltaic/thermal collector (PV/T) with solar assisted heat pump (SAHP) often operates under an undesigned condition. Against the backdrop of heat pump system oscillation resulting from the mismatching between collectors area and compressor capacity, this work explores the dynamic performance of heat pump system at a fixed compressor frequency when the condensing water tempera...
