Nowadays the design of large-scale structures can be effectively improved by adoption numerical models. Even if experimental tests still play a fundamental role, methodological approach that combines testing and modelling technique significantly improve understanding matter. This, in fact, would result more reliable optimization process, drastically reducing efforts uncertainties towards implem...

Reducing the use of conventional energy in agricultural production and food processing via using renewable is one key points to protect our environment. Solar radiation might be an excellent source for replacing traditional heat sources drying technology. This study aims analyze investigate efficiency different solar collectors apply products drying. Seven have been developed manufactured exper...

The current study presents the concept of a stand-alone solar organic Rankine cycle (ORC) water pumping system for rural Nepalese areas. Experimental results for this technology are presented based on a prototype. The economic viability of the system was assessed based on solar radiation data of different Nepalese geographic locations. The mechanical power produced by the solar ORC is coupled w...

sustainable development would be a key solution for climate change and renewable energy plays an important role in this policy. recently, according to increase of co2 emission and other relevant impacts, solar energy has been gaining more attentions from policy makers. thus, compound parabolic concentrators collectors are considered as one of the promising applications from solar thermal advant...
