...Anthony C. Ozurumba; N. V. Ogueke; C. A. Madu For organometallic halide solar cells (OHSC), it is expected that their performance in hot climates is to be challenged by high operating temperature conditions typical of these regions. This study explores, for the first time, the performance...

...Pushpendra Singh; M. K. Gaur; G. N. Tiwari; Anil Kumar Thermal model is developed to predict the outlet water temperature with respect to time for water-in-tube type evacuated solar collector connected in series. Developed mathematical expression is validated for the single collector and two...

... = 10 and e/D = 0.042. The enhancement in air temperature flowing under three-sided roughened duct is found to be 49.27% more than that of a smooth duct. The instant innovative form of three-sided roughened solar air warmer would be preferable to those of a smooth solar air heater with respect to heat...

... fluid dynamics (CFD) with the shear stress transport (SST) κ-omega turbulent model is used in the study. The effects of geometric configurations on the BIPV cell temperature in steady state are evaluated including the sizes of the bottom and top openings and the depth of the back air cavity (or so...

...Tahere Zarei; Morteza Abdolzadeh The experimental method is extensively used to determine the temperature of a photovoltaic (PV) module at different hours of a day. In this method, the module temperature is measured using a temperature sensor mounted on the back of PV module. However...

...Edwin Peng; Halil Berberoğlu Performance characteristics of an acetonitrile electrolyte based dye-sensitized solar cell were measured experimentally as functions of temperature (from 5 to 50 °C) and irradiance (from 500 to 1500 W m −2 ). The results indicated two thermal regimes of operation...

.... ANSYS GAMBIT and FLUENT 6.0 packages are used to employ the present model for heat transfer fluid (HTF) past a row of such capsules, while varying the HTF inlet temperature and flow rate, as well as the reference temperatures. The present model agrees well with experimental data taken from literature...

...A. Z’Graggen; A. Steinfeld Radiation heat transfer within a high-temperature solar thermochemical reactor that features two cavities in series is considered. The inner cavity is subjected to concentrated solar radiative power entering through a spectrally selective window positioned at its aperture...
