This study represents advancements in the state-of-the-art of the solar energy industry by leveraging LiDAR-based building characterization for city-wide, distributed solar photovoltaics, solar maps, highlighting the distribution of solar energy across the city of San Antonio. A methodology is implemented to systematically derive the tilt and azimuth angles of each rooftop and to quantify solar...

The resolution of neutron backscattering spectrometers deteriorates at small scattering angles where analyzers deviate from exact backscattering. By reducing the azimuth angle range of the analyzers, the resolution can be improved with little loss of peak intensity. Measurements at the spectrometer SPHERES are in excellent agreement with simulations, which proves the dominance of geometric effe...

This study presents an innovative and simple way to increase the rate of heat transfer in a spiral plate heat exchanger model. Several circular cross-section rods, as continuous vortex generators, have been inserted within the spiral plate heat exchanger in the cross-stream plane. The vortex generators are located at various azimuth angles of α=30◦, 60◦, 90◦, and 120◦ with non-dimensional diame...

The paper deals with the problem of mobile location in the presence of angular scattering. The proposed approach consists in using the knowledge of the Power Angle Density (PAD) to estimate the azimuth, the sight of the mobile and their respective angular spread.

3-D prestack common-azimuth depth migration has strong potential for accurately imaging complex media and correctly handling multi-pathing. Here, we apply the technique to a North Sea real data containing a salt dome. The results obtained demonstrate the suitability of the method for complex media. A detailed analysis of associated angle-domain common-image gathers shows opportunities for impro...

One of the subjects in solar water heater design is considering distribution of hot water consumption during the day. For example, each of the household, commercial, office, school, and industrial consumptions have a particular distribution of hot water consumption named pattern in this article. In solar computation principles, the effect of longitude, latitude, and altitude on collector angle ...

A new way to control sound spatial dispersion using the ESSynth Method is introduced here. The Interaural Time Difference (ITD) is used as genotype of an evolutionary control of sound spatialization. Sound intensity and the ITD azimuth angle are used to define spatial dispersion and spatial similarity. Experimental results where crossover and mutation rates were used to create spatial sonic tra...
