abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

Domestic load profiles in the residential sectors are being modified with adoption of smart home management systems and solar generation. In addition, houses rooftop PV behave like local generators, contributing to growth penetration energy. Hence, demand for power is declining day by day. However, increasing causes technical challenges system, such as “duck curve”. This can be addressed throug...

This paper reports a plenary thermodynamic model of a novel solar system for water heating in buildings. Energy and exergy analyses are used to characterize the exergy destruction rate in any component and calculate system overall efficiency. The system consists of a solar evaporator, a heat exchanger to produce hot water, and an auxiliary pump. A computer simulation program using EES software ...

Monodisperse multifunctional MnFe2O4/dye/silica core/shell nanoparticles have been designed and developed. The magnetic cores act as nano-heaters in biological systems under RF field excitation and the encapsulated dyes work as local temperature probes. The silica shells enable the water-solubility and biocompatibility of the NPs and protect the encapsulated fluorophores from photobleaching.

Bringing together nanofluids and solar collectors has been widely discussed without any major advance or long-term study being carried out. In this context, paper provides a useful feasibility to help future decisions in using Solar Water Heating Systems (SWHSs) different locations. The performances of SWHSs the nanofluid-based flat plate collector (FPSC), evacuated tube (ETC), compound parabol...
