In the present work, a prototype of a new type of solar collectors, which called Direct Absorption Solar Collector, was built and its thermal performance is experimentally compared with conventional flat plate solar collector under transient and steady state conditions. Different volume fractions of multi wall carbon nanotubes in water and ethylene glycol mixture (70%:30% in volume) were used a...

The garbage collector presented in this paper makes use of two well known compaction garbage collection algorithms with very diierent performance characteristics: Cheney's two-space copying collector and Jon-ker's single-space sliding compaction collector. We propose a scheme which allows either collector to be used. The run-time memory requirements of the program being executed are used to det...

A novel method is presented for online estimation of the junction temperature (Tj) of semiconductor chips in IGBT modules, based on the voltage drop (VEE’) across the parasitic inductor that exists between the main emitter (E) and auxiliary emitter (E’) terminals. The peak amplitude of the voltage drop (VEE’) was found to depend on the junction temperature at a known current and DC link voltage...

the geometry of a collector is one of the important factors that can increase the incident radiation on the collector surface. in the present study, the incident radiation for a stationary collector with cone geometry, i.e. a conical collector, is theoretically and experimentally investigated. this type of collector is always stable and does not need a fixture to install. moreover, it has a sym...

PURPOSE To determine whether preferential pathways exist within the human trabecular meshwork, pigmented and nonpigmented regions adjacent to and between collector channels were examined, and the configuration of the juxtacanalicular tissue (JCT) was analyzed. METHODS Healthy whole human eyes were perfused at 10 or 25 mm Hg with 0.5 mum fluorescent beads. Tissue wedges of pigmented and nonpig...

Omri Boehm offers a lucid and incisive defence, supported by careful scholarship, of the compelling idea that preoccupation with Spinoza—appreciation of the force of Spinoza’s reasoning along with a concern to avoid his drastic conclusions—is at the heart of Kant’s philosophical enterprise. I have learned a great deal from Boehm’s fascinating study, and its excellence will be clearly visible to...

A TRNSYS component (Type 262) has been written to simulate a concentrating PV/Thermal collector. The component is based on a dynamic model of a concentrating PV/Thermal collector, which includes thermal capacitance effects, and detailed equations describing the temperature dependent energy flow between the collector and surroundings. The CHAPS system, a 30x concentration parabolic trough PV/The...
