Solar water heaters are good tools for saving fuel. The main component of these water heaters is collectors, which are responsible for absorbing solar energy and transferring it to the working fluid with the least heat dissipation. The present study is an experimental study of the performance of the solar semispherical collector with 1 m2 of absorber area at different volumetric flow...

an industrial gas turbine has the characteristic of decreasing output power on hot summer days while electricity demand peaks. steam injection in gas turbines has been used for many years to prevent the loss of performance of gas turbines caused by high ambient temperature. vodoley system is a closed steam injection gas turbine cycle (csigtc), which is known as a self-sufficient in steam produc...

One of the most general types of stress experienced by plants is water-limitation, which becomes particularly pronounced during periods of drought. We evaluated fluctuating asymmetry (FA) in Quercus undulata leaves for two subsequent dry years: 2001, when precipitation was 25% below average, and 2002, when precipitation was 65% below average, from a plot receiving ambient water and one in which...

magnesium hydroxide mg(oh)2 nanorods with diameters of 90±10nm and lengths of more than 2μms were prepared by a simple route at ~75oc in ambient air. the approach is based on reaction of magnesium powder and de-ionized water without the use of any harmful, toxic or corrosive reagents. characterization using x-ray diffraction (xrd) shows single crystalline structure of mg(oh)2 (brucite) whereas ...
