Laboratory experiments have been performed to investigate photocatalytic detoxification by using TiO2 photocatalyst for treating dairy effluent. Various operational parameters such as catalyst concentration, initial concentration, angle of tilt of solar flat plate reactor and flow rate were investigated. Results indicated that the photocatalytic detoxification process can efficiently treat dair...

The tilt and decentration of intraocular lens (IOL) result in defocussing, astigmatism, and wavefront aberration after operation. The objective is to give a method to estimate the tilt and decentration of IOL more accurately. Based on AS-OCT images of twelve eyes from eight cases with subluxation lens after operation, we fitted spherical equation to the data obtained from the images of the ante...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of rotational alignment of the femoral and patellar components on patellar tilt after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 56 patients (76 knees) who underwent TKA using Advance Medial Pivot Knee system between May 2009 and April 2011 and were available for minimum 1-year follow-up were enrolled in this ...

Optimum tilt and azimuth angles for solar panels were calculated for a grid of 0.10 by 0.10 National Solar Radiation Data Base (NSRDB-SUNY) cells covering the continental United States. The average global irradiation incident on a panel at this optimum orientation over one year was also calculated, and was compared to the solar radiation received by a flat horizontal panel and a 2-axis tracking...

This study presents a novel, highly detailed, and accurate modelling method for calculation of the total annual solar thermal energy received by double-slope still. The model is further utilized sensitivity analysis optimization with help Genetic Algorithm TOPSIS methods. reveals that main parameters can independently affect input are basin length, width, tilt angle, surface azimuth glass cover...

Optimizing the output power of a photovoltaic panel improves the efficiency of a solar driven energy system. The maximum output power of a photovoltaic panel depends on atmospheric conditions, such as (direct solar radiation, air pollution and cloud movements), load profile and the tilt and orientation angles. This paper describes an experimental analysis of maximizing output power of a photovo...

Photovoltaic performance is significantly affected by soiling on its covering surface, which strongly influenced tilt angle. This raises concern for the potential investor, policymakers, engineers, and local populace in regions where rate threats remain relatively unexplored. study investigated effect of dust accumulation PV, considering influence angle using a low-cost in-house developed stati...

Solar tracking devices are efficacious in maximizing solar irradiation collection. However, higher price makes these systems less frequently used. As an alternative, optimum tilt angle estimation has the advantage that it does not involve cost expenditure. In this study, angles for different months have been computed Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh, India (L 31° 42? N). Several mathematical models a...
