Recent measurements of methyl radicals (CH3) in the upper atmospheres of Saturn and Neptune by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) provide new constraints o photochemical models of hydrocarbon chemistry in the outer solar system. The derived column abundances of CH3 on Saturn above 10 mbar and Neptune above the 0.2 mbar t3 -2 ß pressure level are (2.5 6.0) x 1013 cm -2 and (0.7 2.8) x 10 cm , ...

The significance of energy storage methods and related R&D studies are increasing due to the depletion fossil fuels, rising prices, growing environmental concerns. Storage means elimination practical concerns for time difference between when is produced it?s needed. importance producing storing through renewable sources every day, especially in developing countries like T?rkiye, as such wou...

In this paper, an economic study of solar heat pumps and an investigation of differences between solar heat pumps and conventional heat pumps—based on their performances and energy consumption—are conducted for a residential apartment located in Austin, Texas, USA. Heating in the apartment is provided via a solar heat pump during the cold months of a year. Solar collectors are used to meet the ...

ABSTRACT The paper presents the modeling of a solar-wind-hydroelectric hybrid system in Matlab/Simulink environment. The application is useful for analysis and simulation of a real hybrid solar-wind-hydroelectric system connected to a public grid. Application is built on modular architecture to facilitate easy study of each component module influence. Blocks like wind model, solar model, hydroe...

Integrated energy systems utilizing renewable sources are sustainable and environmentally substitutes for conventional fossil-fired energy systems. A new multigeneration plant with two inputs, such as biomass and solar energy, and four useful outputs, such as cooling, heating, power, and distilled water, is presented and investigated in this paper. The proposed system includes evacuated tub...

nowadays, media is under domination of political regime & capitalist system that leads media to unsuitable status and malfunctions. so there is not any reasonable definition of ideal function. rate of social changes challenges any interaction between media & social context. discursive point of view reveals media identification crisis & its instrumental function. considering media competencies &...
