the shape of a solar collector is an important factor in solar-to-thermal energy conversion. conical shape is one of the stationary and symmetric shapes that can be employed as a solar water heater. flow rate of working fluid on the solar collector has an important effect on the efficiency of the collector. the present study is an experimentally investigated of the performance of the solar coni...

one of the effective methods to improve the thermal efficiency of solar collectors is using nanofluids as the coolant. the present study experimentally investigated the effect of sio2/water nanofluid with 1% mass fraction on the performance of a symmetric collector, i.e. conical solar collector. the conical solar collector with 1 m2 area and normal to the earth was tested in ahvaz, a city in th...

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...

A symmetric gain optoelectronic mixer based on an indium gallium arsenide (In0.53Ga0.47As)/indium phosphide (InP) symmetric heterojunction phototransistor structure is being investigated for chirpedAM laser detection and ranging (LADAR) systems operating in the ‘‘eye-safe” 1.55 lm wavelength range. Signal processing of a chirped-AM LADAR system is simplified if the photodetector in the receiver...

A two-dimensional small bias model has been developed for a patterned metal current collector | mixed oxygen ion and electronic conductor (MIEC) | patterned metal current collector electrochemical cell in a symmetric gas environment. Specifically, we compute the electrochemical potential distributions of oxygen vacancies and electrons in the bulk and near the surface for Pt|Sm0.15Ce0.85O1.925|P...

Multistage collectors are commonly used in travelling wave tubes (TWTs), klystrons, gyrotrons and inductive output tubes (IOTs). A dc beam transfers some of its energy to the input RF wave during its travel through the interaction circuit. The purpose of a collector is to recover most of the remaining dc power from the spent beam and thereby increase both the collector and the overall efficienc...
