A small-scale hybridized solar PV-AC grid (HSPVACG) power system has been developed to operate along with AC grid. This system consists of a photovoltaic, array installed on the rooftop, a hybrid power controller (HPC) and ...

Some investigations have been carried on an old ESP unit to determine dust collection efficiencies and effective migration velocities after incorporating microprocessor based intermittent charging and rapping systems. The ...

The research and development of LMMHD energy conversion (EC) systems which started in the 1960s has already come a long way and is heading towards commercialization. Design and development of such systems has to deal with ...

Losses in an MHD generator not only reduce the power output but also degrade it. The losses due to heat, friction and leakage through insulating-wall/slag have been analyzed for the diagonal generator for better control ...

A mathematical model for the channel analysis of MHD generators based on nonlinear fluid dynamics and Maxwell's equations has been presented. The fluid properties of the seeded combustion products of coal burnt with oxygen ...

The temperature distribution inside an insulating wall fixed between the adjacent electrodes in an MHD channel has been estimated across the direction of flow of plasma inside the channel. It has been shown that sharp ...

The gas dynamics of the channel is affected by the load variation, which is responsible for shock wave formation. They (i.e. the shock wave), on the one hand, help in increasing the electrical conductivity of the fluid, ...

In this paper, an attempt has been made to btain an analytical expression for the instantaneous thermal efficiency of a greenhouse integrated biogas system and the instantaneous thermal loss efficiency factor from the ...

In this communication, an attempt has been made to obtain an analytical expression for the retention period of a given capacity biogas plant. It has been shown that the use of solar energy reduces the retention period. The ...

In this paper we develop models that incorporate general mobility patterns that are induced by the cell topography (e.g., road layout, street orientation, density of intersections). In particular, we study the effect of ...
