Solar transparent insulation materials: a review
(2003)
This paper presents a status report on solar transparent insulation materials (TIM). It covers a survey of the literature, various physical and other properties of TIM devices, their classifications, applications, fabrication ...
Study of heat and mass transfer from sugarcane juice for evaporation
(2003)
The study of heat and mass transfer during natural convection heating for preparation of Jaggery was carried out for the open and closed conditions. An indoor experiment was conducted for simulation of developed thermal ...
Present status of solar distillation
(2003)
In this communication an attempt has been made to review, in brief, work on solar distillation, its present status in the world today and its future perspective. The review also includes water sources, water demand, ...
Computer modeling of passive/active solar stills by using inner glass temperature
(2003)
Expressions for water and glass temperatures, hourly yield and instantaneous efficiency for both passive and active solar distillation systems have been derived. The analysis is based on the basic energy balance for both ...
Effect of electric field on spray deposited CdTe thin films
(2003)
CdTe thin films have been deposited using spray pyrolysis with and without electric field. The improvement in the film properties with the electric field is observed which is mainly due to the reduction of droplet size. ...
Spray deposition of CdTe–Te thin films using ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid as a complexing agent in the precursor solution
(2003)
CdTe thin films have been deposited by spray pyrolysis technique using varying concentration of Ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) as a complexing agent (CA) in the precursor solution. Scanning electron micrographs ...
Modeling and experimental validation of a greenhouse with evaporative cooling by moving water film over external shade cloth
(2003)
A mathematical model through flowing water film on shade cloth, stretched over the roofs and south wall of an even span greenhouse has been developed to study the effectiveness of cooling in greenhouse. The model was ...
Parametric study of an irreversible regenerative Brayton cycle with isothermal heat addition
(2003)
A parametric study of an irreversible regenerative Brayton heat engine with isothermal heat addition has been performed with external as well as internal irreversibilities. The external irreversibility is due to the finite ...
Thermal aspects of open sun drying of various crops
(2002)
Open sun drying (OSD) is the most common method of crop drying in developing countries. Despite several disadvantages, it is widely practiced because it is a simple way of drying. Crop temperature, temperature around the ...
Thermal modeling of a controlled environment greenhouse cum solar distillation for composite and warm humid climates of India
(2002)
The present study is concerned with the analysis of solar desalination system combined with a greenhouse for both composite and warm humid climate of India. Analytical expressions for water temperature, greenhouse room air ...
