In the present work, a building integrated photovoltaic module (BIPV) is analyzed by passive cooling technique. The effect of incorporating wick in BIPV modules electrical energy conversion efficiency and surface temperatures are studied under different orientations of building. The BIPV module contains window glazing, Polycrystalline solar cells and coir mat wick material. The experimental results...
The research work done is related to solar thermal energy storage using Saw tooth shaped absorber along with Phase Change Material (PCM) with integrated collector-saw tooth solar water heating (ICSTSWH) system. Towards that Design and fabricated ICSTSWH. Solar heat gain has been enhanced by means of saw tooth shape roof which have maximum transmissivity to collect the solar irradiation. Top layer...
In this research paper, an attempt has been made to come across the effect of multiple glazing covers on the efficiency of a solar thermal collector. This experimental investigation was carried out on an active solar energy demonstration system (ET 200), illuminated with a halogen lamp. Three commercial glass panes of 3 mm thickness, having the same dimensions as that of the apparatus glazing, were...
The work conducted in this study is to evaluate the efficiency of two different concentrating solar collector models integrated in the roof and to measure the influence of glass roof tiles on efficiency. The collectors presented here aim to improve the deficiency of conventional flat plate collectors during cold period that fail to deliver a sufficient temperature to fill up the storage tank at a...
In this study, the experimental performance of a single slope solar still coupled with a modified biomass cook stove was investigated. Solar still shows potential for water desalination due to its simplicity and low cost; however the yield is low. Biomass fuels are used by nearly half the world's population on a daily basis for cooking. Modified biomass cook stoves is a promising option to reduce...
Cooking is one of the unavoidable activities that consumes huge amount of conventional fuel. If this state continues then all the fuel left will get depleted in about 20-30 years. This problem was identified many years ago and solar cookers were introduced. In different parts of the world solar cookers are made, studied and patented but it is not being used at homes like other conventional cookers...
This paper has been set up for a small-scale experimental device for solar chimney power generation - sea water desalinization of synthetic system. Through contact temperature measuring devices, we study the temperature rise of internal system, of the glass cover, of heat collector, air temperature rise, variation of water production hourly and changes in the relationship. The results show that water...
