We have considered the general case of a collector with four reflectors. An analytical model is developed for study of the effect of an individual reflector on the collector. Reflectors R-1, R-2, R-3, and R-4 face south, north, west, and east, respectively. For a collector with two reflectors...

We have studied an active solar distillation system during peak summer days. The system is made of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) and is coupled to a flat-plate collector (FPC). Performance of single and double-effect solar distillation, with and without water-flow over the glass cover, was...

Single phase FeTi intermetallic and FeTi-3.1 mass % V alloy were synthesized by vacuum arc melting using high purity elemental constituents. The crystal structure of both, FeTi intermetallic and FeTi-3.1 mass % V alloy was found to be of CsCl-type. Under similar annealing conditions, crystallite...
