Based on the developed analytical absorption model for 0.53 eV GaInAsSb alloy and the suggested material parameters, evaluating active layer controlled thermal conversion has been systematically done for both p-on-n and n-on-p configuration in its normal and inverted construction. A universal,...

This study evaluated hydrogen generation through the hydrolysis of an Al/NaBH4/Co/NaAlO2 system. Hydrogen generation performance can be altered by changing the Al/NaBH4 mass ratios, Co amount and NaAlO2 concentration. The optimized composite can achieve a hydrogen yield of more than 90% within...

One-factor-at-a-time design and orthogonal design were used in the experimental design methods to optimize bio-hydrogen (bio-H2) production from cornstalk wastes by anaerobic fermentation. Three series of experiments were designed to investigate the effects of substrate concentration, initial pH...

Electricity generation from thermal irradiation governed by GaSb diode has been systematically investigated in its normal and inverted configuration. It is demonstrated here that there is a critical base doping, 3 × 1017 cm−3, for the normal structure, and the superior output performance...

As the tidal current industry grows, power extraction from tidal sites has received widespread attention. In this paper, a blade element actuator disk model that is coupled with the blade element method and a three-dimensional Navier–Stokes code is developed to analyse the relationship between...

The aim of present paper was to investigate the prospect for the use of food waste, an important municipal waste, as a potential substrate to generate hydrolysates for fuel ethanol production. The critical variables that affected reducing sugar production from food waste were identified by...
