In this paper, heat transfer and flow in a lean-to passive solar greenhouse has been studied. A mathematical model based on energy equilibrium and a one-dimensional mathematical model for the unsaturated porous medium have been founded and developed to predict the temperature and moisture...

Flexible solid-state dye sensitized solar cell is an important milestone for low-cost, large scale fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells. Flexible solid-state dye-sensitized solar cell is fabricated for the first time on titanium substrates using D102 sensitizer and a sputtered platinum...

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...

The micro-siting of wind farms has recently attracted much attention due to the booming development of wind energy. The paper aims to maximize the electrical power extracted from a wind farm while satisfying the required distance between turbines for operation safety. The micro-siting problem is...

In this study, burning oil of biomass (BOB) was derived from biomass corncob tar by distillation. The fuel BOB1 was extracted from biomass corncob tar by distilling temperature range from 110 to 220°C, the fuel BOB2 was extracted from biomass corn tar by distilling temperature over 220°C. This...
