Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordGlobal High-Power Rectenna Site SelectionOleg NizhnikThe reasons for implementing a high power density (>1 kW/m2) terrestrial rectenna for a space power plant system are described. The physical limitations on rectenna implementation are outlined and formal criteria for the rectenna site selection are proposed. The best site found was Mikura-jima, Japan. …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 28 Aug 2012 · 13,443 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMixing Patterns and Residence Time Determination in a Bubbling Fluidized Bed SystemA. E. Ghaly, K. N. MacDonaldFluidized bed gasification can be used to convert the solar energy stored as carboneous compounds in biomass into a carbon neutral fuel with reduced emissions. Canada produces 20.57 million tonnes of wheat straw annually which could be used for green energy production. Wheat straw residue gasification has the capability of replacing 7.5 % (0.62 EJ) of Canada’s annual fossil fuel … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 17 Aug 2012 · 8,115 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCoreless Winter Characteristics Observed with Global Positioning System Receivers over Antarctic and Arctic RegionsWayan Suparta, Faizatul Noor Abu Bakar, Mardina AbdullahProblem statement: The most recent warming trends occurred during the winter in Polar Regions had been attracted many researchers to study its impacts, which might affect the sensitivity of climate prediction in both regions, as well as on a global basis. Approach: The aims of this study were to observe the characteristics of coreless winter events using the GPS meteorology … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 22 Jun 2012 · 7,569 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTracking Error Analysis of a Rotation-Elevation Mode HeliostatOmar Aliman, Ismail Daut, Muzamir Isa, Mohd Rafi AdzmanFor the past few years, great efforts have been done in improving the tracking accuracy of a newly proposed rotation-elevation tracking mode heliostat. A special simulation program has been developed to systematically analyze the image movement and to find out the error of the parameters. In the simulation program, ray-tracing method was applied to work out the central point position … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,251 accessesView PDF Cite
