Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Assessment of Solar Chimneys: Part 2 – Impacts of Slenderness Value and Collector Slope on Power OutputErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceIn the previous part, impacts of chimney height thus pressure difference on the power output of solar chimneys have been numerically evaluated. Within the scope of this research, slenderness and slope of collector are analysed in terms of their potential influence on average velocity of air at the chimney inlet. The analyses are based on a commercial and reliable CFD … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 9 Jul 2019 · 6,855 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPerformance Assessment of Solar Chimneys: Part I – Impact of Chimney Height on Power OutputErdem Cuce, Pinar Mert CuceSolar chimney is a truly sustainable and green energy technology, which is a potential alternative to carbon-based energy economy. The working principle of solar chimneys is based on the buoyant nature of air to turn a turbine that produces electrical power. Solar chimneys are highly in the centre of interest among all solar energy applications since they enable both day … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 29 Jun 2019 · 8,200 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntegrating Sustainability into Teaching and Research at the University of the South Pacific to Enhance Capacity for the Sustainable Development of Pacific Island CountriesKanayathu C. Koshy, Aliti Koroi, Neil Netaf, Cresantia Koya-Vaka'utaProblem statement: Pacific Island countries have been recognised globally as a ‘special case for environment and Sustainable Development (SD)’ because of their extreme vulnerability to a host of both external and internal development challenges such as: Narrow range of resources, high population density, limited export volume, impacts of climate change and natural disasters, trade, ICT and globalisation pressures. As part … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 18 Dec 2010 · 9,239 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPotential Contribution of Traffic to Air Pollution in the State of KuwaitN. Al-Mutairi, P. KoushkiProblem statement: The reduction in ambient air pollution is a universal goal-particularly in urban areas, the lack of resources often necessitates identification and prioritization of sources of air pollutants. Efficient planning and effective management of environmental pollutants is thus important for optimum utilization of limited resources. Approach: This study examined seven years of data from three air pollution monitoring stations … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,283 accessesView PDF Cite
