Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDesign and Experimental Investigation of a Novel Solar Collector with a W-Shape CoverEdoun Marcel, Djimasra Bonheur, Kuitche Alexis, Zeghmati BelkacemIn the current study, we developed and tested a new type of solar collector named W-shape solar collector. It is a solar collector with single air pass between the transparent cover and the absorber. The cover has double glass whereby the upper glass is flat and the lower glass is w-shape. The absorber is also W-shape. This combination gave rise … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2019 · 7,629 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance 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 · 6,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance 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 · 8,195 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe TESS Satellite will Search for Planets in the Vicinity of our Solar SystemRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuThe US Space Agency has launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, the TESS satellite, which will search for planets near our solar system and study them in detail. "TESS will significantly increase the number of planets studied," said George Ricker of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, before launching. "It will double the number of planets we've seen and detected with … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 23 May 2019 · 6,639 accessesView PDFCite
