EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDURABILITY OF MIXED MORTAR LINING CONTAINING DREGS-GRITSB. P. Zanella, E. B. Sá, N. O. Acorinti et al.The improper disposal of industrial waste and exploitation of natural resources has resulted in the scarcity of river sand and environmental degradation, such as river erosions and pollution. This study aimed to assess the durability of mixed mortar lining walls and ceilings, containing 0 (default), 10 and 20% of dregs-grits compounds-waste of the pulp industry-in substitution with river sand. This … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 26 Feb 2014 · 7,594 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Architecture of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Ultra-Low-Power Based Hybrid Energy Harvester in Ubiquitous Devices: A ReviewMichelle Lim Sern Mi, Sawal Hamid Muhammad Ali, Md Shabiul IslamThis research work presents a novel architecture of an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) based Hybrid Energy Harvester (HEH) consisting of multiple input sources such as kinetic, thermal and solar energy, harvested from passive human power. Having multiple ambient sources mitigates limitations caused by single sources especially for bodily-worn applications; however, this results in impedance mismatch among the different integrated sources. To overcome … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSolar Water Desalination System with Condenser Without Using Electricity for Rural AreasAbhijeet Auti, Tejinder Singh, Dilip Pangavhane, Ashok ChavanDomestic desalination is a process in which salt water is heated and converted to steam by using parabolic solar concentrator. Solar radiations incident on concentrator are focused at the absorber which contains salt water. The steam is then condensed by the condenser which is designed on the basis of the thermal analysis. Condenser is a basically a water tank with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 6,903 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication and Experimental Investigation of PCM Capsules Integrated in Solar Air HeaterMahmud M. Alkilani, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Sohif MatProblem statement: Thermal Energy Storage (TES) process can reduce the time or rate mismatch between energy supply and energy demand. Organic latent heat materials are suitable to use as storage medium, however, the low thermal conductivity of these materials slow the thermal response during charging and discharging processes. Approach: A solar air heater integrated with (PCM) has been designed, fabricated … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 6 · 11 Jan 2012 · 7,589 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputational Study of Hybrid Water Heater with Evacuated Glass Tube Solar Collector and Rice Husk CombustionPiyanun Charoensawan, Chaiwat WannagositProblem statement: The thermal performance modeling of hybrid water heater with evacuated glass tube solar collector and flue gas of rice husk combustion was developed. The solar global radiation and ambient air temperature data used in the system modeling belongs Phitsanulok province from 7 am-5 pm in the summer season. Approach: The system can be divided into two parts, i.e., … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Option for Small Scale Cashew Nut Processing in IndiaAtul Mohod, Sudhir Jain, A.G. PowarProblem statement: Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) is one of the important tropical crops. India processed about 11,80,000 metric tons of raw cashew nut seeds through 3650 cashew processing industries scattered in many states of country. The cashew nut processing industries are typically located in the rural and backward areas. The most significant difficulty in processing cashew nuts is that the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 16,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergetic Performances Study of an Integrated Collector Storage Solar Water HeaterO. Helal, B. Chaouachi, S. Gabsi, C. BoudenProblem statement: Although that the interest attributed to the solar energy remains relatively limited, we attend today to the conception of several installations using the sun as energy source among which we quote the solar water heater. Approach: A study of energetic performances was taken on an integrated collector/storage solar water heater made in the National School of Engineers of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 7,894 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Single-Pass Photovoltaic-Thermal Air Collector with Rectangle Tunnel AbsorberGoh Li Jin, Adnan Ibrahim, Yee Kim Chean et al.Problem statement: Photovoltaic solar cell generate electric by receiving sun light or solar irradiance. But solar cell received heat from solar irradiance as well and this will reduced the efficiency of the solar cell. The heat trap at the solar photovoltaic panel become waste energy. Approach: The solution for this was by adding a cooling system to the photovoltaic panel. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2010 · 8,327 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model of Double Pass Photovoltaic Thermal Air Collector with FinsEbrahim M. Ali Alfegi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Yusof Hj Othman, Baharudin Bin YatimProblem statement: The efficiency of photovoltaic cells is generally temperature dependent (efficiency decrease when the temperature of the photovoltaic cells increase). This problem can be solved by cooling the solar cells during operation and operated at low temperature. Approach: This study presented a numerical model of double pass Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) solar air collector with fins attached to the back … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,006 accessesView PDFCite
