Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStudy of Au/n-Ti2S/p-Si/Al Schottky-Type Thin Film Heterojunction Solar Cells: Computer Simulation ModelingAli IbrahimThe Au/n-Ti2S/p-Si/Al heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer solar cells were analyzed by AFORS-HET software program. Thickness of the emitter intrinsic layer and the interface state density of such cells were studied. In which, the intrinsic layer inserted between the Ti2S and crystalline p-type silicon substrate, reduce the interface state density. The thinner intrinsic layer is better than thicker one, when the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 3 Jun 2015 · 6,284 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCost-Effective Energy Refurbishment of Health Care Facilities in Heating Dominated Climates of Italian Backcountry. The Case Study of the Hospital Veneziale of IserniaRosa Francesca De Masi, Fabrizio Ascione, Gennaro Sosto, Giuseppe Peter VanoliMaximizing energy efficiency within hospitals and healthcare facilities is a major challenge for sustainable development and energy saving objectives. In this study, the case study of the public hospital of Isernia (Italian backcountry city) is proposed, being typical of the hospital building stock developed in reinforced concrete all around Italy in the last 40 years. Starting from deep on-site investigations, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 25 Sep 2017 · 8,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordKINETIC MODELLING OF CONTINUOUS-MIX ANAEROBIC REACTORS OPERATING UNDER DIURNALLY CYCLIC TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTE. A. Echiegu, A. E. GhalyA two-culture dynamic model which incorporated the effects of diurnally cyclic temperature was developed and used to predict the dynamic response of anaerobic reactors operated on dairy manure under two diurnally cyclic temperature ranges of 20-40°C and 15-25°C which represent the summer and winter in Nigeria. The digesters were operated at various hydraulic retention times and solid concentrations and some … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 29 Aug 2014 · 7,292 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA NEW AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAN MODEL BASED ON NUMERICAL ANALYSISNabil Nassif, Raymond Tesiero, Nihal AlRaeesA large portion of energy use in buildings is attributed to air movement devices. Accurate estimation of fan performance is a key element in maximizing fan efficiency. This study proposes a new fan model that can be used in several applications such as optimization and fault detection and can also be incorporated into any commercial building models. The model uses … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2014 · 8,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMATHEMATICAL MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THIN LAYER HALOGEN DRYER OF STRAWBERRY AND STUDY IT’S EFFECT ON ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITYAsaad Rehman Saeed Al-Hilphy, Ali Khudhair Jaber AlRikabiThe halogen drying characteristics of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch) slices were investigated. Drying experiments were carried out a three different drying temperatures (60, 70 and 80°C). The effect of drying temperature on the drying rate, drying coefficient, efficiency, effective diffusivity of the strawberry and antioxidant activity were evaluated. The best model for describing the halogen drying process was chosen by … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,370 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComparison and Parametric Study of Flameless Oxidation in a Gas Turbine Using Two Kinetics MechanismsMohamed Hamdi, Hmaïed Benticha, Mohamed SassiThe so-called "Flameless Oxidation" is a novel combustion mode, in which combustion products are re-circulated and mixed into the fresh incoming fuel and air streams. This reduces the concentration of the reactants and thereby reducing the reaction rate through avoiding the formation of sharp high temperature zones in the combustion chamber. Flameless combustion has been acknowledged as one of the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,957 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordModeling of Signal Generation Function and Electron Penetration Effects on the EBIC Signal of Schottky diodes of GeBeggah Yamina, Lahreche AbderezzekThe present study shows that simple forms for the generation functions, if connected to appropriate electronic path (electron range), can be successfully used to describe the collection efficiency in EBIC devices. Both uniform and point-like source generation functions are considered here and for which two phenomenological electronic paths, depending on the incident beam energy, are obtained.
