Abstract: The evolution of public transit modes has been remarkable, fueled by the need for different transit modes to handle different demand levels, urban environment patterns, and natural constraints and barriers. One of these ...

Abstract: Real-world applications of conventional public transport technologies in urban areas might not always be feasible due to several factors that are not necessarily attributed to passenger demand, such as the very high capital ...

Abstract: Theoretical and experimental investigations on an unglazed solar hot water heater with integrated storage system were conducted. The system was comprised of a collector and storage tank which was integrated into one unit. ...

Abstract: A solar energy heat collector was combined with photovoltaic cells to form one single hybrid energy generating unit. This system produces both thermal and electrical energies simultaneously. An experimental setup of a ...

Abstract: A high-performance solar collector suitable for a solar-assisted drying system was designed, fabricated, and tested. Solar-assisted drying systems consist of the solar collector array, auxiliary heater, drying chamber, and ...

Abstract: A hybrid photovoltaic-thermal (PV/T) solar air heater system which generates both electricity and heat energy simultaneously was studied. This hybrid system consists of monocrystalline silicon cells pasted to an absorber ...
