Abstract: The performance evaluation of a natural convection solar dryer is a complex one because of the transient and non-linear nature of atmospheric conditions. In this comparative study, a smart neural network -based tool was ...

Abstract: The performance of the solar photovoltaic (PV) module is more sensitive to its operating temperature. A PV module with a cooling system produces higher electrical power output than a PV module without a cooling system. In ...

Abstract: In this study, experimental attempts were made to reduce exhaust gas toxic emissions from the spark ignition (SI) engine. For this, a sucrose catalyst is coated inside the metallic substrate. The obtained emission level ...

Abstract: A new photovoltaic thermal air (PVTa) system with fins in the downstream portion of the air channel was tested for its thermal and electrical performance in this work. For this purpose, two fin configurations were opted. ...

Abstract: This study attempts to illustrate the benefits of integrating the concepts of machine learning algorithms with the field of thermo-fluidic applications. The current work is aimed at identifying effective or significant ...

Abstract: In recent years, solar PV/T water collectors have been identified as one of the most promising hybrid devices. It is a combination of solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar flat plate collector (FPC) systems capable of generating ...
