Abstract: One of the noted benefits of concentrating photovoltaics (PV) is the reduced cell area which results in reduction of the overall system cost. A variety of studies have looked at the cost for concentrating PV systems and ...

Abstract: The current state of the art in waste heat recovery (WHR) from internal combustion engines (ICEs) is limited in part by the low temperature of the engine coolant. In the present study, the effects of operating a diesel ...

Abstract: During a one-hour interval while a mountain cumulus cloud system was developing into a cumulonimbus, in a light wind condition over an isolated peak, a series of 17 traverses was made through the clouds by an instrumented ...

Abstract: The development of advanced single-engine aircraft with reduced stability and “Fly-by-Wire” control systems requires the provision of emergency hydraulic and electrical power from a stored energy ...

Abstract: A detailed size calibration of the Forward Scattering Spectrometer Probe (FSSP) over the size ranges of interest to cloud physics (2?47 ?m), is presented. The calibration includes laboratory tests with glass spheres, Mie ...

Abstract: A cumulus cloud was seeded by an aircraft flying 1780 meters below cloud base. An observation plane spiraled up through the cloud base and made replicas of the cloud particles while recording pressure altitude, temperature, ...

Abstract: An energy balance is formulated for the crop layer which is influenced by the practice of heating. With steady state assumed, this energy balance equation is solved to indicate the required heat input to maintain the crop ...
