Two relatively simple, single-particle coal combustion models are developed and used to predict the extent of heterogeneous combustion during rapid devolatilization. The first model uses the flame sheet approximation while the second employs finite gas-phase reaction rates. Both models predict...

Analytical expressions for the electrical efficiencies (ηm) of building integrated opaque photovoltaic thermal (BIOPVT) systems based on thin film photovoltaic (PV) modules have been derived. The expressions are valid for different climatic conditions and different design parameters of the...

A review of recent research that has been undertaken on the design and development of various solar distillation systems is reported. A techno-economic analysis is carried out to measure the cost of effectiveness of various distillation systems.
