A computer simulation model is presented for the analysis of a solar photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) hybrid collector with air as heat transfer fluid and algorithm for making quantitative prediction regarding the performance of the system is described. Thermal efficiency curves for the solar PV/T...

Energy demand for primary processing of rice in India has been assessed and feasibility of two renewable energy supply options evaluated. A model for obtaining least cost energy supply mix for a rice mill has been proposed.

This investigation is concerned with the performance analysis of a conventional hybrid photovoltaic/thermal air heating collector. A simulation model is developed and various performance parameters are calculated for single-glass and double-glass configurations. Results are presented to show the...

Some basic issues involved in providing energy engineering education at postgraduate level are briefly discussed. Salient features of a proposed teaching programme in energy engineering are described. Finally, suitable adaptation of the proposed course structure as per the existing three...
