After introducing the basic aspects of the photoelectrochemical processes for the oxygen transfer reaction, we present the simplest kinetics models that have been built to represent the dynamics of light-induced redox reactions. Additionally, we discuss the basic chemical kinetics formalism used...

This work investigates the performance of a conventional steam power plant retrofitted with a solar-assisted regenerative system using Parabolic Trough Solar Collectors (PTC). The solar collectors were used to compensate for the effect of removing Low-Pressure (LP) turbine extractions without...

Solar energy is vast, abundant, cost free, green renewable source of energy. Due to the aforementioned qualities, the world is today researching and exploring the most feasibly optimized way of harnessing this energy and solar tracking system is a result of this quest. This paper begins with a...

Improving the efficiency and sustainability of water treatment technologies is crucial to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution. Solar-driven devices have the potential to supply off-grid areas with freshwater through a sustainable approach. Passive desalination driven by solar...

The aim of this project is to design a solar thermal absorption air conditioning system that operates under UAE climate conditions. In absorption system, compressor which is normally used in conventional AC system, replaced by a chemical cycle that consists of a generator, absorber, pump, and...

Indonesia is a country located on the equator and is a tropical country that has two climates namely rainy and sunny. Indonesia has a long solar radiation intensity time that started from 8 AM until 16 PM, which the effective time is along 5 h on peak solar time. The calculation of solar...

In this study, the environmental behavior was characterized for a 840 Wp building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system installed in the Department of Physics of the Faculty of Sciences at the National University of Colombia, Bogota campus. The methodology focused on the application of the...

We have investigated the photoemission and electronic properties at the PTCDI molecules interface on TiO2 and ZnO semiconductor by means of charge transition. A simple donor acceptor scenario used to calculate the rate for electron transfer of delocalized electronics in a non-degenerately TiO2...

In this article, a comparative analysis is made between three statistical methods (Taguchi's Orthogonal Array Testing method, Monte Carlo and Two-Point method) by integrating the uncertainty of primary sources of renewable generation in systems of electric power. The modeling of the Institute of...

Sustainable biomass exploitation for combined heat and power (CHP) generation is fundamental to address concerns about climate changes related to energy conversion systems. The aim of the work is to design a power plant able to satisfy energy demands exclusively through renewable resources. A...
