Solar thermal collector system modeling and testing for novel solar cooker
Solar cookers are aimed at reducing pollution and desertification in the developing world. However, they are often disregarded as they do not give users the ability to cook after daylight hours. The Wilson solar cooker is a solar cooker designed to address this problem by converting solar energy …

Modelling and Experimental Characterization of Solar-Assisted Ground Source Heat Pump Systems with and without Thermal Energy Storage for Cold Climates
… than cooling loads, which makes the amount of thermal energy extracted from the ground each year greater than the heat injected back. This can potentially cause ground temperature decline, gradual performance reduction and possibly eventual failure. The associated ground thermal imbalance and …

Molecular-level interphase design for sustainable batteries
… chemically active but mechanically passive photothermal powered device consists of a solar thermal collector interphase with a porous alumina reservoir for Li, which in turn is in interphase with a thin layer of ion-sieving metal organic framework (MOF) separator fed from a solution containing …

Low-Concentrating, Stationary Solar Thermal Collectors for Process Heat Generation
The annual gain of stationary solar thermal collectors can be increased by non-focusing reflectors. Such concentrators make use of diffuse irradiance. A collector’s incidence angle modifier for diffuse (diffuse-IAM) accounts for this utilization. The diffuse irra-diance varies over the collector …
