Solar-weighted absorptivityTaguchi orthogonal arrayHeat transferThe performance of nanofluid-based solar collector depends on different factors like nanoparticle material, base fluid, mass fraction of nanoparticles, height of the collector, length of the......
Equation 8 can be generalized to non-ideal solar cells as well by introducing the Shockley-Queisser fraction fSQ:(Equation 9)ηh(Eg)=ηSTC(Eg)−3.4%eV·fSQ·(1.63eV−Eg).fSQ describes at which percentage of the Shockley-Queisser limit a solar cell operates and is given by the ratio...
The EQE was solar weighted and integrated (expressed as SWQE) over wavelengths by using the same equation as for SWR but with the integration over the 350-650 nm range for the top cell and over the 650–900 nm for the middle cell. The short circuit current density for each cell is ...
we performed absorption spectroscopy (Supplementary Fig.1), X-ray diffraction measurements on fresh and aged perovskite layers (Supplementary Fig.2), scanning electronic microscopy and atomic force microscopy measurements (Supplementary Fig.3). While these measurements do not rule out changes in...
It was discovered that the biggest and smallest difference between the experimental (for both cavities), theoretical and simulated g-values were related to the reflective neutral silver glass (with the highest absorption) and the colorless glass (with the lowest absorption), respectively. The more ...
We review the properties of solar convection that are directly observable at the solar surface, and discuss the relevant underlying physics, concentrating
The MSF unit was coupled to a nanofluid-based direct absorption solar collector with the help of a counter-flow heat exchanger. Moreover, they investigated the variations in GOR and TBT caused by parameters such as the collector’s height and length, nanoparticle volume fraction and incident ...
Li and Sumathy [22] evaluated a solar powered absorption air-conditioning system with a partitioned hot water storage tank. The system used 38 m2 of solar flat-plate collectors in parallel array to drive an absorption chiller that used LiBr-H2O, with a cooling capacity of 4.7 kW. The ...

The cosmic ray ions lose a small fraction of their energy and must suffer many of these atomic collisions before slowing down. On rare occasions the cosmic ray ion will collide with the nucleus of an air molecule in which large energies are exchanged and the ion and nucleus are dramatically ...
