Abstract

Sun is the continuous source of renewable energy, from where we can get abundant of solar energy. Concept of conversionof solar energy into heat was used back in 200 B.C. since then, the solar cells have been developed which can convert solar energy into theelectrical energy and these systems have been produced commercially. The technologies to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE)have been continuously improved. Different technologies used for developing solar cells can be categorized either on the basis of materialused or techniques of technology development which is further termed as ‘first generation’ (e.g. crystalline silicon), ‘second generation’(thin films of Amorphous silicon, Copper indium gallium selenide, Cadmium telluride), ‘Third generation’ (Concentrated, Organic and Dyesensitize solar cell). These technologies give PCE up to 25% depending on the technology and the materials used. Nanotechnology enablesthe use of nanomaterial whose size is below 100 nm with extraordinary properties which has the capability to enhance the PCE to greaterextent. Various nanomaterials like Quantum Dots, Quantum well, carbon nanotubes, Nanowire and graphene have been used to makeefficient and economical solar cells, which not only provide high conversion efficiency economically but also are easy to produce. Today,by using nanotechnology, conversion efficiency up to 44.7 % has been achieved by Fraunhofer Institute at Germany. In this review article,we have reviewed the literature including various patents and publications, summarized the history of solar cell development, developmentof different technologies and rationale of their development highlighting the advantages and challenges involved in their development forcommercial purpose. We have also included the recent developments in solar cell research where different nanomaterials have beendesigned and used successfully to prove their superiority over conventional systems.

Abstract

Designing thin film solar cells with high and stable output performance under different operating points remains a large area of research. In the context of Chalcopyrite-based solar cells (CuInxGa(1-x)Se2) where the buffer layer is CdS, great progress has been made but research is still underway to optimize their performance. Besides the environmental concerns and limiting factors of CdS material, the use or combination of new materials like ZnS, ZnSe and WS2 as a buffer layer is solicited. Due to these attracted optical and crystallographic properties, Tungsten Disulfide: WS2 is solicited during the last years. Through numerical simulation, we investigate in this work the dc parameters of CuInxGa(1-x)Se2/WS2 solar cell with reduced buffer layer thickness of 30 nm. Considering the presence of neutral and divalent defects in the absorber layer, simulations are performed under the impact of temperature, concentration of charge carriers in WS2 layer and light spectrum change. The divalent defects taken into account are: double donors / acceptors and amphoteric having a Gaussian distribution. For more calculation precision and in order to obtain the desired performance of the solar cell, the impact of series and shunt resistors is also considered. In comparison with results reported in previous works, carried out on the CuInxGa(1-x) Se2/WS2 solar cell, a remarkable improvement in the performance of the solar cell is achieved. When temperature increase by 10K, the short circuit current and  open circuit voltage are enhanced by ~0,05mA/cm2 and ~0,0022 respectively. The optimal values of the solar cell parameters obtained in this study are: Jsc≈ 31.0683 (mA/cm2), Voc=1.0173 (V), PCE = 26.72 % and FF=84.54%.

Abstract

Most solid electrolyte materials have not shown enough conductivity to be used as an electrolyte for a battery in electronic devices. The mixture of 1.5 Li2O and P2O5 has been reported to show a good conductivity higher than that of Li3PO4, which is thought to be due to phase mixtures that are formed during manufacturing process. Montmorillonite (MMT) was used to explore the effect of phase mixture on conductivity of new 1.5Li2O-P2O5-MMT solid electrolyte composite, which was prepared through conventional solid-state reaction procedures. This study was conducted, how the addition of MMT affects process of forming 1.5Li2O-P2O5-MMT compound, and whether it influences electrical properties and permittivity of compound. Morphology, hygroscopicity, and electrochemical characteristics of this material were analyzed in this study. The shape of glassy-like flakes was reduced in micrographs, and granular lumps were getting larger as MMT was added. Addition also tended to reduce hygroscopicity, as indicated by a reduced rate of porous absorption. Whole Nyquist plot consisted of only one imperfect semicircular arc, indicating only one relaxation process occurred in materials. Capacitance of all arcs indicated main contribution of response was from bulk material. Slope of dielectric loss of samples indicated that conduction in the samples was mainly dominated by dc conduction. MMT clays acted as a medium that absorbed liquid phase in solid-state reaction, increasing formation of dominant phase, which determined total conductivity of compound. Conductivity was higher than that of Li4P2O7, where the sample of 20 wt% MMT addition was most polarizable and most dielectric compound.

Abstract

Production of biodiesel is currently shifting from the first to the second generation inwhich the raw materials are mostly from non-edible type oils and fats. Biodiesel production iscommonly conducted under batch operation using mechanical agitation to accelerate masstransfers. The main drawback of oil esterification is the high content of free fatty acids (FFA) whichmay reduce the yield of biodiesel and prolong the production time (2-5 hours). Ultrasonificationhas been used in many applications such as component extraction due to its ability to producecavitation under certain frequency. This research is aimed to facilitate ultrasound system forimproving biodiesel production process particularly rubber seed oil. An ultrasound unit was usedunder constant temperature (40oC) and frequency of 40 Hz. The result showed that ultrasound canreduces the processing time and increases the biodiesel yield significantly. A model to describecorrelation of yield and its independent variables is yield (Y) = 43,4894 – 0,6926 X1 + 1,1807 X2 –7,1042 X3 + 2,6451 X1X2 – 1,6557 X1X3 + 5,7586 X2X3 - 10,5145 X1X2X3, where X1 is mesh sizes, X2ratio oil: methanol and X3 type of catalyst.

Abstract

This paper presents the techno-economic feasibility analysis of an on-grid Photovoltaic Solar System (PVSS) subject to Mediterranean climate aging effects. The PVSS under study is considered installed on the roof of Shymkent airport, located in southern Kazakhstan. A PVSS performance degradation rate of 1.48%-per-annun was considered according to the Mediterranean climate prevailing in the location. A 25-year life-cycle cost analysis comparing the rated vs. de-rated on-grid PVSS led to a positive Net Present Value (NPV), a less than 9-year equity payback, and favorable internal rate of return (IRR) and Benefit-to-Cost (B-C) ratio in both conditions. However, the de-rated PVSS system underperformed in 16.2%, 43.5% and 20% the IRR, NPV and B-C ratio, respectively. The analysis demonstrates that despite the expected performance degradation associated to climatic aging, a convenient feed-in tariff (FIT) and attractive financial conditions, such as those present in Kazakhstan, conform a robust setting to promote on-grid PVSS in the country.

Abstract

This paper presents a detailed analysis of a new method for improving energetic and exergetic efficiencies of single flash cycle. The thermodynamic process of the new method consists of extracting a fraction of hot wellhead geothermal brine for the purpose of superheating saturated steam entering the turbine. Computer programming scripts were developed and optimized based on mathematical proposed models for the different components of the systems. The operating parameters such as separator temperature, geofluid wellhead enthalpy and geothermal source temperature are varied to investigate their effects on both net power output and turbine exhaust quality of the systems. Also, full exergy assessment was performed for the new design. The results of separator temperature optimization revealed that specific net power output of the new design can be boosted up to 8% and turbine exhaust quality can be diminished up to 50% as compared to common single flash cycle. In addition, for wells with higher discharge enthalpy, superheating process improve specific net power output even up to 10%. Finally, it was observed that the overall system exergy efficiency was approximately raised 3%. Article History: Received January 5th 2016; Received in revised form June 25th 2016; Accepted July 3rd 2016; Available onlineHow to Cite This Article: Nazari, N. and Porkhial, S.

Abstract

This document presents a research article on the control of fluid flow around three heated square cylinders placed side by side in a 2D horizontal channel using a flat plate. The objective of this research is to examine the effect of the position, length and height of a flat plate on fluid flow and heat transfer. For this purpose, numerical simulations are performed by using the Boltzmann double relaxation time multiple network method (DMRT-LBM). The MRT-D2Q9 and MRT-D2Q5 models are used to treat the flow and temperature fields respectively. In contrast to several existing investigations in the literature in this domain which study the passive control of the flow using a horizontal or vertical plate around a single cylinder, this work presents a numerical study on the effect of the position, length and height of a flat plate (horizontal and vertical) on three heated square cylinders on the flow and temperature fields. First, the effect of the position and length of the horizontal flat plate is examined. This study shows that the implementation of a flat plate of length Lp = 4D at a position g=3 behind the central cylinder reduces the amplitude of the Von Karman Street and allows large and regular heat exchange.  Thus, in the second part, the effect of the position and height of the vertical flat plate is studied. The results obtained show that the implementation of a flat plate of height h=2D at a position g=3 behind the central cylinder improves the thermal exchange between the incoming fluid and the heated cylinders. This numerical work could lead to the prediction of the cooling of the electronic components: The cooling of the obstacles is all the better when the control plate is arranged at g = 3 and its height h = 2D in the case of the vertical plate or its length Lp equal to 4D in the case where the plate is implemented horizontally

Abstract

A novel nano-catalyst based on iron oxide (MnO2/Fe2O3) was developed to promote wet oxidation of phenol. MnO2 was doped in Fe2O3 matrix to prepare composite nano-catalyst with different doping percentage (0, 2 and 5%). The catalytic phenol oxidation was conducted under different reaction temperatures and residence times. To evaluate the optimal kinetic parameters aiming to maximize phenol removal under the optimal conditions for the catalytic wet phenol oxidation process, modeling was applied on the batch reactor using the novel synthesis nano-catalyst (MnO2/Fe2O3) and the model developed was fed with the experimental data. gPROMS package was used to model the process of phenol oxidation and to optimize the experimental data. The error predicted between the simulated and experimental data was less than 5%. The optimal operating conditions were 294 min residence time, 70oC reaction temperature, and 764 ppm initial concentration of phenol over the prepared 5% MnO2/Fe2O3. Running of wet oxidation of phenol under the optimal operating conditions resulted in 98% removal of phenol from refinery wastewater.

Abstract

This paper aims to investigate coal consumption and environmental sustainability in South Africa by examining the role of financial development and globalization by using a dataset covering the period from 1980 to 2017. The study utilized the Auto-regressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) approach in addition to the Bayer and Hank combined co-integration, fully modified Ordinary least squares (FMOLS), and Dynamic ordinary least Squares (DOLS). The study further utilized the frequency domain causality test to capture the causal linkage between the series. The advantage of the frequency domain causality is that it can capture causal linkages between series at different periods. The Bayer and Hanck co-integration and ARDL bounds tests reveal co-integration among the series. The empirical findings based on the ARDL long-run estimation reveal that a 1% increase in coal consumption increases environmental degradation by 1.077%, while a 1% increase in financial development decreases the environmental degradation by 0.973%. Furthermore, a 1% increase in economic growth decreases environmental quality by 1.449%. The outcomes of the FMOLS and DOLS approaches also provide supportive evidence for the ARDL long-run results. Furthermore, the results of the frequency domain causality test reveal that at a significance level of 1%, coal consumption Granger causes CO2 emissions at different frequencies, while financial development Granger causes CO2 emissions in the long run and short run at a significance level of 10%. In terms of policy suggestions, South Africa should embrace policies that encourage energy consumers to shift toward renewable energy. Furthermore, financial reforms should be implemented to curb environmental degradation
