A new three-zone heat extraction system and its analytical model for maximizing the thermal power output of salt gradient solar ponds against a given volume is proposed. The present study considers internal heat exchangers ...

A turbid solar pond is investigated to study how turbidity in the insulating zone affects the optimum dimensions of the pond, that suit a concerned design criterion. Four different criteria for the optimization have been ...

This paper presents useful energy (gas and power) production from the three waste biomass (dried grass, leaves, and dead branches) through gasification technology. These waste biomasses were collected in the Indian ...

A box-type solar cooker supplemented with a sensible heat storage medium (for nocturnal cooking) has been analytically investigated. Unlike other available analytical studies where the relevant time interval is divided ...

Currency recognition has always been a troublesome task for blind and visually impaired people (BVIP). The problem is more severe in developing countries such as India, where there is still a lack of robust currency ...

A solar pond from which thermal energy is extracted from its non-convective zone (NCZ), lower convective zone (LCZ) and the ground below is modelled in transient state. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that heat ...

In this paper, the concept of heat extraction from the gradient zone (GZ) in solar ponds has been analyzed in a more realistic manner to overcome the drawbacks of previously conducted studies. For this purpose, a net ...

In the present work, an improved expression of the radiative intensity decay in solar ponds is proposed through an equivalent absorption coefficient calculated using Beer-Lambert's law. Based on the improved expression, ...

This study carries a generalized model-based constrained analysis to optimise the wall profile of a solar pond. For this analysis, different profiles are studied which include linear, concave parabolic and convex parabolic ...
