And Performance

A detachable, automotive solar system for water and passenger compartment heating is developed. The study shows that an adjustable 1 m2 solar collector is sufficient to satisfy the needs of a small group during a short camping trip in Saudi Arabia desert. Also it is found that an adequate water temperature in the storage tank, due to ambient solar heating, is maintained in all cold months, except December when it is insufficient. Among the advantages of the system is its entire operation on renewable solar energy and its ability to heat the car compartment whenever the heated water reaches the required temperature and solar energy is still available.

The energy demand of buildings represents in the balance of heat use and heat consumption of energy complex in the Slovak national economy second largest savings potential. Their complex energy demands is the sum of total investment input to ensure thermal protection and annual operational demands of particular energy systems during their lifetime in building. The application of energy systems based on thermal solar systems reduces energy consumption and operating costs of building for support heating and domestic hot water as well as savings of non-renewable fossil fuels. Correctly designed solar energy system depends on many characteristics, i. e. appropriate solar collector area and tank volume, collector tilt and orientation as well as quality of used components. The evaluation of thermal solar system components by calculation software shows how can be the original thermal solar system improved by means of performance. The system performance can be improved of more than 31 % than in given system by changing four thermal solar system parameters such as heat loss coefficient and aperture area of used solar collector, storage tank volume and its height and diameter ratio.

On the base of the two classical thermodynamic cycles (Kalina cycle and Rankine cycle), solar-boosted Kalina system (Kalina solar system) and solar-boosted Rankine system (Rankine solar system) with traditional nonconcentrating flat plate solar collector (FPSC) and evacuated tube solar collector (ETSC) are investigated in the present paper. The proposed solar systems are considered to be the hybrid of power generation subcycle and solar collector subcycle. Their electricity generating performances are compared under their respective optimal operating conditions to clarify which one is more competitive in solar utilization. Results show that ETSC is the better choice for the both solar systems. Further, the performance comparison shows that the low-temperature solar energy utilized in Kalina cycle is predominant to generate electricity. Meanwhile, the study also find that mass flow rate of the power generation subcycle, mass flow rate of the solar collector subcycle, mass fraction of ammonia and the regenerator performance are important operational parameters for high performance of the Kalina solar system. Finally, with the aid of the weather conditions of Kumejima Island in Japan, the perceptual knowledge for Kalina solar system by using an application case is shown in the paper.

The simulation analysis of the solar hot water preparation system for an apartment building is presented. The analyses investigated the effect of climatic conditions on the efficiency of the solar system. To demonstrate the influence of climatic conditions, four building locations (Stockholm, Prague, Milan, and Barcelona), six different solar collectors, and six different design areas of solar collector field were used. The aim was to verify how the efficiency of the solar system varies depending on the climatic and design conditions. Moreover, the influence of year-to-year fluctuations of climatic conditions was also explored. The analysis has been provided by using TRNSYS simulation software over the period of one year using the time step of 2 minutes. The simulation results clearly showed that the efficiency of the SDHW system is dependent on the climatic conditions, especially on the air temperature. On the other hand, year-to-year weather fluctuations do not strongly affect the efficiency of the SDHW system.

In this research, the performance of a moving solar system on two axes was studied, the east-west axis, this axis represents the tilt angle of the solar collector. The other movement is the surface's rotation around the perpendicular axis on the surface in the east and west directions, which in turn represents the azimuth angle of the solar collector. All possibilities for these movements were also studied, in order to reach the optimal option, which in turn depends on the importance of alication and the available space on the one hand, and the economic conditions on the other hand. The maximum value of solar radiation intensity was adopted as a guide to compare the performance of six options for tracking systems. Despite the high costs of tracking systems, they often have a positive economic return, as these systems increase the efficiency of the solar system, whether it is electric or thermal twice, the first one by increasing the intensity of the solar radiation incident on the solar collector, and the second one by increasing the optical efficiency of the solar collectors and thus increasing the overall efficiency of the device. The percentage of increase in the sixth type of solar energy is about 38% compared to the fixed mode. The minimum optical efficiency of the dual tracking mode has been found as 84%, while for fixed mode is about 48%.

An article describes the development and practical application of control unit of the solar plant, located in Almaty city (Kazakhstan). Such system envisages using an electrical pump for circulation in the transfer medium, connecting a flat plate solar collector with a tank. There has been developed a controller for solar system management, able to control the solar thermal system’s current temperature. With the aim thereof in the proposed system the measurements are carried out from 6 digitizers (DS18B20 Dallas), using 16 wires. Using Dallas sensors and corresponding software it is possible to control the temperature level and heat amount. Usage of 4 digital sensors substantially increase the system control performance and raises data processing speed. There have been considered the possibilities of the configuration of the senstors for Arduino platforms, as well, the solar collector management scheme. This paper scientifically analyzes the work of the new controller for controlling the solar thermal system using 6 digital temperature sensors using the Arduino platform to determine the control of the entire solar thermal system.

Origin Of The Moon

The difference between average densities of the Moon and Earth was interpreted in the preceding report by Professor H. Urey as indicating a difference in their chemical composition. Therefore, Urey assumes the Moon's formation to have taken place far away from the Earth, under conditions differing substantially from the conditions of Earth's formation. In such a case, the Earth should have captured the Moon. As is admitted by Professor Urey himself, such a capture is a very improbable event. In addition, an assumption that the “lunar” dimensions were representative of protoplanetary bodies in the entire solar system encounters great difficulties.

During the last 10 years, the writer has presented evidence indicating that the Moon was captured by the Earth and that the large collisions with its surface occurred within a surprisingly short period of time. These observations have been a continuous preoccupation during the past years and some explanation that seemed physically possible and reasonably probable has been sought.

It is perhaps one of the most important characteristics of the past decade in astronomy that the evolution of some major classes of astronomical objects has become accessible to detailed research. The theory of the evolution of individual stars has developed into a substantial body of quantitative investigations. The evolution of galaxies, particularly of our own, has clearly become a subject for serious research. Even the history of the solar system, this close-by intriguing puzzle, may soon make the transition from being a subject of speculation to being a subject of detailed study in view of the fast flow of new data obtained with new techniques, including space-craft.
