Book Synopsis Solar Water Heating by : Khalil Kassimi
Download or read book Solar Water Heating written by Khalil Kassimi and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2021 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book proposes the development of solar water heating applications. The theme is topical since it is linked not only to its economic advantages, but above all to considerations relating to environmental protection. Indeed, the operation of water heating systems, industrial or domestic, by this solar energy, is characterized by the absence of polluting discharges (fumes containing CO2 and Nox), radioactive dangers and bulky waste (nuclear center). Overall, this book deals with the description of solar energy sources (thermal and photovoltaic), the structures of innovative water heating systems by these energy sources, the thermal and electrical modeling of water heating and the estimation of the yields of the different proposed systems. The proposed knowledge makes it possible to discover the field of renewable energy and to have knowledge of the applications of innovative solar heating systems currently marketed or under development in research laboratories. Also, it allows young researchers, doctoral students, academics and engineers to innovate in the field of solar energy and to develop efficient and hybrid solar water heating systems (thermal and photovoltaic energies). The experimental results, numerical simulations and economic studies proposed will be used by design offices to size and propose the appropriate installations for industrial and domestic applications"--

Book Synopsis Solar Heating Systems for Houses by : Werner Weiss
Download or read book Solar Heating Systems for Houses written by Werner Weiss and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2003-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of solar collectors for domestic hot water over the past 20 years has demonstrated that solar heating systems are now founded on a reliable and mature technology. However, the development of similar, but more complex, systems to provide both domestic hot water and space heating (solar combisystems) resulted in a diverse range of different designs that were not carefully optimized to reflect local climate and practice. Application of energy-efficient building strategies such as improved thermal insulation and use of low temperature heat supply systems is becoming increasingly common. This trend, combined with growing environmental awareness and the subsidies available in certain countries, favours an increase in market share for solar combisystems. The need for guidelines in selecting the appropriate system and designing this system according to the specific needs of the building and the local environment is therefore now increasingly pressing. This book fills that need.

Download or read book Solar Energy written by Arno Smets and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad overview on the different aspects of solar energy, with a focus on photovoltaics, which is the technology that allows light energy to be converted into electric energy. Renewable energy sources have become increasingly popular in recent years, and solar is one of the most adaptable and attractive types – from solar farms to support the National Grid to roof panels/tiles used for solar thermal heating systems, and small solar garden lights. Written by Delft University researchers, Solar Energy uniquely covers both the physics of photovoltaic (PV) cells and the design of PV systems for real-life applications, from a concise history of solar cells components and location issues of current systems. The book is designed to make this complicated subject accessible to all, and is packed with fascinating graphs and charts, as well as useful exercises to cement the topics covered in each chapter. Solar Energy outlines the fundamental principles of semiconductor solar cells, as well as PV technology: crystalline silicon solar cells, thin-film cells, PV modules, and third-generation concepts. There is also background on PV systems, from simple stand-alone to complex systems connected to the grid. This is an invaluable reference for physics students, researchers, industrial engineers and designers working in solar energy generation, as well those with a general interest in renewable energy.

Book Synopsis Market Evaluation Study: Solar Domestic Water Heaters for DOD Barracks by :
Download or read book Market Evaluation Study: Solar Domestic Water Heaters for DOD Barracks written by and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the potential market for solar domestic hot water systems in DOD bachelor enlisted and bachelor officer quarters (barracks). The number and locations of existing and planned bachelor enlisted and bachelor officer quarters in the United States are analyzed, and the locations where solar domestic water heating is most feasible are determined. Life-cycle costs of providing solar domestic water heating systems are analyzed and the DOD market potential for these systems determined for varying system costs. The results of more than 120 one-year solar hot water heating system simulations are presented along with a dimensionless graph and methodology which can be used to estimate solar hot water heater performance for building loads and sites other than those studied. The potential markets for solar collectors based on varying system costs are presented. Results indicate that at an anticipated future system cost of $9/sq ft ($97/sq m) of collector the probable market for solar collectors is 4.4 million sq ft (409 000 sq m). Over a 20-year life, the potential savings resulting from application of this collector area is estimated to be 4.5 million barrels of fuel and $29 million. (Author).
