Download or read book Rare earth Oxide Radiators for Thermo photovoltaic Energy Conversion written by Guido E. A. Guazzoni and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental analysis is presented with the objective of finding selectively radiating materials with high spectral emissivity in a narrow wavelength band centered about the region of maximum response of the germanium and silicon thermophotovoltaic cells and low emissivity elsewhere in the spectrum. A group of rare-earth oxides (Er2O3, Sm2O3, Nd2O3, Dy2O3, and Yb2O3) has been studied. Their emission spectra have been obtained and evaluated in terms of total radiation measurements and short-circuit current output of germanium and silicon cells. In terms of the evaluated performance parameters, all the rare-earth oxides which were examined showed a significant spectral improvement compared with silicon carbide (gray body) and black-body reference sources. Er2O3 and Yb2O3 give the most promise as improved radiators for application in thermophotovoltaic energy conversion. (Author).

Download or read book Advanced Power Generation Systems written by Yatish T. Shah and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Power Generation Systems: Thermal Sources evaluates advances made in heat-to-power technologies for conventional combustion heat and nuclear heat, along with natural sources of geothermal, solar, and waste heat generated from the use of different sources. These advances will render the landscape of power generation significantly different in just a few decades. This book covers the commercial viability of advanced technologies and identifies where more work needs to be done. Since power is the future of energy, these technologies will remain sustainable over a long period of time. Key Features Covers power generation and heat engines Details photovoltaics, thermo-photovoltaics, and thermoelectricity Includes discussion of nuclear and renewable energy as well as waste heat This book will be useful for advanced students, researchers, and professionals interested in power generation and energy industries.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 1126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is written in the belief that people are important and that equipment is to serve the needs of the people and therefore should be designed to meet their specific needs and environment. This is particularly important in the case of a developing country when a professional engineer accepts the responsibility to formulate policies evaluate equipment imple ment projects and train national people. 1. Government, geography and climate Papua New Guinea, an independent and self governing state since 1975, is located directly North of Australia above the North Eastern State of Queensland. The country extends from 141° east longitude, at the border with Indonesia (Irian Jaya) to 160° east longitude and between latitudes 1° and 12° south (see figure 1). Papua New Guinea is a parliamentary democracy, with a single legis lature known as the National Parliament (1). The State is divided into 19 provinces plus the National Capital District (Port Moresby) with de centralized Government established in each province. Before independence the country comprised the Australian territory of Papua in the southern regions and the United Nations Trust Territory of New Guinea in the North (1). Land area is 462,840 square kilometres This inclUdes the mainland, the three large islands of New Britain, ~ew Ireland and fiougainville plus 600 small islands and archipelagos. Approximate direct distances from the capital city of Port Moresby to some of the other centres are : Vanimo 990 km, Rabaul SOO km, Arawa 990 km and Lorengau S25 km.

Download or read book Thermophotovoltaic Generation of Electricity written by Timothy J. Coutts and published by American Inst. of Physics. This book was released on 2003-02-06 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The conference included various aspects of thermophotovoltaics, including systems, emitters, and cells. Key papers also dealt with TPV modules, recovery of high-temperature industrial waste heat, stand-alone gas furnaces, and military applications. TPV operates on the same physical principles as photovoltaics. However, it uses infrared radiation rather than light from the sun. TPV may be envisaged as a means of conservation of energy, as stand-alone item for some specific purpose (such as military applications), or in the domestic arena.
