Modeling and Design of a Solar Rotary Dryer Bench Test for Phosphate Sludge
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 As an eco‐friendlier way to manage mining waste, the use of solar energy to dry phosphate sludge in a rotary dryer is envisioned. As a first step toward this end, a design study for a bench‐scale rotary dryer for phosphate sludge is detailed, using a one‐dimensional mathematical model developed for this task. Using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES)

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 644-658, October 2021., 2021 Abstract In the glaciated mountains of the Upper Indus Basin of Pakistan, glacier‐ and snowmelt‐ based irrigation systems have been established over several centuries to secure water for cultivation. However, these systems are now facing several challenges, being sensitive to climate change and thus exposed to the resulting extreme events such as ...

New Strategies and Simulation Tools to Optically Design a Field of Heliostats
International Journal of Photoenergy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 A heliostats field is an array of mirrors concentrating the solar power on a receiver, typically placed on a tower. Our research experience in the optical design of heliostats fields for Concentrating Solar Power plants suggested using apposite simulation procedures, which were especially developed to simplify the reproduction of heliostats fields and ...

Tips and Tricks for a Good Encapsulation for Perovskite‐Based Solar Cells
Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 551-559, April 2025.Encapsulation materials for perovskite solar cells were explored, focusing on their ability to block moisture, endure high temperatures, and maintain mechanical stability. Ionomer encapsulant combined with a butyl edge seal provides strong moisture resistance but leads to delamination during thermal cycling, whereas polyolefin with butyl offers a ...
