Orbital dynamics of "smart dust" devices with solar radiation pressure and drag [PDF]
, 2011 This paper investigates how perturbations due to asymmetric solar radiation pressure, in the presence of Earth shadow, and atmospheric drag can be balanced to obtain long-lived Earth centred orbits for swarms of micro-scale 'smart dust' devices, without ...

Computation of irradiance in a solar still by using a refined algorithm [PDF]
, 2013 A refined solar algorithm from the ESP-r system has been used to calculate the distribution of solar irradiation inside a basin-type solar still. In the approach, surface finish, view factors and multiple reflections are taken into consideration in the ...
