The need of renewable energy sources due to climate change and thus the search for clean energy sources, justify the growing investment on new types of solar collectors. The research has contributed to this expansion in ...

Solar heaters are an appropriate technology in tropical and sub-tropical climates to heat bath water by solar energy. Low-cost solar heaters meet the demand of low-income rural communities which currently do not have access ...

Research in energy generation using renewable sources has gained importance due to the adverse effects of fossil fuels on the environment and because the utilization of biomass to produce energy has great advantages due ...

The use of solar technologies should proliferate in Chile as half of the country has a solar irradiance (GHI) above 5 kWh/(m(2)d). Moreover, the Atacama Desert exhibits further advantageous conditions with 7 kWh/(m(2)d), ...

In this work, we present the results of an analytical, numerical, and experimental analysis on the performance of a heat sink system designed as a parallel arrangement of microchannels for cooling a high-concentration ...
