Drying of materials is an important and essential mechanism during the production process
in industries. Drying fruits and vegetables is an ancient method used for food preservation …

Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been widely used for thermal analysis of heat
exchangers during the last two decades. In this paper, the applications of ANN for thermal …

The high energy costs and environmental factors in energy systems cause pushed
researchers to produce both heat and electricity from a single collector. In this context …

Photovoltaic power generation is gradually developing into a massive power industry with
the maturity of renewable energy power generation technologies. Photovoltaic power …

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are popular for their reliability and zero fuel costs. However, only
around 20% of solar energy is converted into electricity, while the remainder is dissipated as …

Due to strong increase of solar power generation, the predictions of incoming solar energy
are acquiring more importance. Photovoltaic and solar thermal are the main sources of …
