Beschreibung
This book discusses topics such as solar energy, heat transfer, solar cell and photovoltaic module, greenhouse-integrated semi-transparent photovoltaic thermal (GiSPVT) system for agriculture and aquaculture, GiSPVT solar dryer, and PVT water and air collector for water heating, air heating, biogas heating and swimming pool heating, etc. The book also discusses energy matrices, including EPBT, EPF, and LCCE. It includes pedagogical elements such as exercises, tables, and figures including problems and objective questions at the end of each chapter. Further, it includes the unit conversion from FPS system to SI unit of each parameter, namely length, energy, power, velocity, pressure force, etc., and some standard constants used in examples. Quasi steady state and periodic modeling of PVT technology described in the book is a useful reference for students, researchers, and academicians to design solar energy-based technology.
Autorenporträt
Prof. Gopal Nath Tiwari (G. N. Tiwari) hails from Sagarpali, Ballia, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. After completing his basic primary education from Ballia, he moved to Varanasi for higher education and completed his studies from Banaras Hindu University (BHU). Later, he joined IIT Delhi in the year 1977 under the mentorship of Padma Shri Prof. Mahendra Singh Sodha, who introduced Prof. Tiwari to solar energy research. Prof. Tiwari was superannuated in June 2016. To his credit, he has published more than 700 research papers with h-index of 100 and supervised more than 100 Ph.D. students. After superannuation, he moved back to his hometown Ballia to implement the work done at IIT Delhi and provide basic education to nearby children through BERS PUBLIC SCHOOL. He has also established a SODHA ENRGY RESEARCH PARK at Margupur in Ballia (UP), to impart energy education to locals.
