    Experimental setup of the integrated parabolic trough collector (PTC) with solar still was developed. PTC was designed considering the solar geometry and the physical laws of parabolic shape and the concentrators. Test were conducted at the location with latitude 19.9975ON and longitude 73.7898OE. Theoretical analysis was done using ray tracing and engineering equation solver (EES) software while designing the system. PTC system was developed with dimensions of 1.5 m length, 1 m width and a concentration ratio (CR) of 21.22. Theoretical thermal efficiency was predicted as 48.1% whereas experimental average thermal efficiency is observed as 42.76%. The observed temperature difference between the vapor and the glass cover is about 17 °C and between ambient air and vapor is about 24.4 °C. Maximum water temperature in the conventional solar still was 64.6 °C where as for the PTC coupled solar still was 74.4 °C. PTC coupled solar still is having averagely 37% higher production rate. This has definitely added an advantage because of the higher energy absorption rate compared with the conventional solar still. PTC coupled solar still system has nearly 35% more heat absorption. Total embodied energy of the system is around 896.875 kWh. Total capital cost of the system is Rs. 41300/-. Total annual output of pure water is around 3 L/Day. Estimated energy payback period is around 2.29 years and the total carbon credit earned is Rs. 2165.38 per year.

  • Design and Analysis of Ventilation System for Closed Poultry House in Tropical Climate Conditions
    Kapil A. Saner and Sanjay P. Shekhawat
    Journal of World's Poultry Research
    The climate significantly impacts the temperature in different parts of the world. A moderate environment makes it simple to construct a chicken farm. Nevertheless, raising the birds in tropical places where typical temperatures can exceed 40-45°C is difficult because they can only survive at temperatures between 30°C and 35°C. As a result, the current study aimed to design a chicken house with a ventilation and cooling system to prevent excessive heat. The effectiveness of ventilation systems in maintaining liveable and constant conditions at the chicken house was assessed using computational fluid dynamics modeling to mimic internal and external airflows. In this study, a water evaporator-based cooling system and an exhaust fan-based ventilation system were built within a poultry house. ANSYS CFD was utilized to create the design and examine the flow of the model. The findings of each model were generated individually, and these results were compared to those of the other models to determine which model could decrease the temperature within the chicken coop. The proposed model's maximum temperature was around 30-32°C. A poultry house can be constructed using this idea to maintain chickens at a suitable temperature range of 30-32°C.

    To monitor the performance of solar systems solar insolation is need to measure. Measuring instrument used for the measurement has very high cost and uncertainty involved is higher. Availability of such instruments in the rural area is again a challenge. This paper discusses results of developed NARX ANN model. This model will use for forecasting the solar insolation falling on the surface of the solar system developed. Many studies are going on in nearby areas of North Maharashtra University and the College of Engineering Bambhori. SSBT College of Engineering has installed solar PV with capacity 200 kW. Performance of this system is required to be monitor and identify the maintenance need. For this purpose it is necessary to know all sky solar insolation falling on the system. ANN prediction model developed which has MSE (Mean squared error) 0.01553. The regression coefficient observed was 0.9399, 0.899 and 0.880 for training, validation and testing. The overall regression coefficient was 0.92 thus the model has a good predictability and useful for predicting the solar insolation and it would be easy to monitor the performance of a installed PV plant.

    To analyze any solar systems it is important to have an information regarding average solar radiation falling on the surface. Solar radiation measurement cost is high as well as its maintenance is difficult to manage in the rural areas. Present work represents the results neural network modeling for an estimation of average solar radiation in the rural areas of Jalgaon city located in INDIA. Model was developed with back propagation algorithm Levenberg-Marquardt (LM). Available metrological data from the year 1995 to 2019 (March) from the data source of the NASA. Performance characterization was obtained from the developed ANN model with error analysis as RMSE, MAPE and the regression value R. It is observed from the statistical analysis that R2 coefficient is close to 0.9 and the MAPE is 1.78. Thus the developed model has good conformity with the calculated values and model is useful for predicting Direct Normal Irradiance which would serve the energy analysis of the solar systems especially for rural applications.
