Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional thermal modeling of a photovoltaic module under varying conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a thermal model to simulate the thermal performance of PV modules with and without cooling, which was sequentially coupled with a radiation model and an electrical model to calculate the electrical performance of the PV panels.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the feasibility of community-scale photovoltaic-powered reverse osmosis desalination systems for remote locations
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of photovoltaic-powered reverse osmosis (PVRO) systems for small, remote communities in challenging environments is evaluated by comparing the cost of water from a PV-ROS system with the costs of water obtained using conventional diesel-powered ROS.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of die failure mechanisms in aluminum extrusion
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of an ongoing study about the relationship between die profile and modes of die failure, in which a total of 616 die failures involving 17 different die profiles were studied, in collaboration with a local industrial setup.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical prediction of plastic deformation and residual stresses induced by laser shock processing
TL;DR: In this article, a finite difference algorithm is used to simulate propagation of a stress wave in the material and a finite element module is explicitly coupled at each time step to predict deformation and stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser welding of low carbon steel and thermal stress analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the residual stress developed in the welding region is measured using the XRD technique and the results are compared with the predictions using optical microscopy and the SEM for the metallurgical examination of the welding sites.
