Journal ArticleDOI
Overview of combustion and gasification of rice husk in fluidized bed reactors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of previous works on combustion and gasification of rice husk in atmospheric bubbling fluidized bed reactors and summarizes the state of the art knowledge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of integrated photovoltaic–wind power generation systems with battery storage
TL;DR: In this article, a new method for optimization of a wind-PV integrated hybrid system is presented based on deficiency of power supply probability (DPSP), relative excess power generated (REPG), unutilized energy probability (UEP), life cycle cost (LEC), levelized energy cost (LUC), and life cycle unit cost of power generation with battery bank, the method addresses a specific location and employs an iterative scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of nanofluids in solar water heater
Elumalai Natarajan,R. Sathish +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed and compared the heat transfer properties of the nanofluids with the conventional fluids, and found that the nanoparticles change the transport properties and heat transfer characteristics of the base fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI

V. Shanmugam,Elumalai Natarajan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an indirect forced convection and desiccant integrated solar dryer is designed and fabricated to investigate its performance under the hot and humid climatic conditions of Chennai, India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental determination of bed agglomeration tendencies of some common agricultural residues in fluidized bed combustion and gasification
TL;DR: In this paper, the initial agglomeration temperature for some common tropical agricultural residues were experimentally determined by using a newly developed method based on the controlled fluidized bed aggliomeration test, and the agricultural residues chosen for the study were rice husk, bagasse, cane trash and olive flesh.
