Modeling Approach for Different Solar PV System: A Review

Abstract: Renewable energy sources have played a vital role in the production of electricity due to its reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable configuration. Many sources have been installed due to their different operating characteristics and climatic conditions. Researchers have also found numerous experimental areas in order to achieve better system performance under the influence of different parameters. In power generation solar energy has been taken as renewable energy source due to its enhanced clean and green technologies and to fulfill energy shortages of any country. This paper has been dealt with different modeling approaches under different climatic conditions like solar irradiance and temperature. Review of different types of solar PV cell architecture has been presented with their entire characteristics.

An Optimal Derivative Free Family of Chebyshev–Halley’s Method for Multiple Zeros

Abstract: In this manuscript, we introduce the higher-order optimal derivative-free family of Chebyshev–Halley’s iterative technique to solve the nonlinear equation having the multiple roots. The designed scheme makes use of the weight function and one parameter α to achieve the fourth-order of convergence. Initially, the convergence analysis is performed for particular values of multiple roots. Afterward, it concludes in general. Moreover, the effectiveness of the presented methods are certified on some applications of nonlinear equations and compared with the earlier derivative and derivative-free schemes. The obtained results depict better performance than the existing methods.

Phytochemical Screening, Metal-Binding Studies and Applications of Floral Extract of Sonchus oleraceus as a Corrosion Inhibitor

Abstract: Traditional medicines involve the use of different bioactive constituents present in medicinal plants. The present study was carried out on preliminary phytochemical screening, metal-binding capacity and applications of floral extract of Sonchus oleraceus plant as a corrosion inhibitor. The phytochemical screening of the S. oleraceus extract was carried out by performing different tests such as Mayer’s test, Wagner’s test, etc. The methanolic extract was tested for the presence of various phytochemicals and UV–Vis spectrum analysis was analysed to study metal-binding capacity of S. oleraceus with various metal chlorides. Further the corrosion inhibition effect of S. oleraceus extract for the mild steel was investigated using the weight reduction process. Weight reduction process clearly indicates that on increasing the concentration of the extract, the inhibition efficiency increases. The absorption spectroscopic techniques; UV–visible spectroscopy was used to propose a possible mechanism of the corrosion inhibition. Surface morphology of the mild steel surface was checked using scanning electron microscope.
