The double glass cover analysis of a solar box cooker has been implemented in an internal heat transfer using MoS-FeO-CrO nanomaterials. A nanocomposite material's essential role is its higher surface/volume ratio which agrees in small area size of a high ductility without strength loss and an enhanced optical property. The nanocomposite materials have an average particle size of 0.2 - 0.5 μm. Compared to the overall thermal energy efficiency of the solar cookers used, the samples with and without this study's modification are 56.21-31.77% and 33.90-24.90%. The design used nanomaterials' performance with and without coating materials achieved by the bar plate temperature of about 163.74 °C and 113.34 °C below solar radiation of 1037W/m. The simulation model is conducted on the fuzzy intelligent logic and Cramer's rules. It agreed with the experimental results by 91%.

This research aims to identify wet-cooled CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) solar power plants connected to the existing electricity grid in Cameroon. This study uses a hybrid approach which combines an MDCM-AHP method (Multi-Criteria Analysis Method - Hierarchical Analysis Process) and a GIS (Geographic Information System). The elements studied are the climate (Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI), temperature), orography (slope and elevation) and location (proximity to the electricity network, proximity to roads and railways, proximity to homes), in order to determine the weight of these different factors and combine them to obtain the final map.

We proposed the ultrawideband solar absorber using the multisized metal resonator oriented on the top of the multilayered Metal-SiO₂-MXene-MgF₂-Tungsten structure. We have carried out a numerical investigation of this structure for the 100-2500 THz frequency, which covers the infrared, visible, and UV spectra. The proposed solar absorber is numerically investigated for the different physical parameters, such as the height of the layers, unit cell size, and resonator orientation, to identify optimized results for the high absorption capacity.

The optimization of heat transfer in various engineering applications, such as thermal management systems and energy storage devices, remains a crucial challenge. This study aims to investigate the potential of Casson-based Cu-HO nanofluids in enhancing free convection heat transfer within complex geometries. The research examines the free convection heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of a Casson-based Cu-HO nanofluid within a semi-parabolic enclosure that includes a wavy corrugated cylinder.

This study investigates the electronic properties and photovoltaic (PV) performance of newly designed bithiophene-based dyes, focusing on their light harvesting efficiency (LHE), open-circuit voltage (V), fill factor (FF), and short-circuit current density (J).These new dyes are designed with the help of machine learning (ML) to design best donor acceptor designs. For this, we collect 2567 differenr electron donor groups and calculated their bandgap with the help of Random Forest (RF) Regression method.

This paper explores a novel group of D-π-A configurations that has been specifically created for organic solar cell applications. In these material compounds, the phenothiazine, the furan, and two derivatives of the thienyl-fused IC group act as the donor, the π-conjugated spacer, and the end-group acceptors, respectively. We assess the impact of substituents by introducing bromine atoms at two potential substitution sites on each end-group acceptor (EG1 and EG2).
