Effects of external reflector and glass cover cooling on thermo-enviro-economic performance of a stepped solar still

In the current research work, performance enhancement of stepped solar still (SSS) having an external reflector (ER) and glass cover cooling (GCC) arrangements is presented. The individual and combined effects of ER and GCC on the performance of SSS have been evaluated and compared with simple SSS. The GCC reduces the glazing temperature significantly and results in increased distillate. The ER reflected the solar radiation inside the basin that increases the water temperature, consequently increasing distillate. The SSS having ER and GCC (SSS-ER-GCC) gave a maximum distillate of 4.340 kg/m² which was observed, respectively, 12.43%, 3.21%, and 1.36% higher than that of simple SSS, SSS with ER (SSS-ER) and SSS with GCC (SSS-GCC). The average energy efficiency of SSS-ER-GCC was evaluated as 40.78%, which was found to be 14.36%, 7.84%, and 10.64%, respectively, higher than that of simple SSS, SSS-ER, and SSS-GCC. The carbon credits earned and CO₂ mitigation were found the maximum for SSS-ER-GCC having values $65.96 and 4.40 tons, respectively. The economic payback period was found the minimum (490 days) for SSS-ER-GCC.

Guided properties and applications of photonic bandgap fibers

The authors have reviewed some of their recent studies on photonic bandgap fibers (PBGFs). PBGFs that confine light in the core by the photonic bandgap effect of cladding have potential applications in various photonic devices. In this paper, the guided properties and tuned mechanics of anti-resonant PBGFs are theoretically illustrated. The special coupling properties in multi-core PBGFs, such as decoupling and resonant coupling effect,are then introduced. Finally, fiber Bragg grating inscribed in all-solid PBGFs is theoretically and experimentally studied, and special resonant characteristics are also observed.     

Temperature-insensitive chemical sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating

Temperature-insensitive fiber Bragg grating sensors have been demonstrated by discriminating the peak wavelength difference caused by etching the cladding of half of the grating region. Thermal characteristics and chemical sensitivity of two fiber Bragg gratings are experimentally investigated. Experimental results indicate that the etched half and the rest of the grating region have almost the same thermal response, and concentration changes of the surrounding chemical solutions can be detected by measuring the peak wavelength difference. The two sensors have been used to measure the concentrations of propylene glycol solutions and sugar solutions, and one of them could detect 0.067% and 0.027% concentration change for two kinds of solutions with a low-cost wavelength interrogation module.
