ENERGY, EXERGY ANALYSIS, AND OPTIMIZATIONS OF COLLECTOR COVER THICKNESS OF A SOLAR STILL IN EL OUED CLIMATE, ALGERIA

Energy, Exergy Analysis, and Optimizations of Collector Cover Thickness of a Solar Still in El Oued Climate, Algeria

Researches in many laboratories on solar still desalination are concerned with increasing efficiency using only solar energy.One of the techniques is the difference in the thickness of the glass cover of the distiller.In order to see the influence of this parameter on efficiency, three similar stills with three different glass coverings were invest

Film-blown blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) by compatibilization with poly(butylene-co-succinate-co-adipate) with a free radical initiator

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a sustainable and biodegradable polymer that has potential for use in food packaging.However, its low melt strength makes it difficult to process using film-blowing techniques.To address this issue, 70% PHBV and 30% poly(butylene-co-succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) were blended with dicumyl peroxid

Go local: morality and international activism

A step towards constructing an ethics of international activism is proposed by formulating a series of constraints on what would constitute morally permissible agency in the context that involves delivering services abroad, directly or indirectly.Perhaps surprisingly, in this effort the author makes use of the concept of ‘force multiplier&#x
