Experimental investigation of impacts by solar cell secondary
Abstract– We have shown in laboratory experiment that hypervelocity impacts on a solar cell produce ejecta that can be captured on aluminum (Al 1100) foil or in low density (33 kg m −3) aerogel.The origin of the secondary impacts can be determined by either analysis of the residue in the craters in the foils (which preserve an elemental signature of the solar cell

What is a RAC air solar collector?
Considering the previous design parameters, the RAC air solar collector was built using a box of 2.00 m length, 0.70 m width and 0.18 m height made of a steel frame covered with galvanized sheet metal insulated with 25.4 mm thick blanket sheet of glass fiber paper up faced to avoid heat losses from the sides and from the back of the collector.
What are air solar collectors?
Air solar collectors are a kind of heat exchangers that transform solar energy into heat. Usually, they are used for heating air in drying agricultural products and as an air heater in combination with auxiliary heaters for air conditioning of buildings. The advantages of solar air heaters are that freezing or boiling of the fluid does not occur.
Can recyclable materials be used to build absorber plates of air solar collectors?
This collector was designed as a proposal to use recycle recyclable materials to build absorber plates of air solar collectors at an acceptable cost. The absorber plate of the collector consisted of eight circular cross section air flow channels of 128 recyclable aluminium cans.
Can aluminum cans be used in a vertical solar air collector?
In this study, different from available studies in the literature, aluminum cans have been used in a vertical solar air collector with new design for inlet part of the system. Moreover, vertical geometry was structured for the system to be utilized in building walls.
Can recyclable aluminum cans be used as absorber plates?
The present paper describes the development and testing of an efficient single-glass air solar collector with an absorber plate made of recyclable aluminum cans (RAC). This collector was designed as a proposal to use recycle recyclable materials to build absorber plates of air solar collectors at an acceptable cost.
Can solar air collectors be used in buildings?
Heating loads cover a large portion of the total energy consumption of buildings. Solar air heating is a sustainable and low-cost alternative for heating applications instead of employing fossil energy sources. In this work, vertical solar air collectors (VSACs) have been developed to be utilized in buildings.
