Kalidasan; Zafar Said; Yogendra Kumar Mishra; Jang-Yeon Hwang;Energy depletion for the thermal regulation of buildings is a major global concern. Herein, we develop a binary eutectic phase change material (EPCM) consisting of sodium sulphate decahydrate (SSD) and sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate (SPDD) that were modified using borax, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP). In the EPCM, SSD, and SPDD were blended at a proportion of 62:38 to obtain a eutectic point of 27.8 °C with a melting enthalpy of 202 J/g. Borax was a nucleating additive to lessen the issue of supercooling, CMC was a thickening agent to ensure phase stability, and GNP was added as a nanomaterial to enhance the thermal behavior of EPCM. Microtopography, chemical stability, optical transmissibility and absorptivity, phase transition characteristic, thermal conductivity, energy storage potential, degree of supercooling, and thermal stability over 200 thermal cycles were tested and determined. Using scanning electron microscopy, the GNP microstructure and its interaction with EPCM are visualized to present the dispersion and formation of the thermal network. The nanocomposite EPCM also has chemical stability, which is aided by a 571% increase in optical absorbance and an 83.8% decrease in transmissibility. With GNP as a nanomaterial, owing to the well-developed thermal network, we achieve a 106% increment in thermal conductance from 0.464 W/m⋅K to 0.956 W/m⋅K; likewise, GNP acts as a conducting binder and enhances the intermolecular interaction leading to an increase in melting enthalpy from 202.4 J/g to 226 J/g. Finally, a numerical simulation of EPCM heating a thermic fluid flowing within a concentric tube with focus on the temperature contour is conducted for elaborating the potential of PCM towards TES systems.

Rapid growth in industrialization has led to high dependency of reliable electric power source for its operation. On the contrary, thermal power plants expel pollutants consisting of hazardous gases that result in degradation of environment and ecosystem. Thus, utmost importance is to generate clean and efficient energy from power plant. This current article resolves the problem of sustainable power production using coal-based thermal power plants, by integrating gasification technologies to the system. The performance of thermal power plant in terms of emission is numerically analyzed with varying gasifier pressure, air-fuel ratio, steam-fuel ratio and flue gas-fuel ratio. Numerical simulation of the gasification cycle with varying parameters is carried out using MATLAB. Optimum performance at gasifier pressure of 2 bar and the steam-fuel ratio of 0.25 was observed with relative air-fuel of 0.075. With increasing flue gas-fuel ratio from 0.25 to 1.00, although the mole fractions of components of syngas don’t differ much, the heating value and cold-gas efficiency of syngas produced decreases for each fuel. Considering the emissions, simulated results present co-gasification as better option over conventional systems. A reduction of two-third in kg of CO2 released per kg of fuel was observed with almost three-fourth decrement in kg of CO2 per kWh of power produced. Also, zero SOx and NOx emissions were observed compared to coal based thermal power plants. It is noted that optimum performance of gasification system at gasifier pressure of 2 bar, air-fuel ratio of 0.1, steam-fuel ratio of 0.25 and flue gas-fuel ratio of 1.00. The proposed cycle presents itself suitable for further research and its application to coal based thermal power plants, providing potential towards supplementary power generation and cleaner exhaust. This research would also significantly contribute to achieve sustainable development goals.

Kalidasan; Furqan Jamil; Amrit Kumar Thakur; V.V. Tyagi; Ahmet Sarı; Hafiz Muhammad Ali;Phase Change Materials (PCMs) enable thermal energy storage in the form of latent heat during phase transition. PCMs significantly improve the efficiency of solar power systems by storing excess energy, which can be used during peak demand. Likewise, they also contribute to reduced overall energy demand through passive thermal regulation. Nonetheless, thermal energy charging and discharging are restricted due to the low conducting nature of the energy storage medium. Various research investigations are being carried out to improve the thermal characteristics of PCMs through techniques such as a) dispersion of nanoparticles, b) inserting fins, and c) cascading PCMs. Among the techniques mentioned above, the dispersion of nanoparticles is reliable and economically viable. These materials are so-called nano-enhanced PCMs (NePCMs) that facilitate the charging and discharging processes of the thermal energy storage (TES) units owing to their improved thermo physical properties and long term stability. This paper presents a comprehensive review with implications and inferences on research conducted using nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCMs) in recent years. Initially, the article discusses the highly preferred synthesis methods of NePCMs in addition to its morphological and thermophysical characterization techniques. Then, an acute focus on the impact of distinct dimensional nano additives like zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) on inclusion with PCMs are elaborately discussed. A deep discussion on emerging and hybrid nanoparticles dispersed PCMs with emphasis on a) the interaction mechanism of nanoparticle & phase change material (PCM) and b) influences on enhancing the thermophysical properties (melting point, thermal conductivity, latent heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal stability) of NePCMs are discussed.

The design of solar concentrating collectors for the effective utilization of solar energy is a challenging condition due to tracking errors leading to different divergences of the solar incidence angle. To enhance the optical performance of solar parabolic trough collectors (SPTC) under a diverged solar incidence angle, an additional compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is introduced as a secondary reflector. SPTC with CPC is designed and modeled for a single axis-tracking concentrating collector based on the local ambient conditions. In this work, the optical performance of the novel SPTC system with and without a secondary reflector is investigated using MATLAB and TRACEPRO software simulations for various tracking errors. The significance parameters such as the solar incidence angle, aperture length, receiver tube diameter, rim angle, concentration ratio, solar radiation, and absorbed flux are analyzed. The simulation results show that the rate of the absorbed flux on the receiver tube is significantly improved by providing the secondary reflector, which enhances the optical efficiency of the collector. It is found that the optical efficiency of the SPTC with a secondary reflector is 20% higher than the conventional collector system for a solar incidence angle of 2°. This work can effectively direct the choice of optimal secondary reflectors for SPTC under different design and operating conditions.

Sustainable development goals not only contributes towards a clean environment but also towards better climatic conditions. Within Asia next to China and India, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are the actively developing countries in terms of economy and technologies. On the verge of achieving development, the ASEAN countries highly depend on fossil fuels for their energy needs. The ASEAN countries have taken visionary steps towards increasing the renewable energy mix with the conventional grid without hampering the ongoing development; this study presents the solar energy utilization policies, potential, progresses, and challenges adopted in ASEAN countries; furthermore, in these nations there is a huge potential of solar energy being located near the equator, therefore, they should focus on both solar to electrical and solar to thermal energy applications; however, in order to meet the peak demand and ensure the reliability of renewable energy like solar power, the development of advanced energy storage systems could be the key areas, and concrete efforts are required. Therefore, this article is a spotlight on government policies and goals focusing on energy potential, major progress in terms of energy storage and challenges in implementation of renewable energy systems in ASEAN countries; furthermore the recommended highlights on policies to accelerate the exploitation of renewable energy usage among the people are also discussed in detail, besides, the insights on reduction of carbon footprints over the next decade through incorporation of advanced energy storage systems. The issues discussed in this article will be helpful for exploring the desired energy storage systems and energy policies to be followed, which will eventually attract the stakeholders for small and medium-scale entrepreneurs for the development of renewable energy business in the region, if implemented on the ground.

A sustainable approach to ensuring the thermal regulation of space is reliable with phase change materials (PCMs) operating at 15–25 °C. Henceforth, there is a need of a search of binary and ternary eutectic PCMs operating at desirable phase transition temperatures of 15–25 °C, high energy storage enthalpy (180–220 J/g), improved thermal conductivity and better absorptivity of solar energy. In this current research, we developed a ternary eutectic inorganic salt hydrate PCM intended for a low-temperature thermal regulation system. Based on the eutectic melting point theory, the phase transition temperature and proportion of sodium carbonate decahydrate (SCD), sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate (SPDD) and sodium sulphate decahydrate (SSD) were determined. As per the calculated proportion, ternary eutectic PCM was experimentally prepared. Furthermore, to enhance the thermal property, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were dispersed at weight concentrations of 0.4%, 0.7% and 1.0%. The prepared nanoparticle-dispersed PCMs were characterized using an optical microscope, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and a thermal conductivity meter, and a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to evaluate the morphology, chemical stability and thermal properties. The results showed increases in thermal conductivity and optical absorbance by 71.5% and 106.5%, respectively, with GNP at 1.0% weight concentration. Similarly, the degree of supercooling and transmissibility was reduced by 43.5% and 76.2% correspondingly. The prepared composite PCM is expected to contribute towards cooling, with an intention to contribute towards sustainable development.

This article offers a trend of inventions and implementations of photocatalysis process, desalination technologies and solar disinfection techniques adapted particularly for treatment of industrial and domestic wastewater. Photocatalysis treatment of wastewater using solar energy is a promising renewable solution to reduce stresses on global water crisis. Rendering to the United Nation Environment Programme, 1/3 of world population live in water-stressed countries, while by 2025 about 2/3 of world population will face water scarcity. Major pollutants exhibited from numerous sources are critically discussed with focus on potential environmental impacts & hazards. Treatment of wastewater by photocatalysis technique, solar thermal electrochemical process, solar desalination of brackish water and solar advanced oxidation process have been presented and systematically analysed with challenges. Both heterogenous and homogenous photocatalysis techniques employed for wastewater treatment are critically reviewed. For treating domestic wastewater, solar desalination technologies adopted for purifying brackish water into potable water is presented along with key challenges and remedies. Advanced oxidation process using solar energy for degradation of organic pollutant is an important technique to be reviewed due to their effectiveness in wastewater treatment process. Present article focused on three key issues i.e. major pollutants, wastewater treatment techniques and environmental benefits of using solar power for removal of pollutants. The review also provides close ideas on further research needs and major concerns. Drawbacks associated with conventional wastewater treatment options and direct solar energy-based wastewater treatment with energy storage systems to make it convenient during day and night both listed. Although, energy storage systems increase the overall cost of the wastewater treatment plant it also increases the overall efficiency of the system on environmental cost. Cost-efficient wastewater treatment methods using solar power would significantly ensure effective water source utilization, thereby contributing towards sustainable development goals.

Kalidasan; Zafar Said; Yogendra Kumar Mishra; Jang-Yeon Hwang;Energy depletion for the thermal regulation of buildings is a major global concern. Herein, we develop a binary eutectic phase change material (EPCM) consisting of sodium sulphate decahydrate (SSD) and sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate (SPDD) that were modified using borax, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP). In the EPCM, SSD, and SPDD were blended at a proportion of 62:38 to obtain a eutectic point of 27.8 °C with a melting enthalpy of 202 J/g. Borax was a nucleating additive to lessen the issue of supercooling, CMC was a thickening agent to ensure phase stability, and GNP was added as a nanomaterial to enhance the thermal behavior of EPCM. Microtopography, chemical stability, optical transmissibility and absorptivity, phase transition characteristic, thermal conductivity, energy storage potential, degree of supercooling, and thermal stability over 200 thermal cycles were tested and determined. Using scanning electron microscopy, the GNP microstructure and its interaction with EPCM are visualized to present the dispersion and formation of the thermal network. The nanocomposite EPCM also has chemical stability, which is aided by a 571% increase in optical absorbance and an 83.8% decrease in transmissibility. With GNP as a nanomaterial, owing to the well-developed thermal network, we achieve a 106% increment in thermal conductance from 0.464 W/m⋅K to 0.956 W/m⋅K; likewise, GNP acts as a conducting binder and enhances the intermolecular interaction leading to an increase in melting enthalpy from 202.4 J/g to 226 J/g. Finally, a numerical simulation of EPCM heating a thermic fluid flowing within a concentric tube with focus on the temperature contour is conducted for elaborating the potential of PCM towards TES systems.

Rapid growth in industrialization has led to high dependency of reliable electric power source for its operation. On the contrary, thermal power plants expel pollutants consisting of hazardous gases that result in degradation of environment and ecosystem. Thus, utmost importance is to generate clean and efficient energy from power plant. This current article resolves the problem of sustainable power production using coal-based thermal power plants, by integrating gasification technologies to the system. The performance of thermal power plant in terms of emission is numerically analyzed with varying gasifier pressure, air-fuel ratio, steam-fuel ratio and flue gas-fuel ratio. Numerical simulation of the gasification cycle with varying parameters is carried out using MATLAB. Optimum performance at gasifier pressure of 2 bar and the steam-fuel ratio of 0.25 was observed with relative air-fuel of 0.075. With increasing flue gas-fuel ratio from 0.25 to 1.00, although the mole fractions of components of syngas don’t differ much, the heating value and cold-gas efficiency of syngas produced decreases for each fuel. Considering the emissions, simulated results present co-gasification as better option over conventional systems. A reduction of two-third in kg of CO2 released per kg of fuel was observed with almost three-fourth decrement in kg of CO2 per kWh of power produced. Also, zero SOx and NOx emissions were observed compared to coal based thermal power plants. It is noted that optimum performance of gasification system at gasifier pressure of 2 bar, air-fuel ratio of 0.1, steam-fuel ratio of 0.25 and flue gas-fuel ratio of 1.00. The proposed cycle presents itself suitable for further research and its application to coal based thermal power plants, providing potential towards supplementary power generation and cleaner exhaust. This research would also significantly contribute to achieve sustainable development goals.

Kalidasan; Furqan Jamil; Amrit Kumar Thakur; V.V. Tyagi; Ahmet Sarı; Hafiz Muhammad Ali;Phase Change Materials (PCMs) enable thermal energy storage in the form of latent heat during phase transition. PCMs significantly improve the efficiency of solar power systems by storing excess energy, which can be used during peak demand. Likewise, they also contribute to reduced overall energy demand through passive thermal regulation. Nonetheless, thermal energy charging and discharging are restricted due to the low conducting nature of the energy storage medium. Various research investigations are being carried out to improve the thermal characteristics of PCMs through techniques such as a) dispersion of nanoparticles, b) inserting fins, and c) cascading PCMs. Among the techniques mentioned above, the dispersion of nanoparticles is reliable and economically viable. These materials are so-called nano-enhanced PCMs (NePCMs) that facilitate the charging and discharging processes of the thermal energy storage (TES) units owing to their improved thermo physical properties and long term stability. This paper presents a comprehensive review with implications and inferences on research conducted using nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCMs) in recent years. Initially, the article discusses the highly preferred synthesis methods of NePCMs in addition to its morphological and thermophysical characterization techniques. Then, an acute focus on the impact of distinct dimensional nano additives like zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) on inclusion with PCMs are elaborately discussed. A deep discussion on emerging and hybrid nanoparticles dispersed PCMs with emphasis on a) the interaction mechanism of nanoparticle & phase change material (PCM) and b) influences on enhancing the thermophysical properties (melting point, thermal conductivity, latent heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal stability) of NePCMs are discussed. Indeed, including nanomaterials within the PCM matrix resulted in variations in thermal conductivity and heat storage ...

Kalidasan; Furqan Jamil; Amrit Kumar Thakur; V.V. Tyagi; Ahmet Sarı; Hafiz Muhammad Ali;Phase Change Materials (PCMs) enable thermal energy storage in the form of latent heat during phase transition. PCMs significantly improve the efficiency of solar power systems by storing excess energy, which can be used during peak demand. Likewise, they also contribute to reduced overall energy demand through passive thermal regulation. Nonetheless, thermal energy charging and discharging are restricted due to the low conducting nature of the energy storage medium. Various research investigations are being carried out to improve the thermal characteristics of PCMs through techniques such as a) dispersion of nanoparticles, b) inserting fins, and c) cascading PCMs. Among the techniques mentioned above, the dispersion of nanoparticles is reliable and economically viable. These materials are so-called nano-enhanced PCMs (NePCMs) that facilitate the charging and discharging processes of the thermal energy storage (TES) units owing to their improved thermo physical properties and long term stability. This paper presents a comprehensive review with implications and inferences on research conducted using nano-enhanced phase change materials (NePCMs) in recent years. Initially, the article discusses the highly preferred synthesis methods of NePCMs in addition to its morphological and thermophysical characterization techniques. Then, an acute focus on the impact of distinct dimensional nano additives like zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), two-dimensional (2D), and three-dimensional (3D) on inclusion with PCMs are elaborately discussed. A deep discussion on emerging and hybrid nanoparticles dispersed PCMs with emphasis on a) the interaction mechanism of nanoparticle & phase change material (PCM) and b) influences on enhancing the thermophysical properties (melting point, thermal conductivity, latent heat capacity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal stability) of NePCMs are discussed. Indeed, including nanomaterials within the PCM matrix resulted in variations in thermal conductivity and heat storage ...

The design of solar concentrating collectors for the effective utilization of solar energy is a challenging condition due to tracking errors leading to different divergences of the solar incidence angle. To enhance the optical performance of solar parabolic trough collectors (SPTC) under a diverged solar incidence angle, an additional compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is introduced as a secondary reflector. SPTC with CPC is designed and modeled for a single axis-tracking concentrating collector based on the local ambient conditions. In this work, the optical performance of the novel SPTC system with and without a secondary reflector is investigated using MATLAB and TRACEPRO software simulations for various tracking errors. The significance parameters such as the solar incidence angle, aperture length, receiver tube diameter, rim angle, concentration ratio, solar radiation, and absorbed flux are analyzed. The simulation results show that the rate of the absorbed flux on the receiver tube is significantly improved by providing the secondary reflector, which enhances the optical efficiency of the collector. It is found that the optical efficiency of the SPTC with a secondary reflector is 20% higher than the conventional collector system for a solar incidence angle of 2°. This work can effectively direct the choice of optimal secondary reflectors for SPTC under different design and operating conditions.

Sustainable development goals not only contributes towards a clean environment but also towards better climatic conditions. Within Asia next to China and India, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are the actively developing countries in terms of economy and technologies. On the verge of achieving development, the ASEAN countries highly depend on fossil fuels for their energy needs. The ASEAN countries have taken visionary steps towards increasing the renewable energy mix with the conventional grid without hampering the ongoing development; this study presents the solar energy utilization policies, potential, progresses, and challenges adopted in ASEAN countries; furthermore, in these nations there is a huge potential of solar energy being located near the equator, therefore, they should focus on both solar to electrical and solar to thermal energy applications; however, in order to meet the peak demand and ensure the reliability of renewable energy like solar power, the development of advanced energy storage systems could be the key areas, and concrete efforts are required. Therefore, this article is a spotlight on government policies and goals focusing on energy potential, major progress in terms of energy storage and challenges in implementation of renewable energy systems in ASEAN countries; furthermore the recommended highlights on policies to accelerate the exploitation of renewable energy usage among the people are also discussed in detail, besides, the insights on reduction of carbon footprints over the next decade through incorporation of advanced energy storage systems. The issues discussed in this article will be helpful for exploring the desired energy storage systems and energy policies to be followed, which will eventually attract the stakeholders for small and medium-scale entrepreneurs for the development of renewable energy business in the region, if implemented on the ground.

A sustainable approach to ensuring the thermal regulation of space is reliable with phase change materials (PCMs) operating at 15–25 °C. Henceforth, there is a need of a search of binary and ternary eutectic PCMs operating at desirable phase transition temperatures of 15–25 °C, high energy storage enthalpy (180–220 J/g), improved thermal conductivity and better absorptivity of solar energy. In this current research, we developed a ternary eutectic inorganic salt hydrate PCM intended for a low-temperature thermal regulation system. Based on the eutectic melting point theory, the phase transition temperature and proportion of sodium carbonate decahydrate (SCD), sodium phosphate dibasic dodecahydrate (SPDD) and sodium sulphate decahydrate (SSD) were determined. As per the calculated proportion, ternary eutectic PCM was experimentally prepared. Furthermore, to enhance the thermal property, graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) were dispersed at weight concentrations of 0.4%, 0.7% and 1.0%. The prepared nanoparticle-dispersed PCMs were characterized using an optical microscope, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and a thermal conductivity meter, and a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used to evaluate the morphology, chemical stability and thermal properties. The results showed increases in thermal conductivity and optical absorbance by 71.5% and 106.5%, respectively, with GNP at 1.0% weight concentration. Similarly, the degree of supercooling and transmissibility was reduced by 43.5% and 76.2% correspondingly. The prepared composite PCM is expected to contribute towards cooling, with an intention to contribute towards sustainable development.

This article offers a trend of inventions and implementations of photocatalysis process, desalination technologies and solar disinfection techniques adapted particularly for treatment of industrial and domestic wastewater. Photocatalysis treatment of wastewater using solar energy is a promising renewable solution to reduce stresses on global water crisis. Rendering to the United Nation Environment Programme, 1/3 of world population live in water-stressed countries, while by 2025 about 2/3 of world population will face water scarcity. Major pollutants exhibited from numerous sources are critically discussed with focus on potential environmental impacts & hazards. Treatment of wastewater by photocatalysis technique, solar thermal electrochemical process, solar desalination of brackish water and solar advanced oxidation process have been presented and systematically analysed with challenges. Both heterogenous and homogenous photocatalysis techniques employed for wastewater treatment are critically reviewed. For treating domestic wastewater, solar desalination technologies adopted for purifying brackish water into potable water is presented along with key challenges and remedies. Advanced oxidation process using solar energy for degradation of organic pollutant is an important technique to be reviewed due to their effectiveness in wastewater treatment process. Present article focused on three key issues i.e. major pollutants, wastewater treatment techniques and environmental benefits of using solar power for removal of pollutants. The review also provides close ideas on further research needs and major concerns. Drawbacks associated with conventional wastewater treatment options and direct solar energy-based wastewater treatment with energy storage systems to make it convenient during day and night both listed. Although, energy storage systems increase the overall cost of the wastewater treatment plant it also increases the overall efficiency of the system on environmental cost. Cost-efficient wastewater treatment methods using solar power would significantly ensure effective water source utilization, thereby contributing towards sustainable development goals.

Rendering to the United Nation Environment Programme, 1/3 of world population live in water-stressed countries, while by 2025 about 2/3 of world population will face water scarcity. Major pollutants exhibited from numerous sources are critically discussed with focus on potential environmental impacts & hazards. Treatment of wastewater by photocatalysis technique, solar thermal electrochemical process, solar desalination of brackish water and solar advanced oxidation process have been presented and systematically analysed with challenges. Both heterogenous and homogenous photocatalysis techniques employed for wastewater treatment are critically reviewed. For treating domestic wastewater, solar desalination technologies adopted for purifying brackish water into potable water is presented along with key challenges and remedies. Advanced oxidation process using solar energy for degradation of organic pollutant is an important technique to be reviewed due to their effectiveness in wastewater treatment process. Present article focused on three key issues i.e. major pollutants, wastewater treatment techniques and environmental benefits of using solar power for removal of pollutants. The review also provides close ideas on further research needs and major concerns. Drawbacks associated with conventional wastewater treatment options and direct solar energy-based wastewater treatment with energy storage systems to make it convenient during day and night both listed. Although, energy storage systems increase the overall cost of the wastewater treatment plant it also increases the overall efficiency of the system on environmental cost. Cost-efficient wastewater treatment methods using solar power would significantly ensure effective water source utilization, thereby contributing towards sustainable development goals.
