Design and Construction of Solar Still-Solar Water Heater Hybrid for Small Scale ApplicationBy Sabiu Bala Muhammad, Saidu Aminu, Umar Sadik, Aliyu Aminu Safana, Adamu Ibrahim Usman
Abstract: AbstractSolar still-solar water heater hybrid for small scale application has been designed and constructed and tested in this study. The construction began with designing and developing isolated units of single-slope solar still, solar water heater and water storage tank separately. These were then coupled together to form the hybrid system. To test its efficacy, the hybrid was subjected to perform distillation alongside a conventional type single-slope solar still of the …

Design and Construction of a Thermosiphonic Solar Photovoltaic – Thermal Water Heating System for Sustainable Development in Temperate Regions of AfricaBy Sabiu Bala Muhammad, Mukhtar Abdulkadir
Abstract: AbstractThe atmospheric temperature of some temperate regions of Africa is mostly about 30–45°C, it incites 30–80°C heat over the panel since black body of the PV panel observes more heat, and this temperature affects the electrical efficiency of the panel. The importance of energy availability in the economic growth, social and political development for every nation cannot be overemphasized. Affordable and reliable energy availability is the precondition for sustainable development. …

Onsite Assessment of Wind Energy Potential and Performance of Installed 500W Horizontal Axis WindBy Sabiu Bala Muhammad, Mukhtar Abdulkadir
Abstract: AbstractWind energy is one of the fastest growing technologies in energy generation industries nowadays. Because, the cost of any wind energy project depends sensitively on the nature of the wind resources available, therefore, estimation of wind characteristics is considered as the first essential step to evaluate a wind energy project based on information about all aspects of the implementation and operation of the project. A good performance evaluation of the …
