For instance, says Boston College physicist Michael J. Naughton, the cells» two functions — capturing light and making energy — pull the optimum design for a solar panel in opposite directions. (discovermagazine.com)
Now Dr Asim has harnessed CFD as a means of investigating the optimum design for HCPs and his findings are being released in a series of articles. (sciencedaily.com)
The main performance measure used to identify the optimum design configuration was the percent of energy captured by the turbine over the course of the year relative to the available energy in the turbulent wind during the same time period. (sciencedaily.com)
