Optimization of the Consolidation Parameters for Enhanced Thermoelectric Properties of Gr-Bi₂Te_2.55Se_0.45 Nanocomposites by Farah El-Makaty (19198006)

“…Overall, increments in these two parameters improve the ZT values, with the temperature parameter having a higher influence. The highest ZT of 0.69 at 160 °C was obtained for the sample hot-pressed at 350 °C and 1 GPa for 5 min, which is indeed an excellent and competitive value when compared with results reported for this n-type Bi₂Te_2.55Se_0.45 composition.…”

Effect of sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) on the sensitivity of polyvinylidene fluoride-based resistive humidity sensors by Shoaib Mallick (14578565)

“…The impedance response of the PVDF-SPEEK blend film shows that the addition of SPEEK enhances the sensitivity of the sensing film at a lower humidity level. Moreover, the response and recovery times of the PVDF-SPEEK (2.5−5 wt%) are found to be 25 s and 65 s, respectively.…”

Computation of Power Extraction From Photovoltaic Arrays Under Various Fault Conditions by Azhar Ul-Haq (16875948)

“…<p>Photovoltaic (PV) faults such as partial shading, bypass-diode defects, degradation of PV modules, and wiring issues greatly affect the power output and cause various peaks in P-V curves of a PV system. Although, commonly used Total-Cross-Tied (TCT) scheme in PV arrays is considered instrumental for reducing power losses there lies a great scope to evaluate power extraction through reconfiguration of modules with different PV materials. …”
