Solar water heating in Lebanon by Houri, Ahmad

“…Simplified initial estimates indicate a payback period of 4–5 years while advanced mathematical models (RETScreen) indicate that the most advanced evacuated tube technology has a payback period of less than 9 years at current market prices. With decreasing cost per square meter of installed collectors, payback periods are expected to rapidly decrease. …”

Graphite and metal nitrate-infused HDPE composites for enhanced thermal performance in energy-efficient building envelopes by Mohammad Amir Khan (23770803)

“…Analysis such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and dielectric spectroscopy analyses further revealed extensive interaction between filler matrices, a decrease in phonon scattering, and a positive increase in crystallinity which led to the improved thermal performance.The TGA results showed that the composite exhibited greater thermal stability, and the residue mass after the decomposition process was 9%, indicating increased carbonization and structural integrity. …”
