Sommario/riassunto

Climate change and increased climate variability in terms of rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and increasing extreme weather events, such as severe drought and devastating floods, pose a threat to the production of agricultural and horticultural crops-a threat this is expected to worsen. Climate change is already affecting-and is likely to increase-invasive species, pests, and disease vectors, all adversely affecting agri-horticultural crop productivity. Advances in agricultural knowledge, science, and technology will be required to develop improved crop traits, such as tempera

Chapter-I General Introduction -- Chapter-II Water Quality -- Chapter-III Solar cell and Photo-voltaic Effect -- Chapter-IV Photovoltaic (PV) Module and its Panel and Array -- Chapter-V Concepts of Greenhouse and its Application -- Chapter-VI Construction of Greenhouse integrated Semi-transparent Photo-Voltaic Thermal System (GiSPVT) -- Chapter-VII Cultivation of Vegitables in Winter -- Chapter-VIII Thermal Modeling of Greenhouse integrated Semi-transparent Photo-voltaic Thermal (GiSPVT) system: Quasi-steady state analysis -- Chapter-IX Thermal Modeling of GiSPVT Solar Dryer: Quasi-steady state analysis -- Chapter-X Thermal Modeling of Greenhouse integrated Semi-transparent Photo-voltaic Thermal (GiSPVT) system: A periodic analysis -- Chapter-XI Application of PVT Technology.

Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses topics such as solar energy, heat transfer, solar cell and photovoltaic module, greenhouse-integrated semi-transparent photovoltaic thermal (GiSPVT) system for agriculture and aquaculture, GiSPVT solar dryer, and PVT water and air collector for water heating, air heating, biogas heating and swimming pool heating, etc. The book also discusses energy matrices, including EPBT, EPF, and LCCE. It includes pedagogical elements such as exercises, tables, and figures including problems and objective questions at the end of each chapter. Further, it includes the unit conversion from FPS system to SI unit of each parameter, namely length, energy, power, velocity, pressure force, etc., and some standard constants used in examples. Quasi steady state and periodic modeling of PVT technology described in the book is a useful reference for students, researchers, and academicians to design solar energy-based technology.
