Solar Chimney Power Plants: Numerical Investigations and Experimental Validation

Solar Chimney Power Plants: Numerical Investigations and Experimental Validation summarizes the effect of the geometrical parameters of a solar chimney on the airflow behavior inside a solar chimney power plant. Chapters in this experimental handbook are presented in two parts with the goal of equipping readers with the information necessary to study and determine key factors which affect the performance of the solar chimney power plant. In the first part, the authors present a simulation developed by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling software ANSYS Fluent to model the airflow. The adopted CFD models include k-ɛ turbulence model, the DO radiation model and the convection hea...

La Révolution Tunisienne. Dix jours qui ébranlèrent le monde Arabe

4 janvier 2011 : décès de Mohamed Bouazizi, le jeune homme qui s'est immolé par le feu à Sidi Bouzid. 14 janvier 2011 : fuite du président Ben Ali, et fin du régime autoritaire de 23 ans. Dès le 6 janvier, Olivier Piot, grand reporter, est sur place. Il y restera durant toute la durée des évènements. Nous suivons avec lui cette révolution en marche, au fil de ses discussions avec de nombreux témoins, de son émouvante rencontre avec la famille du jeune Bouazizi, des incroyables mouvements de rue, de ses démélés avec des policiers qui cherchent en vain la carte mémoire de son appareil photo – dissimulée dans son col. Au fil de ce reportage très vivant, nourri d'explications sur les ressorts de la révolte, apparaît une révolution avant tout populaire, née de la colère de marchands et de mineurs contraints à une précarité grandissante. Une colère qui, on le voit actuellement, ne cesse d'essaimer sous des formes différentes dans l'ensemble du monde arabe.

Wind Energy in the Built Environment

This book describes the wind resources in the built environment that can be converted into energy by a wind turbine. It especially deals with the integration of a wind turbine and a building in such a way that the building concentrates the available wind energy for the wind turbine. The three different ways to concentrate wind power are examined: wind turbines on the roof or at the sides of a building; wind turbines between two airfoil shaped buildings; wind turbines in ducts through buildings.
