Solar Energy and Hydrogen are possible replacement options for fossil fuel, But a major drawback to the full implementation of solar energy, in particular photovoltaic (PV), is the lowering of conversion efficiency of PV cells due to elevated cell temperatures while in operation. Also, hydrogen must be produced in gaseous or liquid form before it can be used as fuel; but its‟ present major conversion process produces an abundance of carbon dioxide which is harming the environment through global warming. In search of resolutions to these issues, this research investigated the application of Thermal Management to Photovoltaic (PV) modules in an attempt to reverse the effects of elevated cell temperature. The investigation also examined the effects of the thermally managed PV module to a Electrolyzer (Hydrogen Generator) for the production of hydrogen gas in an environmentally friendly way. The results of the investigation showed that the cooling system stopped the cell temperature from rising, reversed the negative effects on conversion efficiency, and increased the power output of the module by as much as 33%. The results also showed that the thermally managed PV module when coupled to the hydrogen generator impacted positively with an appreciablely increase of up to 26% in hydrogen gas production.

The electrical performance of the PV modules can be severely affected by operating temperature of silicon cells due to properties of the crystalline silicon used; the energy generated from these cells decreases with their high temperatures. To reduce this decline in energy, the PV modules use cooling water by placing a tube containing many regular holes on the top end of the module, and water flows on the surface freely in several flows. So, with flow rate (4.224 l/min.m2), module temperature decreases up to (20C°); the record of increased value of electrical yield over the whole day is about (12.8%). and efficiency rises (from 8.31% to 9.62%) of (1.31%). With Flow rate (3.167 l/min.m2), temperature of module decreases up to (18C°); the record of increased value of electrical yield is about (9.8%), and efficiency rises by (1.03%). But with flow rate (2.112 l/min.m2), temperature of module decreases up to (15.5C°); the record of increased value of electrical yield is about (7.8%), and efficiency rises by (0.83%). Furthermore, flow of water on the surface of PV module reduces the reflection losses because the refractive index of water with (1.3) is intermediate between air (1) and glass (1.5). In addition, the surface of module remains clean.
In this research, the electrochemical reduction of hydrogen process and the factors affecting the reduction potential have been studied in this research. The effect of acid concentration on the shifting of the volt-ampero-metric curves that expres s the reduction process and so its effect on both the reduction potential value of hydronium ions on drop mercury electrode, and the speed value of reduction reaction was studied. Then an amount of pyridine as organic substance was added to a specific volume of acid in a specific concentration to figure out the relationship between the amount of pyridine added and the cathode current of the reaction to find out the effect of added pyridine on the reaction speed and the relationship between the amount of added pyridine and the hydrogen reduction potential. Pyridine was added to amount of acid to study the effect of theaddition on the hydrogen reduction over potential.
We grooved photovoltaic cell surface, to extend front grid electrical contact, using laser to improve its performance. By reduce line width leads to reduced shading loss. Mor light can penetrate into the cell instead of being reflected from the me tallic gridlines.
This paper deals with the development of engineering database on the changes in the mechanical properties of high performance concretes mixtures when exposed to high temperature up to 850oC. The results of an experimental investigation into the e ffects of high temperature on the residual compressive strengths for high performance concretes made with ordinary Portland cement are presented.
The research aims to take advantage of the solar energy, as a free energy, to run a water pump powered by solar energy, and to study the effect of the intensity of solar radiation on the performance of this pump in Syrian coast conditions. This resea rch has explained the necessary mechanism for determining the capacity of the pump and the electric PV panels required for the work of the pump and the area of these panels. Studying the effect of intensity of solar radiation on the performance of water pump through studying the impact of pump altitude and solar radiation intensity on water flow range at experiment location. It demonstrated that the flow of the pump is going through two phases with the increasing values of solar radiation during the day. It was found that the increasing value of the flow of the pump before the value of (520W/m2) of Solar radiation was greater than that after (520W/m2) and this led to the loss of a part of the solar energy falling during the day, especially on sunny days, and the value of the loss was about (27%) of the total amount of solar energy falling per day.
