Assessment of carbon dioxide emission factors from power generation in Burkina Faso
Bernard Nana, Hamadi Zalle, Issoufou Ouarma, Tizane Daho , Arsène Yonli, Antoine Bere
Power generation is the second largest source of greenhouse gases (GHGs), particularly carbon dioxide (CO2), in Burkina Faso's energy sector. When preparing the National Communications on Climate Change, Burkina Faso uses the default emission factors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to estimate emissions from power gener(...)

Establishment of a model for the calculation of the COP of a solar adsorption refrigerator
KONFE Amadou, NANA G Gilbert, OUEDRAOGO Salif, KAM Sié
This paper deals with the evaluation of the Coefficient of Performance (COP)
of solar adsorption refrigeration. In the literature, simulation models to predict
the thermal behaviour and the coefficient of performance of these systems
are uncommon. This is why we suggest a model to simulate the operation
of the machine in a typical hot and(...)

Perte de masse des étoiles évoluées via des observations avec SPHERE au VLT Perte de masse des étoiles évoluées via des observations avec SPHERE au VLT
N. Aymard. Badolo, S. Zacharie Kam, Eric Lagadec, Vincent Hocde, Fabrice Bado, Jean Koulidiati
Les étoiles branche asymptotique des géantes (AGB) perdent une énorme quantité de matière d’une manière peu comprise à ce jour. Nous avons voulu mieux comprendre les mécanismes auteurs de la diminution considérable de la masse des étoiles pouvant avoisiner les trois quarts de la masse initiale de l’étoile. Nous avons étudié les spectres IRAS(...)

Thermal Study and modeling of the cold room of a solar adsoption refrigerator
KONFE Amadou, SAVADOGO Mahamadi, OUEDRAOGO Loukman, KAM Sié.
In this work, we are interested in the study of the thermal exchanges which
take place at the evaporator of an adsorption refrigerator. Due to the cost of
designing experimental devices and the impossibility of studying the influence
of certain parameters experimentally, an alternative would be simulation.
The aim is to provide a model for(...)

Impacts of the base and emitter doping rate on the internal quantum efficiency
Ramatou Konate; Bernard Zouma ; Mahamadi Savadogo; Fabe Idrissa Barro; Issa Zerbo; Martial Zoungrana; Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
This work focused on the impacts of the base doping rate (Nb) and the emitter doping rate (Ne) on the internal
quantum efficiency (IQE) of a bifacial polycrystalline silicon solar cell, under static conditions and monochromatic
illumination. IQE is defined as the ratio of the number of electron-hole pairs or charge carriers generated to the(...)

Feasibility of Efficient Pyrolysis of Wood Chips and its Product Yield in Developing Countries
Jean Fidele Nzihou a*, Pierre Girod b , Salou Hamidou c , Yann Rogaume b , Bila Gerard Segda d and Frederic Ouattara a
This paper is about the feasibility of combustibles gases like methane, ethane and carbon monoxide
production from wood pyrolysis. This first laboratory experimental stage objective was to see what
products can be obtained from wood pyrolysis in absence of oxygen and presence of nitrogen. The
effect of temperature on the product yields w(...)

Effects of a Cyclone Dimensions on Quality of Syngas Produced with a Wood-fired Biomass Gasifier
Nzihou Jean Fidele a* , Hamidou Salou b , Segda Bila Gerard c , Ouattara Frederic a and Compaore Hamidou a
Charcoal gasification was widely used during the second World War to deal with petroleum scarcity.
When petroleum was again available after the war, gasification was neglected afterwards.
However, fossils resources are know as non-renewable and there are several reseach carried out
all over the world to develop renewable sources of energ(...)

Solar cookers are devices that allow cooking by using free solar energy. However, they can’t operate during cloudy periods or at night. A hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) is an alternative that uses an endogenous and renewable energy source for ecological and economical cooking. In this work, the performances of a hybrid cooker (solar-biomass) ar(...)
