STUDY OF NATURAL CONVECTION IN A 3D CAVITY HEATED BY THE CEILING AT A FIXED RAYLEIGH NUMBER BASED ON HEIGHT
SANEMBAYE Adrien, OUEDRAOGO Souleymane, AMADOU-OUMAROU Fati, KY Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice, KONFE Amadou and BATHIEBO Dieudonné Joseph
Our objective for this work is to study natural convection in a cavity differentially heated in 3. The equations which govern our problem are expressed in a dimensionless form with a calculation procedure based on the finite element method implemented in the COMSOL Multiphysics calculation code. The flow is unsteady turbulent flow. Several num(...)

Modélisation à 3D des effets des pertes d’électrons à la jonction d’une cellule PV au silicium polycristallin sur ses performances
Ramatou Saré, Mamoudou Saria, Dioari Ulrich Combari, Idrissa Sourabié, Vinci De Dieu Bokoyo Barandja, Martial Zoungrana, and Issa Zerbo
L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier, à 3-D, l’influence des pertes d’électrons sur les performances d’une cellule PV au silicium polycristallin. Les équations de transport des électrons ont été résolu en prenant en compte le taux d’électrons perdus à la jonction (Sf0) afin d’obtenir l’expression de la densité des électrons qui a conduit à l(...)

Realization and Experimental Study of a Hybrid Cooker (Solar-Biomass) in a Sahelian Climate
Iliyassé Konkobo, Jacques Nébié, Yomi Woro Gounkaou, Bagré Boubou, Armand Korsaga, Boumbouté Somé, Sidiki Zongo, Christian Tubreoumya Guy, Tizane Daho, Antoine Béré
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-bioma(...)

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF NATURAL CONVECTION AND INFLUENCE OF THE COLLECTOR RADIUS ON THE VELOCITY AND TEMPERATURE FIELDS IN A SOLAR TOWER WITHOUT TURBINE
Moctar Ousmane, Boureima Kaboré, Germain Wende Pouiré Ouedraogo, Salifou Ouédraogo, B. Magloire Pakouzou, Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice KY, Dianda Boureima, KAM Sié and Dieudonné Joseph Bathiébo
In this paper, we present a numerical analysis of natural convection and the effects of collector radius variation on the velocity and temperature field. After transforming the conservation equations of mass, momentum and energy, we compare the results of our calculation code with those of Comsol. On the one hand, the comparative study of the(...)

Experimental Study of a Diesel Engine Incorporating a "KALAMA" Screw and Operating on Vegetable Oils
Gounkaou Yomi Woro , Diané Ali , Koala Lucmane , Daho Tizane , Sanogo Oumar , Béré Antoine
The vegetable oil is an alternative fuel that complements or substitutes for fossil fuels. However, its use in diesel engines gives rise to a number of difficulties, especially at low engine power levels. To resolve these problems, improving the thermal conditions in the engine's combustion chamber is one of the solutions being considered. Thi(...)

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF AN INDIRECT SOLAR DRYER USING NATURAL CONVECTION: CHANGES IN THREE PHYSICAL PARAMETERS
OUEDRAOGO Souleymane, SANEMBAYE Adrien, NANA Gomwêndkouni Gilbert, AMADOU OUMAROU Fati, KY Thierry Sikoudouin Maurice, KAM Sié and BATHIEBO Dieudonné Joseph
An experimental study was carried out on an indirect solar dryer operating with natural convection. The study focused on the behavior of three parameters over time. Solar radiation at the measurement site, the temperature of various elements of the collector and of the air at four precise locations inside the dryer, and the velocity at its out(...)

Comparative Study of Available Solar Potential for Six Stations of Sahel
Serigne Abdoul Aziz Niang, Ahmed Gueye, Astou Sarr, Dialo Diop, Saka Goni, Bado Nebon
Sahel is an African area with high solar potential. However, this potential is not uniform across the region. This paper examines the spatial distribution of the available solar potential by using six stations across the Sahel area. This
comparative study was based on the analysis of in situ measurements in Dakar in Senegal, Niamey in Niger,(...)

SANDWIDI Sayouba , HARO Kayaba , DABILGOU Téré , Sinon Souleymane , SANOGO Oumar , KOULIDIATI Jean, & BERE Antoine
The development of earth-based bio-sourced materials requires a thorough analysis of the study soil. For the present study, we took five (05) soil samples from a tunnel-digged quarry in the layer between 0.5 m and 5 m : white clay (MSB-BL), red clay (MSB-RG), weak clay or sandy clay (MSB-FB), strong clay (MSB-FR) and mixture (MSB-ME). To verif(...)
