Experimental Study of the Evolution of Temperatures in Pavement Structures and Influence of Traffic on the RN1 in Burkina Faso in a Hot and Dry Climate
Paul Ilboudo, Boubacar Soro, Dieudonné Dabilgou, Boureima Kaboré, Jean Marie Compaoré, Sié Kam, Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
Asphalt concrete pavements in hot and dry climates deteriorate prematurely some time after their construction. This degradation is accelerated under the effect of heavy vehicle traffic pressure and high temperatures after the bitumen has softened. A study was conducted on the RN1 in Burkina Faso in order to analyze the evolution of temperatu(...)

Study of the Thermodynamic Properties of Thermal Plasmas of Fluoroalkylamine-Air Mixtures
Pafadnam Ibrahim1, Kohio Nièssan1, Yaguibou Wêpari Charles1, Kagoné Abdoul Karim1, Koalaga Zacharie1, André Pascal2
Knowledge of thermodynamic properties as well as parameters such as energy density and power flow is important for modeling thermal plasmas of fluoroalkylamine- air mixtures. In this paper, these thermodynamic properties of fluoroalkylamine-air mixture plasmas are calculated in a temperature range of 500 K to 20,000 K at atmospheric pressure a(...)

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF SIMULATION MODELS ON THE ELECTRONIC AND ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS OF A SILICON PV CELL
KPÉLI ESSO-EHANAM TCHEDRE, MAHAMADI SAVADOGO, GUY SERGE TCHOUADEP, ISSA ZERBO AND MARTIAL ZOUNGRANA
For silicon solar cells simulation studies, one dimensional (1D), two dimensional 2D) and t
hree dimensional (3D) models are used. Depending of model proposed and assumptions done for the study,
the electronic and electrical parameters and then the performance of the solar cell can be influenced.
This situation raises the problem of the rel(...)

Thermomechanical and Hydrous Effect of Heavy Fuel Oil in a Building Material Based on Silty Clayey Soil
Ohindemi G. Yameogo, Donzala D. Some, Sié Kam, Adamah Messan, Takenori Hino, Dieudonné J. Bathiebo
This study focuses on the use of heavy fuel oil in construction in Burkina Faso. Mixed with silty and/or clay soil, it is used as a coating to reinforce the walls of raw soil constructions which are very sensitive to water. The interest of this paper is to shed light on the thermomechanical and above all water effects of heavy fuel oil on a sa(...)

Study and Design of a DC/AC Energy Converter for PV System Connected to the Grid Using Harmonic Selected Eliminated (HSE) Approach
Dominique BONKOUNGOU, Eric KORSAGA, Toussaint GUINGANE, Sosthène TASSEMBEDO, Zacharie KOALAGA, François ZOUGMORE
Nowadays, distributing network-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems are expanded by merging a PV system and a Direct Current (DC)/Alternating Current (AC) energy converter. DC/AC conversion of PV energy is in great demand for AC applications. The supply of electrical machines and transfer energy to the distribution network is a typical case. In(...)

Passive Remote Sensing Studies of a Phantom Insect
Moussa Sougoti; Sié Zacharie Kam; Sidiki Zongo; Antoine Bere
Using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) methods, in passive or in active remote sensing, can do detection and identification of small targets; in entomology, these methods allow the characterization and the classification of insects. However, it is a challenge to study the physical phenomena, which determine the shape and properties of insec(...)

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A LOCAL FURNACE FOR MELTING ALUMINUM FROM USED SOLAR MODULES IN BURKINA FASO
Abdoul Aziz Ouiminga, Boureima Kaboré, Germain Wende Pouiré Ouedraogo, Sié Kam
The manufacture of photovoltaic (PV) panels is evolving increasingly around the world. Used panels are a source
of environmental pollution because recycling them is difficult. In this experimental study, we propose a solution
for recycling aluminum from PV solar modules using a local furnace for melting. First, the frame is separated
fro(...)
