KNowledge Based Innovation Detection And Control Framework To Foster Scientific Research Projects In Material Science
This paper introduces a comprehensive concept idea for building up a knowledge based innovation framework for scientific research projects in general and especially in the field of material science (IConMas). Regarding the aspect of material science the aim is to develop and establish a knowledge based material innovation method. Both aspects, innovation framework and innovation method, are integrated in a common concept which is accurately described within this paper. The outlook focuses on possibilities for realizing the concept and further work in the project.

Experimental Study for a Double-Glazed Forced-Flow Solar Collector/Regenerator
Experimental study of a double-glazed forced-convection solar collector/regenerator for absorption solar cooling is presented. The south facing experimental solar collector/regenerator with 10 deg slope is located at Kaohsiung, Taiwan at 120{degree}19minutesE longitude and 22{degree}34minutesN latitude. The size of the collector is 1 m wide and 7 m long with an effective regeneration area of 0.9 m by 6 m. Previous study for single-glazed forced-convection solar collector/regenerator operated at the same location has shown to have a best day-average efficiency of 17%. In order to raise the system performance, a double-glazed collector/regenerator is constructed such that air can be preheated in the upper channel flow. The preheated air is then conducted into the lower channel where it contacts with the film flow of solar heated lithium-chloride solution and regenerates the solution by carrying out the evaporated water vapor. The preheated air has lower relative humidity but the same humidity ratio since it is sensibly heated. Therefore, the regeneration driving potential is increased. The present study shows that the best day-average efficiency can reach 20% which increases the feasibility of the open-cycle absorption solar cooling system. Effects of controlling parameters on the collector/regenerator performance are studied, and heat and mass transfer correlationsmore » are also presented for design purposes.« less
