Modeling the response of an illuminated polysilicon solar cell under the influence of radio waves, a 3D approach
Vinci de Dieu Bokoyo Barandja, Bienvenu Magloire Pakouzou, Emmanuel Wendsongré Ramdé, Jean M’boliguipa, Mamoudou Saria, Martial Zoungrana, Issa Zerbo
This work investigated the response of an illuminated polysilicon PV cell under AM radio waves. Using a 3 D analysis, the equations which describe the movement of excess electrons and their space and time behavior were solved in order to first find the density of the excess electrons and to subsequently derive the current density and the volta(...)

Investigating the Effect of Inclination Angle of Magnetic Field Vector on Silicon PV Modules
Dioari Ulrich Combari , Emmanuel Wendsongré Ramde, Bruno Korgo, Ramatou Saré, Martial Zoungrana , and Issa Zerbo
In earlier studies, we have shown theoretically and experimentally that magnetic fields (MFs) have negative impact on silicon PV module (photovoltaic module). A noticeable decline in photocurrent with a slight increase in photovoltage was observed. Also, how those fields affected other key module’s parameters was also studied. These studies co(...)

Yves Christian Nonguierma, Amadou Konfe and Dieudonné Joseph Bathiebo
The thermodynamic properties at equilibrium, in this case, enthalpy, pressure, temperature, mass
fraction, of working pairs are very important for researchers and in the design of absorption
refrigeration systems. Although some authors have carried out their research in this direction by
setting up empirical formulas, there are unfortunatel(...)
