Tiendrebeogo Salmwendé Eloi; Tubreoumya G. Christian; Sawadogo E. Sidwaya; Batiana Abdré; Dissa A. Oumar; Bere Antoine
Burkina Faso has plenty of sunshine for most of the year, and it is interesting to carry out solar drying in order to preserve the active ingredients of the harvested products. The drying temperature remains an essential parameter for the quality of the product to be dried. The work presented is part of an experimental study on the temperature(...)

ENERGY PROBLEMATIC OF THE POWER FACTOR IN SOLAR INSTALLATIONS: CASE STUDIES, HIGHLIGHTING AND PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
Zoundi Ousmane1*, Nzihou Jean Fidele1, Tissologo Moussa1, Ouattara Frederic1, and Segda Bila Gerard2
The aim of this article is to highlight the consumption of reactive energy and the consequences of not taking it into account in solar installations. Unlike active power, it is responsible for the magnetization or induction of electrical circuits (enabling the transfer of active power) and remains constant (depending on the type of equipment)(...)

Fire behavior of polymers: comparative study of Tek wood and Fraké wood on a small scale
BAGUIAN Abdoul Faycal1, KOUDOUGOU Mathilde, KOALA Lucmane, DABILGOU Téré, TIENDREBEOGO Olivier, TASSEMBEDO Rodolphe, ZAIDA Justin, SAM Raguilignaba , OUIMINGA Salifou Koucka
Parameters representing the thermal properties of materials are
considered to be specific to thermal inertia, and parameters modulating surface heat
transfer are considered to be related to thermal inertia. The fire behavior of
materials depends on the chemical processes involved in their thermal degradation.
For our study of the therm(...)

Performance Evaluation of a 33.7 MW Zagtouli Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant by Reducing Losses
Ousmane GUIRO, Guy Christian TUBREOUMY A, Eloi Salmwendé TIENDREBEOGO, Aboubacar COMPAORE, Abdoulaye KABORE, Alfa Oumar DISSA
Solar photovoltaic power plants connected to the electricity grid suffer production losses due, on the
one hand, to grid instability and, on the other, to the quality of the installation. The general objective
of this work is to improve the performance of a photovoltaic power plant by reducing losses between production and energy injection i(...)

Sampawinde Augustin Zongo, Jacques Nébié, Téré Dabilgou, Soutongnoma Bouda, Tizane Daho
This study presents a contribution to the development of a model for vegetable
oil droplets vaporization, with a particular focus on the influence of the exper
imental set-up for their use as fuel in diesel engines. Two systems were con
sidered: an open-environment system obtained through a hot gas flow, and a
closed-environment system.(...)

Performance Evaluation of a Finned Solar Air Collector: Numerical and Experimental Investigation
Guy Christian Tubreoumya, Eloi Salmwendé Tiendrebeogo, Abdoul Fayçal Baguian, Téré Dabilgou, Jacques Nebié, Boubou Bagré, Belkacem Zeghmati, Alfa Oumar Dissa, Jean Koulidiati and Antoine Bere
The present study aimed to highlight the performance evaluation of a finned solar air collector. This device works in forced conversion and is destined to dry products. The necessity of improving the thermal performances of the solar air collector for specific needs has encouraged us to realize this study. For that, we design a model of solar(...)

Evaluating Local Distribution Grid Capacity Under PV Energy Injection
Toussaint Tilado Guingane, Éric Korsaga, Sosthène Tassembedo, Ousmane Sawadogo, Raguilignaba Sam, Zacharie Koalaga
This paper assesses the capacity of a low-voltage distribution network to receive photovoltaic energy. A simulation is carried out in Matlab/Simulink , taking into account the elements representative of the photovoltaic system connected to the grid. The PV generator is simulated under nominal operating conditions. The analyses focus on the tot(...)

Characterization of radon in drinking water of Villy and the associate radiological hazards
Christian BANGOU; Zakaria YAMEOGO; Claude TIENDREBEOGO ; Karim HIE ; Razakou ABDOUL, Issa ZERBO and Martial ZOUNGRANA.
In the present study, the activity concentrations of radon were measured in twenty seven (27) water samples collected from Villy, a village of west central region which presents uranium anomalies. The associated radiological hazards were then assessed. The radon activity concentrations were in the range of 5.77±0.74 to 441.76±4.45 Bq/L with an(...)
