“…Inorganic and organic phase-changing materials (PCMs) are the most widely used in different applications [23,24]. According to research, using appropriate phase change materials in building components such as walls and roofs helps keep the inside of the building cooler by lowering its overall solar thermal performance [25,26]. Voelker et al [27] evaluated the influence of phase change materials on area temperature lowering.…”

This paper aims to create an experimental building structure using 3D printing technology to reduce the interior temperature. Because of its sensitivity to high temperatures, particularly its low heat deflection temperature, and susceptibility to deterioration over time, the Polylactic acid (PLA) material has been preferred to print the layer. In this model, an effort was made to decrease the building's overall cooling load, which may result in a higher amount of ordinary power being required. For the study, a new model of the intended wall was developed and tested. The studies were carried out in two modes: the first without any PCM in the wall, and the second with an additional new model of PCM 3D-printing layer within the wall. The test results demonstrated that the PCM 3D-printing layer inside the wall building lowered the temperature of the outer wall surface, the inner wall surface, and subsequently the building temperature of the indoor area to a huge amount. The achievements are in the percentage peak temperature reduction of 9.8% for the wall's outer surface, 22.6% of the inner wall surface, and 13.4% of the room temperature. With the help of the PCM 3D-printing layer, the peak indoor temperature was decreased by 5℃.

The soluble oxygen content in the water is affected by oxygenation, which is a vital factor for commercial fishery fields. The soluble oxygen content is the prime factor for the fishes grown in those fields, and most probably, the fields are located in remote locations where electricity could not be accessible. Photovoltaics (PVs) are becoming more popular as a renewable resource. The electric power generated by solar panels can be utilized to run the aerators in order to aerate the fishery fields that are isolated and disconnected from the primary power system. A 100 Wp floater solar PV (SPV) modules for powering five numbers of DC aerators are used in the present investigation. The efficiency of floated solar panels was monitored by measuring sun irradiation, PV temperatures, output power, and current. The amount of oxygen in the water before aeration was around 3.2 mg/L, however after deploying floated solar panels and aerator, the level of soluble oxygen was raised to 4.4 mg/L.

The semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) module is an emerging technology to harness the solar energy in the building. Nowadays, buildings are turning from energy consumers to energy producers due to the integration of the STPV module on the building envelopes and facades. In this research, the STPV module was integrated on the rooftop window of the experimental room at Kovilpatti (9°10′0″ N, 77°52′0″ E), Tamil Nadu, India. The performance of the STPV modules varies with respect to the geographical location, incident solar radiation, and surface temperature of the module. The surface temperature of the STPV module was regulated by the introduction of the mixture of graphene oxide and sodium sulphate decahydrate (Na2SO4·10H2O). The various concentration of the graphene oxide was mixed together with the Na2SO4·10H2O to enhance the thermal conductivity. The thermal conductivity of the mixture 0.3 concentration was found to be optimum from the analysis. The instantaneous peak temperature of the semi-transparent photovoltaic phase change material (STPV-PCM) module was reduced to 9 °C during summer compared to the reference STPV. At the same time, the energy conversion efficiency was increased by up to 9.4% compared to the conventional STPV module. Due to the incorporation of the graphene oxide and Na2SO4·10H2O, the daily output power production of the STPV module was improved by 12.16%.
