This is reasonable given that the large masses of water present in these systems inherently provide built-in thermal energy storage so that a separate energy storage tank does not have to be purchased. For a space heating system, extra thermal energy storage generally has to be purchased and is a detriment to the economics of these systems. Despite the economic drawbacks of solar thermal space heating, this thesis focuses on the size of thermal systems required to heat an average size home in Minneapolis, MN and Dayton, OH. For these two locations and for a standard test case, this thesis studies the effect of solar panel size and orientation, heat exchanger size, and operation parameters including flow rates through the solar panels and heat exchanger. Liquid, flat plate collectors are one of the simplest methods for collecting solar energy. These panels are generally inexpensive and can have collection efficiencies above 50%. This makes solar thermal panels more efficient than solar photovoltaic panels, which generally have efficiencies less than 20%. Since the solar thermal panels chosen for study in this work heat a liquid with the sun's energy and the fluid being heated in the building is air, a heat exchanger has to be included in the model. Lastly, because solar thermal systems are inherently unsteady, thermal energy storage must be included in the model. These components of a solar thermal space heating system are modeled by writing and adding routines to the Wright State developed simulation program called Solar_PVHFC. Solar_PVHFC is a simulation program which models solar photovoltaic panels coupled with fuel cells and hydrogen storage tanks. Because of this work, Solar_PVHFC is now capable of modeling a solar thermal system. The advantage of coupling this solar thermal work to Solar_PVHFC is that Solar_PVHFC does a very detailed calculation of the solar energy

Many organizations consider the application of gamification in their processes. Therefore, to implement gamification, it's necessary to know all elements and their relationships that comprise gamification ecosystem. The aim of this chapter is to clarify all details related to that ecosystem. At the beginning we defined gamification and similar concepts. Next, we introduced different types of gamification. One of the key parts of the chapter describes various game elements taxonomies and most used game elements or building blocks of gamification. Player as an inseparable part of that ecosystem is described through player identification, player types and player life cycle. It's clear now that there is lot of different approaches available for application of games in non-leisure context. Rather than to talk about one kind of game or game system, we decided to use term ecosystem in order to be clearer and more consistent with our approach. That i...

The Management Science department of the university are playing important role in industry academia role. These departments are also focusing on the industry oriented research. The various literatures are talking about the global quality and impact of research. Hence in these aspects of quality and impact of the research, the researcher has tried to study the challenges faced by research scholars of a management science departments. And to know, what are the major hurdles for the research scholars? This research study is survey based descriptive study of research scholar's opinions and views from management science departments and institutes under the affiliation of universities within Maharashtra (India).

This is a Qualitative Descriptive Research; The research study includes 372 research scholars response through survey method to recognize their challenges problems and their requirements. The research outputs of academic institutes/universities are the major factor for measuring their quality standards. Institutions are now trying to enhance their research impact by various methods. The Research Scholars are facing challenges to provide quality output, so they need a common platform for discussing their queries, current status of the research, expert guidance, and for research collaboration. This study proposed a conceptual HOTS based Knowledge Management model for Research Community to implement in universities as a authorized KM System.

This is centrally managed through collaboration with other institutes; but raises the challenge of making best usage of vast amount of knowledge and expertise in research.. Researchers who are working at different locations are not able to collaborate without creating or providing the research network. A mechanism by which this expertise can be shared is the need of the day. This can be achieved through a proper Knowledge Management System. This system should be investigated and then it should be employed at the university level in the form of tool. The Research scholars would be able to use this system as an important information and communication tool. This Knowledge Management System can serve as set of features for sharing research related databases, ideas, research experi...

The academic research work is going on in different universities; lot of research information is engendered and added in to libraries. This Research information is not easily available to new Researchers. In this Information Age, till this Research information is awaiting for being open to all for further use. Researchers are facing lot of problems in their research. The enormous amount of research data is existing in different locations, which could not be investigated by researchers because research data is not available in centralized form. Due to this issue, researchers may do work of reinventing the Wheel, because researchers do not know that the selected topic may be previously worked on by any other researcher in different university.
