RESUMO
Floating solar photovoltaic has emerged as a highly sustainable and environmentally friendly solution worldwide from the various clean energy generation technologies. However, the installation of floating solar differs from rooftop or ground-mounted solar due to the significant consideration of the availability of water bodies and suitable climatic conditions. Therefore, conducting a feasibility analysis of the suitable climate is essential for installing a floating solar plant on water bodies. These data are evaluated for the viability of installing a 6.7 MW floating solar power plant on Hatirjheel Lake in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The feasibility analysis incorporated various climatic data, such as temperature, humidity, rainfall, sunshine hours, solar radiation, and windspeed, obtained from Meteonorm 8.1 software and the archive of the Bangladesh Meteorological Department. Besides, this study gathered and analyzed the energy demands of the local grid substation operated by Dhaka Power Distribution Company, to determine the appropriate capacity and architecture of the power plant. The power plant design was conducted using the PVsyst 7.3 software, which determined the necessary equipment quantities, DC energy generation capacity, and the energy injected into the grid in MWh. The study also calculated the Levelized Cost of Energy per kilowatt-hour and the payback period for the system, which indicates the economic viability of installing the system. Furthermore, the acquired dataset possesses significant potential and can be utilized for the establishment of all sorts of solar power plants, including floating solar plants, in any location or body of water within the Dhaka Metropolitan area.
RESUMO
Breast cancer is one of the most basilisk cancers for women due to its high mortality rate which can be prevented drastically with early-stage detection. In this work, the adsorption mechanism of two volatile organic compounds that are present in the breath of breast cancer patients, 2-Methyloctane and 3, 3-Dimethylpentane, has been investigated on aluminum phosphide nanotubes (AlPNT) and gallium phosphide nanotubes (GaPNT) in order to understand their feasibility as sensor materials to diagnosis breast cancer at early stage. We have used the quantum mechanical approach by employing density functional theory using B3LYP-D3 hybrid potential for noncovalent interaction along with the LanL2DZ basis in the Gaussian 09 software package. The adsorption properties analyses suggest that GaPNT exhibits better sensing behavior as well as proclaims 12.6% greater adsorption energy for 2-Methyloctane and 9.4% greater adsorption energy for 3, 3-Dimethylpentane than AlPNT. Other structural and electric properties analyses satisfy this conclusion and suggest that GaPNT exhibits higher stability than AlPNT and could possibly be a potential candidate for developing biosensors to detect breast cancer at the preliminary stages.
