โœฆ Synopsis

This paper reports the development of a flat-plate module based on highly efficient ion-implanted silicon solar cells. The cells developed in this work are 53 cm 2 in area and have exhibited air mass 1.5 efficiencies of over 18%. The use of back surface reflectors to reduce module operating temperature is discussed. A comparison of various approaches to cell design is made, and module test data for these designs are presented. A comparison of float zone and Czochralski silicon is made. Module efficiency of over 15% (at 25 ยฐC) is reported.

Concentration polarisation, decreasing the efficiency in membrane separation processes, can be reduced by increasing mass transfer between membrane surface and bulk of the feed stream. Analogous to techniques used in plate heat exchangers efforts have been made to enhance mass transfer in a plate hy
