It is the most important factor influencing the efficiency of solar cells. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of different 𝑝 -type (different boron concentrations) and 𝑛 − type (different phosphorus concentrations) resistivity on the efficiency of monocrystalline silicon solar cells. The solar cells were fabricated using p-type silicon doped in boron at concentrations ranging from 6.61 × 10 15 to 3.03 × 10 16 cm −3 and 𝑛 − type silicon doped in phosphorous at concentrations ranging from 5 × 10 19 to 10 21 cm −3 . Then, the effect of boron and phosphorus concentration on solar cell efficiency was investigated. It is found that an increase in the concentration of boron or phosphorus results in an increase in the recombination rate and thus a decrease in the efficiency of the solar cell by reducing the short-circuit current ( 𝐼 𝑠𝑐 ). The best efficiency of 18.59 % was obtained by using boron doped silicon with a resistivity of 2.16 Ω. cm , corresponding to 6.61 × 10 15 cm −3 boron concentration and 𝑛 − type sheet resistance 43.5 Ω/□ , corresponding to 10 20 cm −3 phosphorus concentration. As the study was carried out on a range of resistivities values (0.54 Ω.cm 𝑡𝑜 2.16 Ω. cm ) , a range of sheet resistance (10 Ω/□ to 77 Ω","PeriodicalId":34550,"journal":{"name":"Sohag Engineering Journal","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134918325","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are numerous issues with employing manufactured coagulants, and the need for a cost-effective, health safeguard, and natural coagulant is rising. This paper examines the impacts of natural coagulants like; watermelon seeds, okra seeds, cactus, and aloe-vera on reducing water turbidity. The best-performing coagulant among the four coagulants was determined using the coagulation jar test, which also served to calculate the optimal coagulant concentration required to remove 100 nephelometric turbidity units (NTU) of turbidity. The findings of this investigation suggest that aloe-vera can be utilized as a reliable coagulant for turbid water. Subsequent experiments were conducted using the established coagulant to evaluate various variables including coagulant dose, pH, water turbidity, rapid and slow mixing periods, and settling period. By employing aloe-vera, a more significant percentage of turbidity removal may be accomplished when the pH was 6.5, the beginning water turbidity was 500 NTU, the rapid mixing period was equal to 1 minute, the slow mixing period was preferred at 20 minutes, and the settling duration was 25 minutes.","PeriodicalId":34550,"journal":{"name":"Sohag Engineering Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44291778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
