  • Bivarate models: relationships between solar irradiation and either sunshine duration or extremum temperatures 

    Jain, P.K.; Lungu, E.M.; Prakash, J. (Elsevier Science Ltd. www.elsevier.com/locate/renene, 2003)
    The Republic of Botswana is one of the sunniest countries in Southern Africa. It has very little cloud cover, insufficient rainfall, very low humidity, and very low wind speed throughout the year for most parts of the ...

  • Optical Characterization of TiO2-bound (CuFeMnO4) Absorber Paint for Solar Thermal Applications 

    Ayieko, C.O.; Musembi, R.J.; Ogacho, A.A.; Aduda, B.O.; Muthoka, B.M.; Jain, P.K. (Science and Education Publishing, http://www.sciepub.com/journal/AJER, 2016)
    A composite thin film consisting of TiO2 (binder), uniformly mixed CuFeMnO4 paint (solar absorber) was coated on textured aluminum sheets by dip coating. The film’s elemental analysis was done using energy dispersive x-ray ...

  • Renewable energy education in Botswana: needs, status and proposed training programs
