The leptonic decay using the principle of maximum conformality
In the paper, we study the leptonic decay width
by using the principle of maximum
conformality (PMC) scale-setting approach. The PMC adopts the renormalization
group equation to set the correct momentum flow of the process, whose value is
independent to the choice of the renormalization scale and its prediction thus
avoids the conventional renormalization scale ambiguities. Using the known
next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative series together with the PMC
single scale-setting approach, we do obtain a renormalization scale independent
decay width, keV,
where the error is squared average of those from
, GeV and the choices of
factorization scales within of their central values. To compare with
the result under conventional scale-setting approach, this decay width agrees
with the experimental value within errors, indicating the importance of a
proper scale-setting approach.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Energy and Cost Saving of a Photovoltaic-Phase Change Materials (PV-PCM) System through Temperature Regulation and Performance Enhancement of Photovoltaics
The current research seeks to maintain high photovoltaic (PV) efficiency and increased operating PV life by maintaining them at a lower temperature. Solid-liquid phase change materials (PCM) are integrated into PV panels to absorb excess heat by latent heat absorption mechanism and regulate PV temperature. Electrical and thermal energy efficiency analysis of PV-PCM systems is conducted to evaluate their effectiveness in two different climates. Finally costs incurred due to inclusion of PCM into PV system and the resulting benefits are discussed in this paper. The results show that such systems are financially viable in higher temperature and higher solar radiation environment
