Jordan
Coming to Jordan represents a unique opportunity to witness the embrace of history and future. As small in area as it is, Jordan has a rich history spanning thousands of years, a history that a tourist can only admire. Places like Petra and the Dead Sea are only examples of the many one-of-a-kind places to visit in Jordan. On top of all that, Jordan, as a peaceful country in a turbulent area, enjoys extreme levels of safety and security. Jordanian people are internationally known for generosity, hospitality and cultural awareness and tolerance.

Design of Hybrid Light and Thermal Energy Harvesting Systems
Summary
In this study, a solar-thermal hybrid system that transmits light to interior photovoltaic panels through an optical fiber while producing hot household water was developed. The system employs a parabolic solar dish (PSD) with a cylindrical solar receiver designed to capture both heat and sunlight. Fiber optics are used to transport light from the solar collector to the building as a source of illumination. To improve the system efficiency, a design of a direct storage system with phase change material (PCM) of petroleum Jelly was employed in this experimental work to heat water for a longer discharge duration. Furthermore, Al2O3 nanoparticles account for 1% of the total volume of the PMC material are added to the PMC material to improve heat transfer during heat charge and discharge. In addition, a low-cost two-axis tracking system for a PSD was developed. The study examined the efficiency of the system and analyzed the temperature profiles inside the solar receiver using a direct energy storage system. The discharge time is approximately six hours with a water temperature of more than 30°C. The results revealed that the use of Al2O3 nanoparticles boosted thermal efficiency by around 5.68%. The proposed system could assist in solving the limited space challenges by utilizing the roof of the building.
