Assessing district energy systems performance integrated with multiple thermal energy storages.
(2013-08-01)
The goal of this study is to examine various energy resources in district energy (DE) systems and then DE system performance development by means of multiple thermal energy storages (TES) application. This study sheds light ...
Analysis, assessment and optimization of integrated solar energy systems for multigeneration
(2014-12-01)
The extensive usage of fossil fuel in most of human activities has led to the undesirable effects on the environment starting from global warming and greenhouse effects to the climate changes, acid rain and others. Renewable ...
Colour mismatch in compounding of plastics: processing issues and rheological effects
(2015-01-01)
Demand for plastic products is continuously growing with population increase and higher living standards. Imparting colours to plastics is a combination of art and science and plays a key role in production of attractive ...
Development, analysis and performance assessment of net zero energy house systems.
(2014-08-01)
Net zero energy buildings have captured the attention of many researchers and governments due to high energy consumption by traditional buildings. The design stage of a net zero energy house is the most crucial and cost ...
Thermal sustainability of low-temperature geothermal energy systems: System interactions and environmental impacts.
(2013-10-01)
In storing heat during summer for use in winter, the ground provides a better source/sink
of heat than the outside air in regards to heat pump efficiency, being cooler than the outside air in the summer and warmer in the ...
Advances in parallel robotics for flexible and reconfigurable manufacturing
(2014-04-01)
Parallel robotic manipulators are a specific type of robot that has multiple
limbs which are ultimately connected to a moving body. Within
this regime, there are several sub-classes of robots characterized by
certain ...
An advanced electrospinning method of fabricating nanofibrous patterned architectures with controlled deposition and desired alignment
(2015-11-18)
We introduce a versatile advanced method of electrospinning for fabricating various kinds of nanofibrous patterns along with desired alignment, controlled amount of deposition and locally variable density into the ...
Asynchronous bi-directional relay-assisted communication networks
(2014-02-01)
We consider an asynchronous bi-directional relay network, consisting of two singleantenna
transceivers and multiple single-antenna relays, where the transceiver-relay
paths are subject to different relaying and/or ...
Mass transfer and particle dissolution in liquid-gas and solid-liquid flows: Application to hydrogen production processes.
(2013-10-01)
Many environmental problems are related to the production, transformation and use
of energy. Some of the concerns include, but are not limited to, acid rain, ozone depletion
and climate change. Therefore, “greener” ...
Coordinated control of active safety systems for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles
(2016-06-01)
To improve the directional performance of multitrailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs), the
model-based active safety systems, including the active trailer steering, trailer differential braking
and the active roll ...
