Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModel Identification and Wall-Plug Efficiency Measurement of White LED ModulesAhmed Zurfi, Jing ZhangIn this study, an experimental method is developed to measure the Wall-Plug efficiency of white LED modules without using any apparatus or sensors to measure the intensity of light. The tested LED module consists of a white LED chip-on-board affixed on a heatsink. The proposed method is mainly based on thermal and electrical models of the LED module. Measurements of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2016 · 8,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Prototype of a Small-Scale Solar Power Plant: dynamic Simulation and Thermoeconomic AnalysisAnnamaria Buonomano, Francesco Calise, Maria VicidominiThe paper presents an innovative prototype of a solar power plant, purposely designed for small-scale applications such as residential and/or small commercial buildings. The system consists of 10 kWe Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant and innovative solar thermal collectors. In particular, 235 m2 of flat-plate evacuated solar collectors are designed to heat diathermic oil up to 180°C. A variable volume … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 8 Feb 2016 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Experimental Investigation on Performance of CI Engine Using Diesel, Esterified Cotton Seed Oil and Diethyl Carbonate as AdditiveVikram G. Kamble, Samson Paul PintoIn this study, Cotton seed oil ethyl ester was produced by transesterification process. The performance of diesel engine was experimentally investigated by using cotton seed oil ethyl ester as fuel. For the study cotton seed oil ethyl ester was mixed with diesel fuel and B20 blend was prepared. Also Diethyl Carbonate was added as an additive in 4, 8 and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2015 · 7,445 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Dynamics of the Distribution Mechanism with Rocking Tappet with RollFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, John Kaiser Calautit, Dragan MarinkovicIn this study, the authors present a new method to dynamically synthesize a mechanism with rotary cam and rotated tappet with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. This type of distribution can improve the changes of gases and may decrease significantly the level of vibration, noises and emissions. As long as … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 28 Oct 2015 · 9,290 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Dynamic Simulation of a Combined System Integration Concentrating Photovoltaic/Thermal Solar Collectors and Organic Rankine CycleFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Maria Vicidomini et al.This study presents the design of a novel ultra-high efficient solar power system. The system is equipped with a concentrating PhotoVoltaic/Thermal (CPVT) solar collectors bottomed by an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The basic idea is to use a high temperature CPVT device producing simultaneously electricity and hot diathermic oil. Then, this hot fluid is used to supply heat to the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 17 Apr 2015 · 8,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeometrical Synthesis of the Distribution MechanismsFlorian Ion T. PetrescuIn this study the author presents shortly some few original trigonometric methods to make the synthesis of some main distribution mechanisms. One presents four main modules of distribution mechanisms, with rotary cam and translated or rotated tappet plane or with roll, used with priority at the distribution mechanisms from the heat engines with internal combustion. These types of distribution mechanisms … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2015 · 8,858 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONGESTION MANAGEMENT BY OPTIMAL ALLOCATION OF FACTS CONTROLLERS USING HYBRID FISH BEE OPTIMIZATIONS. Thangalakshmi, P. ValsalalThe role of Independent System Operator (ISO) in the restructured power industry includes system control, capacity planning, transmission tariff and congestion management; the challenging task being minimizing the congestion. One of the popular techniques used to alleviate congestion is using Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The power system generally operates near its rated capacity in deregulated market because of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Apr 2014 · 6,645 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Architecture of Maximum Power Point Tracking for Ultra-Low-Power Based Hybrid Energy Harvester in Ubiquitous Devices: A ReviewMichelle Lim Sern Mi, Sawal Hamid Muhammad Ali, Md Shabiul IslamThis research work presents a novel architecture of an Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) based Hybrid Energy Harvester (HEH) consisting of multiple input sources such as kinetic, thermal and solar energy, harvested from passive human power. Having multiple ambient sources mitigates limitations caused by single sources especially for bodily-worn applications; however, this results in impedance mismatch among the different integrated sources. To overcome … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 10 · 6 Sep 2013 · 7,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Thermal Characteristics of a Sintered-Wick Heat Pipe with Double Heat SourcesNattawut Tharawadee, Pradit Terdtoon, Niti Kammuang-lueHeat pipes have been used extensively in the electronic industry for decades especially in laptop computers. For cost-effectiveness, a single heat pipe is designed to simultaneously transfer heat from both the Central Processing Unit (CPU) and the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) inside the main board to the heat sink. This causes the efficiency of the heat pipe to change without … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 9 · 24 Aug 2013 · 7,229 accessesView PDFCite
