Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Microwave Pretreatment on BMP of Decanter Cake from Palm Oil Mill FactoryThaniya Kaosol, Worawuth RungarunanotaiAnaerobic digestion is an effective method for treating decanter cake in the biogas production. Decanter cake usage is limited by its slow fiber degradation for anaerobic digestion process. The aim of this study is to study the possibility of using microwave pretreatment to enhance decanter cake digestibility. The power and heating time are the parameters that influence the biogas production … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 23 May 2016 · 7,625 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview of Signal Processing Techniques for Detection of Power Quality EventsAbhijith Augustine, Ruban Deva Prakash, Rajy Xavier, Mareeta Cheriyan ParasseryThe challenging process industry requires true power for its smooth functioning and here comes the importance of good power or power. The term Power Quality (PQ) aims at supplying true power to the process. The scope of the power quality increased with the introduction of newly designed sophisticated devices like computers and microcontrollers. The performances of these devices are extremely … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2016 · 8,493 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractLoad Balancing Technique Based on Broadcasting and Residual Energy Using Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy Protocol (LBEACH)Abdullah Soliman Alshraa, Venus Wazeer SamawiOne of the important factors of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is sensors lifetime. Elongating sensors lifetime increases the benefits from the network capabilities as much as possible. To elongate WSNs lifetime, power consumption should be reduced. To do so, load balance technique is applied to distribute the energy consumption among cluster’s nodes in the WSN. In each cluster, the node … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 13 Oct 2015 · 6,610 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComputing Amplify-and-Forward Relay Amplification Factor to Improve Total Capacity at DestinationOlalekan Bello, Hushairi Zen, Al-Khalid Othman, Khairuddin Abdul HamidIn this study, we propose a new Amplify-and-Forward (AF) amplification factor to improve the error performances of the current AF schemes and thus enhance the total capacity at the destination terminal. The proposed scheme has two degrees of freedom, meaning that it contains two variable parameters that can simultaneously vary the amplification factor instead of one as in traditional variable-gain … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 8 · 12 Sep 2015 · 7,095 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of the Integration of Wind Turbines into the Design of the Built EnvironmentHassam Nasarullah Chaudhry, John Kaiser Calautit, Ben Richard HughesThe effect of wind distribution on the architectural domain of the Bahrain Trade Centre was numerically analysed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Using the numerical data, the power generation potential of the building integrated wind turbines was determined in response to the prevailing wind direction. Simulating a reference wind speed of 6 m/s, the findings from the study quantified an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 22 Dec 2014 · 7,534 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSIGNED GRAPH APPROACH IN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION POWER TO ENHANCE THE LIFETIME OF WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKSA. Babu Karuppiah, S. RajaramA Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises a collection of sensor nodes networked for applications like surveillance, battlefield, monitoring of habitat. Nodes in a WSN are usually highly energy-constrained and expected to operate for long periods from limited on-board energy reserves. When a node transmits data to a destination node the data is overheard by the nodes that are in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 8 · 13 May 2014 · 6,729 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModification of Carbon Steel by Laser Surface Melting: Part II: Effect of Laser Beam Power on Microstructural Features and Surface HardnessHashem F. El-Labban, M. Abdelaziz, Essam R.I. MahmoudThe surface hardness has an important effect on the wear resistance of different materials. The present study aims to improve the surface hardness of carbon steel through the application of laser surface melting with suitable conditions. The laser beam power and travelling speed are the main factors that affect the properties of the treated zone. In this study, three different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Jan 2014 · 7,208 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPLEMENTATION OF SPACE VECTOR PULSE WIDTH MODULATION TECHNIQUE WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM TO OPTIMIZE UNIFIED POWER QUALITY CONDITIONERM. Shankar, S. Monisha, H. Shesna et al.This study proposes a novel control design of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). This design is enabled by a control framework that employs Genetic Algorithm which determines optimum points and angle for filtering and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation Technique (SVPWM) to offer significant flexibility to optimize waveform. In addition the same framework integrates the major functions of the UPQC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 14 Dec 2013 · 6,711 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStatic and Dynamic Location of Variable Impedance Devices for Stability StudiesN. Magaji, M. W. Mustafa, Ado Dan-Isa, A. U. LawanThis study used the concept of model controllability and observability in product form called residue factor to find the best location of Thyristor-Controlled based series and shunt devices called variable impedance devices. The success of this controller depends on its best possible location in busbar or line of power system network. The method is based on the relationship between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 6,625 accessesView PDFCite
