Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamic Simulation and Optimum Operation Strategy of a Trigeneration System Serving a HospitalFrancesco Calise, Massimo Dentice d'Accadia, Luigi Libertini et al.This paper presents a numerical analysis of a trigeneration system in a hospital, aiming at determining the cost-optimal operating strategy as a function of the energy demands to be matched. The system includes: A natural gas fired reciprocating engine, heat exchangers for waste-heat recovery, a single-stage LiBr-H2O Absorption Chiller (ACH), a cooling tower, pumps, a backup boiler, a backup vapour-compression … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 29 Aug 2016 · 8,177 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient FPGA Implementation to Estimate the Maximum Output Power of a Photovoltaic Panel Using Xilinx System GeneratorRezki Tadrist, Adnane Hassani, Mountassar Maamoun, Ali NesbaThis paper presents an efficient architecture for different mathematical models for optimal design of a photovoltaic system using Xilinx System Generator (XSG). This architecture offers an alternative through a graphical user interface that combines MATLAB/Simulink and XSG and explores important aspects of the experimental implementation. The use of the Xilinx generator for calculating the power output of a photovoltaic system … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 5 May 2016 · 7,323 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Dynamic Behavior of Fish Oil/Silver Nitrate Solution in Mini-Channel, Effect of Alkane Addition on Flow Pattern and Interfacial TensionKirubanandan ShanmugamThe mini-fluidic contacting system is developed as process intensification platform as an attractive alternative for existing liquid-liquid extraction system for separation of Omega 3 PUFA from using Aqueous 50% Wt. Silver nitrate solution. To improve the performance of extraction in mini-fluidics, it is necessary to study the flow-dynamic behavior of fish oil silver nitrate system in the channel. Moreover, different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 26 Feb 2016 · 7,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGeometry Modification of Flywheels and its Effect on Energy StorageShenel Bankston, Changki MoThis paper examines the influence of various geometric configurations of flywheels on kinetic energy storage performance using finite element analysis. Historically flywheels have been used in various applications. From such applications as pottery wheels to steam engines, flywheels have been used to store mechanical energy. Currently, in the ever expanding world of green energy development, flywheel energy storage systems provide … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Sep 2015 · 8,414 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractON THE CHALLENGES OF THE USE AND INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCESMariano MartínOverview: Although renewable energy sources are plentiful, their availability is highly volatile in time and distributed across regions while and the processes that transform them into useful power or chemicals are underdeveloped. In this work we discuss on the scope for the use and integration of renewable energy sources and the future development of the alternatives. Energy, the sources and … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 11 Sep 2014 · 7,540 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE MANAGEMENT OF UNCERTAINTY: MODEL FOR EVALUATION OF HUMAN ERROR PROBABILITY IN RAILWAY SYSTEMLombardi Mara, Guarascio Massimo, Rossi GiulianoThe methodology of quantitative risk assessment in use in the railway industry refers the RAMS approach, as expected in EN 50126, to define the failure of the system. From the probability of failure follows the evaluation of the failure consequence, the check of the accident occurrence and finally, the analysis of the achievable accident scenarios to quantify the damage as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 30 Dec 2013 · 7,390 accessesView PDFCite
