To optimize this combination, single crystalline silicon solar cell was analyzed using quasi-one-dimensional transport of electrons and holes in crystalline semiconductor, PC1D. Approach: Effects of the resistance of the emitter and base contact have been investigated with a view to find … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2011 · 8,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Bulldozer's Engine Load Factor on Fuel Consumption, CO2 Emission and CostVladislav Kecojevic, Dragan KomljenovicProblem statement: Bulldozers consume a large amount of diesel fuel and consequently produce a significant quantity of CO2. Environmental and economic cost issues related to fuel consumption and CO2 emission represent a substantial challenge to the mining industry. Approach: Impact of engine load conditions on fuel consumption and the subsequent CO2 emission and cost was analyzed for Caterpillar bulldozers. Results … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,144 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Location of Static Var Compensator Device for Damping OscillationsM. W. Mustafa, N. MagajiProblem statement: Static Var Compensators (SVC) devices are used to improve voltage and reactive power conditions in AC systems. An additional task of SVC is to increase transmission capacity as result of power oscillation damping. The effectiveness of this controller depends on its optimal location and proper signal selection in the power system network. A residue factor had been proposed … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,374 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Performance Parameters of Threshing Unit in a Single Plant ThresherEzzatollah Askari Asli-Ardeh, Yousef Abbaspour-Gilandeh, Saeid AbbasiProblem statement: The rice is the one of important crop in the word which is cultivated at the extensive area of Iran. Yield of crop is a factor which is investigated in the breading researches. Usually, for threshing of crops at these studies, single plant thresher is used. Approach: In this study, the threshing unit of a type of single … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 8,535 accessesView PDFCite
