Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnergy Option for Small Scale Cashew Nut Processing in IndiaAtul Mohod, Sudhir Jain, A.G. PowarProblem statement: Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) is one of the important tropical crops. India processed about 11,80,000 metric tons of raw cashew nut seeds through 3650 cashew processing industries scattered in many states of country. The cashew nut processing industries are typically located in the rural and backward areas. The most significant difficulty in processing cashew nuts is that the … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 16,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIntegrating Renewable and Nonrenewable Energies in Power Plant PlanningHabib H. Al-Ali, Yousef Saif, Ali Elkamel, Ali LohiProblem statement: Electricity can be generated from different type of technologies such as fossil and non-fossil power plants. Among these technologies, coal-fired power plants have been a major route for electricity generation. Recently, environmental constraints were imposed over the coal power plant operations in order to reduce their emissions. Besides, renewable energy power plants such as hydroelectric, wind, solar and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,804 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFuel and Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Potentials by Appropriate Fuel Switching and Technology Improvement in the Canadian Electricity Generation SectorFarshid Zabihian, Alan S. FungProblem statement: In recent years, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and their potential effects on global climate change have been a worldwide concern. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), power generation contributes more than half of the global GHG emissions. Approach: Purpose of this study is to examine GHG emission reduction potentials in the Canadian electricity generation sector through fuel switching … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,031 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling of the Three Phase Induction Motor Couple to DC Motor in Hybrid Electric VehicleZulkarnain Lubis, A. N. Abdalla, Mortaza, Ruzlaini GhonProblem statement: With emphasis on a cleaner environment and efficient operation, vehicles today rely more and more heavily on electrical power generation for success. Approach: Mathematical modeling the components of the HEV as the three phase induction motor couple to DC motor in hybrid electric vehicle was introduced. The controller of Induction Motor (IM) was designed based on input-output feedback … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 8,309 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach for Cooling Electronics Using a Combined Heat Pipe and Thermoelectric ModuleBanjerd Saengchandr, Nitin V. AfzulpurkarThe development of effective cooling systems for microprocessors, specifically for CPU and other computer chips, is greatly important due to growth of high speed performance chips, which operate at elevated heat rates. The same issues apply for adjacent units including RAM and HDD also contributing to overall generation of heat inside computer. Problem statement: Conventional cooling system for desktop PC … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,366 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Bidding Strategies for a Small Generation Company in a Day-Ahead Electricity Market with Bilateral Contracts Taken into AccountAzmi Saleh, Takao Tsuji, Tsutomu OyamaProblem Statement: Deregulation power systems have been force to change their structures, from vertically integrated to open market systems. Each generation company (Genco) is required to compete with rivals through bidding in a pool market and making a bilateral contract with a distribution company (Disco) or consumers to maximize its own profits. A unit commitment becomes responsible for each Genco … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,708 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of New Load Shedding Special Protection Schemes for a Double Area Power SystemH. Seyedi, M. Sanaye-PasandIn this paper several Under Frequency Load Shedding (UFLS) schemes are designed as special protection schemes to preserve the integrity of islands, formed following the outage of tie lines connecting two areas in a double area power system. For the purpose of analysis, the Iranian interconnected grid is simulated in a suitable power system analysis software. The grid is connected … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Study of Airflow around Vehicle A-pillar Region and Windnoise Generation PredictionM. H. Shojaefard, K. Goudarzi, H. FotouhiFlow separation and reattachment around the vehicle A-pillar region dictates strong pressure fluctuations on the side window surfaces and can also lead to generate aerodynamic noise. The objective of this work is to investigate qualitative flow visualization of airflow behaviour around vehicle A-pillar and its potential to generate windnoise in this region. By means of Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) under … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2009 · 7,335 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Fuzzy Mathematical Programming Approach to DEA ModelsA. Azadeh, S.F. Ghaderi, Z. Javaheri, M. SaberiEvaluating the performance of activities or organizations by traditional Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) as efficiency frontier analysis models requires crisp input/output data. However, in real-world problems inputs and outputs are often imprecise. This study develops DEA models using imprecise data represented by fuzzy sets. An important outcome of assessing relative efficiencies within a group of Decision Making Units (DMUs) in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 7,223 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQTL Mapping Using Multiple Markers SimultaneouslyD. Kolbehdari, J.A.B. RobinsonMethods for detecting and locating a single QTL within a 10 cM region of DNA using 10 equally spaced SNP markers were compared. The QTL was assumed to be bi-allelic and located between markers 5 and 6. Monte Carlo simulation of a granddaughter design with 30 sires and 400 sons was used. Linear regression nested within sire using either two … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,110 accessesView PDFCite
