Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDevelopment and Evaluation of a Low-Density Biomass Feeding System for Fluidized Bed GasifiersA. E. Ghaly, A. Ergudenler, S. Alsuhaibani, V. V. RamakrishnanFor efficient operation of a biomass gasifier, the biomass material must be fed continuously to the system. A feeding system for chopped straw and rice husk was designed, constructed and evaluated. It consisted of: a frame, a hopper, an auger, two agitators, a drive system and a power unit. Initial testing showed that wheat straw and rice husk, being highly … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 7 Nov 2013 · 8,039 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Based Plus Integral Controller for PMBLDC Motor Control using Resonant Pole InverterMuruganantham, PalaniPermanent Magnet Brushless DC (PMBLDC) motor drives are increasingly popular in industrial applications due to rapid progress of technologies in power electronics and the growing demand for energy saving. The increasing demand of energy saving from society is the external force for the development of PMBLDC motor drives. It is however driven by a hard-switching Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) inverter, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 12 · 5 Jan 2013 · 8,146 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Effusivity Measurement of Virgin Coconut Oil-Methanol Mixtures using Photoacoustic TechniqueFiras Kamel Mohamad Al-asfoor, W. Mahmood Mat Yunus, Azmi Zakaria et al.Thermal effusivity of virgin coconut oil-methanol mixtures were measured using open photoacoustic cell technique. The samples were prepared by simply mixing virgin coconut oil and methanol using similar procedure applied for preparation of biodisel. Thermal effusivity of the sample was obtained by fitting the experimental data of photoacoustic amplitude signal to the expression of photoacoustic signal as a function of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,596 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling and Simulation of a Novel Switched Reluctance Motor Drive System with Power Factor ImprovementG. Venkatesan, R. Arumugam, M. Vasudevan et al.This study presents a novel Switched Reluctance Motor (SRM) drive system with power factor improvement. Recently, many of the converters with variable speed drives have no input power factor correction circuits. This results in harmonic pollution of the utility supply, which should be avoided. The effect of power factor variation in terms of harmonic content is also analyzed in this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2006 · 7,096 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReal Time Hybrid Controller Implementation for Switched Reluctance Motor DriveS. Paramasivam, R. ArumugamThis study presents the real time hybrid controller implementation for a Switched Reluctance motor Drive. The developed hybrid control law consists of Proportional Integral (PI) controller at steady state, PI-type fuzzy logic controller (FLC) at transient state and a simple logic controller between steady and transient states to achieve desired performance at various operating conditions under soft chopping operation. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2004 · 7,240 accessesView PDF Cite
