In order to reduce CO2 emissions economically, it is important to construct a Smart Community which is expected to be one of the solutions. In a Smart Community, energy supply and demand will be managed by some mathematical ...

A numerical study of the combustion of lean methane/air mixtures in a porous media burner is performed using a novelty geometry, cylindrical annular space. The combustion process takes place in the porous annular space ...

Fluid flow distribution among parallel channels usually play an important role on the global performance improvement of tubular process equipment, but remains difficult to be properly measured by experimental methods. ...

The toughening emission standards and the costs saving requirements are pushing to the limits the design of compact heat exchangers in the automotive industry, meaning that today’s heat exchangers need to operate with ...

This paper gives an experimental analysis of the effects of voltage reduction on a domestic refrigerator. The measured reduction in energy consumption is reported as well as the effects of voltage on cycle temperatures, ...

Jet control is of great interest to a wide range of industrial and environmental applications. This work presents an investigation on the closed-loop control of a turbulent round jet for enhancing the jet mixing. The ...
