In the parking lots of public commercial areas, such as shopping malls, hospitals, and scenic spots, the parking spaces with electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities are often occupied by ordinary cars. How to regulate the parking order in the parki...

Removing heat from high-density information technology (IT) equipment is essential for data centers. Maintaining the proper operating environment for IT equipment can be expensive. Rising energy cost and energy consumption has prompted data centers t...

Seismically isolated nuclear power plants (NPPs) can provide substantial benefits towards reducing the failure probability of NPPs, especially for beyond design basis earthquake shaking. One risk posed by seismic isolation is the potential for poundi...

Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) systems generate electricity without the limitations of radiation intermittency, which is the case in solar photovoltaic systems. As energy demands steadily increase, there is a need to improve the conversion dynamics of TPV...

Climate change and severe emission regulations in many countries demand fuel and engine researchers to explore sustainable fuels for internal combustion engines. Natural gas could be a source of sustainable fuels, which can be produced from renewable...

The Paris Agreement was signed by 195 nations in December 2015 to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change following the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) and the 1997 Kyoto Protocol [...]

In this paper, the liquid cooling and vapor compression refrigeration system based on an Antifreeze-R134a Heat Exchanger (ARHEx) was applied to the thermal management system for high-power avionics in helicopters. The heat transfer performance of the...

Interleaved zero-voltage switching boost converters have been known for over 20 years. However, the influence of parasitic capacitance of transistors has not been described. In this paper the converter is analyzed and the equation for voltage ratio i...

Gas-fired power units (GFUs) are the best technology in recent years due to lower natural gas prices, higher energy transformation performance, and lower CO2 emission, as compared to the conventional power units (CPUs). A permanent storage facility c...

The latest pre-production vehicles on the market show that the major technical challenges posed by integrating a fuel cell system (FCS) within a vehicle—compactness, safety, autonomy, reliability, cold starting—have been met. Regarding th...
