Forward osmosis (FO) and pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) have gained attention recently as potential processes to solve water and energy scarcity problems with advantages over pressure-driven membrane processes. These processes can be designed to pro...

The wind energy pump system is a new green energy technology. The wide high efficiency region of pump is of great significance for energy conservation of wind power pumping system. In this study, factorial experiment design (FED) and computational fl...

The surface contamination of electrical insulators can increase the electrical conductivity of these components, which may lead to faults in the electrical power system. During inspections, ultrasound equipment is employed to detect defective insulat...

The main aim of this work is the computational implementation and numerical simulation of a metal porous plasticity model with an uncertain initial microdefects’ volume fraction using the Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM) based on the sem...

This paper presents a novel approach that aims to predict better reservoir quality regions from seismic inversion and spatial distribution of key reservoir properties from well logs. The reliable estimation of lithology and reservoir parameters at sp...

The United States needs to add at least 20 GW of peaking capacity to its grid over the next 10 years, led by large-scale projects in California, Texas and Arizona. Of that, about 60% must be installed between 2023 and 2027, meaning that the energy st...

Electric vehicle (EV) powertrains consist of power electronic components as well as electric machines to manage the energy flow between different powertrain subsystems and to deliver the necessary torque and power requirements at the wheels. These po...

Tidal stream energy is acquiring more attention as a future potential renewable energy source. Considering the harsh submarine environment, the main challenges that face the tidal stream turbine (TST) industry are cost and reliability. Hence, simple...

This study examines the performance of Japanese electric power companies from 2003 to 2020. We use an observed data set from 2003 to 2015 and a forecasted data set from 2016 to 2020. The Japanese deregulation of the industry needs to be completed by...

Currently, there are challenges with proper disposal of cassava processing wastewater, and a need for sustainable energy in the cassava industry. This study investigated the impact of co-digestion of cassava wastewater (CW) with livestock manure (pou...
