Various equations are being developed and applied to predict photovoltaic (PV) module generation. Currently, quite diverse methods for predicting module generation are available, with most equations showing accuracy with ≤5% error. However, the accur...

The increased use of renewable energy is imperative as a countermeasure to climate change. As with conventional electricity generation technologies, public acceptance of renewables is an important issue, and willingness to pay (WTP) is a widely used...

In recent years, two dimensional (2D) hydraulic components have significantly flourished. After a brief development introduction of the 2D pump and 2D flowmeter, it could be concluded that the churning loss, which is caused by the rotational motion o...

Pressure is a physical quantity that is indispensable in the study of transport phenomena. Previous studies put forward a pressure constitutive law and constructed a partial differential equation on pressure to study the convection with or without he...

The melting flow and heat transfer of copper-oxide coconut oil in thermal energy storage filled with a nonlinear copper metal foam are addressed. The porosity of the copper foam changes linearly from bottom to top. The phase change material (PCM) is...

The process of reaching carbon neutrality by 2050 and cutting CO2 emissions by 2030 by 55% compared to 1990 as per the EU Green Deal is highly complex. The energy mix must be changed to ensure long-term environmental sustainability, mainly by closing...

Increasing usage of petroleum-based insulating oils in electrical apparatus has led to increase in pollution and, at the same time, the oils adversely affect the life of electrical apparatus. This increases the demand of Mineral Oil (MO), which is on...

Concern over the asymmetric phenomena in the core region has increased considering safety issues that are highly possible to reduce the thermal margin significantly in nuclear power plants. Since the seized reactor coolant pump (RCP) accident of an a...

The control system for a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) supplied by a grid-connected Current Source Converter (CSC) is presented in this paper. Nonlinear transformation of DFIG model to the multi-scalar form is proposed. The nonlinear control...

Seismic data and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data are two of the highly trustable kinds of information in hydrocarbon reservoir engineering. Reservoir fluids influence the elastic wave velocity and also determine the NMR response of the reservoi...
