This research explores the detection of flame front evolution in spark-ignition engines using an innovative neural network, the autoencoder. High-speed camera images from an optical access engine were analyzed under different air excess coefficient &...

The thermodynamic analysis of an increasing-pressure endothermic power cycle (IPEPC) integrated with closed-loop geothermal energy extraction (CLGEE) in a geothermal well at a depth from 2 km to 5 km has been carried out in this study. Using CLGEE ca...

The main objective of this manuscript is to build a model for the distribution of LNG as a marine fuel in the southern Baltic Sea based on a genetic algorithm in terms of cost. In order to achieve this, it was necessary to develop, in detail, researc...

Amidst an energy crisis stemming from increased energy costs and the looming threat of war, there has been a burgeoning interest in energy conservation and management worldwide. Industrial complexes constitute a significant portion of total energy co...

Although there are constant improvements in wave energy converter (WEC) technology, it is crucial to investigate site-specific sea conditions for optimal power absorption and efficiency. This study compares the efficiency of a floating buoy-type WEC...

This study presents an optimal design for a new rotary engine. Instantaneous shape functions were applied to the combustion chamber, and intake and exhaust ports were derived based on the rotor and housing design functions; then optimized design para...

This paper introduces a simultaneous optimization approach to synthesizing work and heat exchange networks (WHENs). The proposed work and heat integration (WHI) superstructure enables different thermodynamic paths of pressure and temperature-changing...

The thermal structure of the lithosphere is key to understanding its thickness, properties, evolution, and geothermal resources. Cratons are known for their low heat flow and deep lithospheric roots. However, present-day cratons in East China have ge...

Grass collected as part of roadside maintenance is conventionally subjected to composting, which has the disadvantage of generating significant CO2 emissions. Thus, it is crucial to find an alternative method for the utilisation of grass waste. The a...

The investigation into the degradation of metronidazole (MNZ), a frequently employed antibiotic, through the electrochemical activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) utilizing either boron-doped diamond (BDD) or dimensional stable anode (DSA) as the ano...
