Small-Scale Turbines (SSTs) are among the most important energy-extraction-enabling technologies in domestic power production systems. However, owing to centrifugal forces, the high rotating speed of SSTs causes excessive strains in the aerofoil port...

The optimization of energy production in renewable energy systems is crucial to improve energy efficiency. In this context, the aim of this study focuses on maximizing the efficiency of a switched reluctance generator. This paper presents a novel app...

Stability and efficiency are the two most important performance indicators of highly loaded aviation axial compressors; however, they often cannot be achieved simultaneously. As an effective means of stability expansion, casing treatment usually dama...

Automotive driving simulators are widely used in driving schools and training centers, where they help students acquire the necessary skills without risk to life and health. This paper presents modern research in the field of creating a model and a r...

This experimental study aimed to validate the integration of a gravitational loop heat pipe (GLHP) with respect to a gas fireplace insert. The GLHP was utilized to enhance the efficiency of the fireplace by preheating the combustion air with waste he...

One of the key parameters in the analysis of some motorcycle accident dynamics is the motorcycle’s deceleration during engine braking without applying the brakes. Since this issue lies far beyond what is usually of most interest—the criti...

Pulse–width modulated inverters are commonly used to control electrical drives, generating a common mode voltage and current with high–frequency components that excite the parasitic capacitances within electric machines, such as permanent...

In recent years, there has been growing attention from the scientific community regarding the environmental impact of commercial goods, pushing companies to adopt life cycle assessment strategies to improve their environmental profile. Only few studi...

Historically, mining operations have faced numerous challenges, including safety hazards, inefficiencies, and environmental concerns. However, recent advances in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence have presented opportunities for the m...

Moving on paths or trails present in natural environments makes autonomous navigation of unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) simpler and safer. In this sense, aerial photographs provide a lot of information of wide areas that can be employed to detect pat...
