As a new type of energy with the advantages of high efficiency, clean and pollution-free, fuel cells have attracted the attention of many experts and scholars. The efficient utilization of fuel cells will certainly become the mainstay of energy trans...

Durability and remaining useful life (RUL) prediction techniques are ones of the key issues for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (FC) commercialization. Herein, the performance degradation of an FC is analyzed based on the whole lifetime experiment...

A branch line coupler (BLC) with ultra-compact size and harmonic suppression ability using an LCL filter and meandered stubs is proposed in this paper. There are some important factors in microstrip coupler design, including size reduction, harmonic...

The agri-food industry generates significant quantities of plant-based food waste from processing, which offers a valuable research opportunity aimed at minimizing and managing these wastes efficiently in support of zero waste and/or circular economi...

In this work, a soft-elastic pulsation pump (SEPP) has been made and investigated. Here, 3D printing was used to make casting molds and a melt-removal method using wax was employed. The SEPP was made of silicone rubber and driven by an external squee...

In order to improve the hydrodynamic performance of flapping hydrofoils and solve the problem of insufficient hydrodynamic force in plain river network areas, in this study, we consider the more realistic swing of fish tails and propose an arc flappi...

In modern high-volume industries, the serial production line (SPL) is of growing importance due to the inexorable increase in the complexity of manufacturing systems and the associated production costs. Optimal decisions regarding buffer size and the...

Because of the existence of composite faults, which consist of both short-out and eccentricity faults, the characteristics of the output voltage and internal magnetic field of aviation generators are less different than those of single short-out faul...

The yields of chemical reactions are highly dependent on the mixing pattern between reactants. Herein, we report the modification of a meso-micromixing interaction reaction model which is applied in batch reactors by leveraging the flow characteristi...

The empirical formula is one of the traditional methods used for predicting ground deformation settlement caused by tunnel excavation. Due to its rationality and simplicity, the Peck formula is widely used for predicting surface subsidence. However,...
