The road transport system is expanding considerably in developing countries. Villages are connecting to major cities for business, education, health, and many other reasons because of road development and smooth transportation. There has been a rise...

Although solar photovoltaic (PV) system costs have declined, capital cost remains a barrier to widespread adoption. Do-it-yourself (DIY) system designs can significantly reduce labor costs, but if they are not attached to a building structure, they r...

Commercially available cochlear implants are designed to aid profoundly deaf people in understanding speech and environmental sounds. A typical cochlear implant uses a bank of bandpass filters to decompose an audio signal into a set of dynamic signal...

In this research, a numerical approach is created to assess the effective parameters of power transformer thermal management and, as a result, improve their cooling systems. This study analyzes the radiator’s thermal performance across several...

The characterization of small-size engines requires dedicated rigs that are usually used for loading the power unit. Adding the possibility of motoring the engine is an important advantage that allows more detailed information on operating characteri...

Development challenges in the domain of superconducting magnets are concentrated on technical problems in the current literature. Organizational, domain-specific challenges are often seen as secondary but must be considered with new holistic developm...

Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMSs) provide a competitive edge in the ever-evolving manufacturing landscape, offering the agility to swiftly adapt to changing customer demands and product lifecycles. Nevertheless, the complex and interconnected nat...

In today’s power system landscape, renewable energy (RE) resources play a pivotal role, particularly within the residential sector. Despite the significance of these resources, the intermittent nature of RE resources, influenced by variable wea...

A comprehensive review of uncertainties in power systems, covering modeling, impact, and mitigation, is essential to understand and manage the challenges faced by the electric grid. Uncertainties in power systems can arise from various sources and ca...

Ensuring an adequate bond between the steel tube and infilled concrete interface plays an essential role in achieving composite action for concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) columns. Thus, this study proposes a new type of large diameter CFST colum...

The Digital Twin is one of the major technology trends of the last decade. During the course of its rapid expansion into various fields of application, many definitions of the Digital Twin emerged, tailored to its respective applications. Taxonomies...

To reduce the carbon footprint of manufacturing processes, it is necessary to reduce the number of stages in the development process. To this end, integrating additive manufacturing processes with three-dimensional (3D) printing makes it possible to...

The prohibitive costs of small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) racks decrease PV adoption velocity. To overcome these costs challenges, an open hardware design method is used to develop two novel variable tilt racking designs. These are the first stilt...

Constant pressure variable flow reciprocating axial pumps (CPAP) are used in various applications, where a constant output pressure is maintained when the flow rate changes. When the hydraulic system is at rated pressure or less, the swash plate has...

This paper proposes a robust design-optimization approach for eBike drive units that incorporates the highly variable driver-dependent load collectives and system conditions into a fatigue calculation. In an initial step, the relevant influences and...

This study aims to assess the impact of the water ratio and nanoparticle concentration of neat diesel fuel on the performance characteristics of and exhaust gas emissions from diesel engines. The experimental tests were conducted in two stages. In th...

Understanding the phenomena that cause jet oscillations inside funnel-type thin-slab molds is essential for ensuring continuous liquid steel delivery, improving flow pattern control, and increasing plant productivity and the quality of the final prod...

Eliminating microbes in low-moisture foods (LMFs) is challenging because this requires the preservation of their raw quality during pasteurization. Vacuum steam pasteurization (VSP) has been shown to be effective in reducing microbes while maintainin...
