Climate change and urban heat island effects affect the energy consumption of buildings in urban heat islands. In order to meet the requirements of engineering applications for detailed daily design parameters for air conditioning, the 15-year summer...
The combustion of two non-woody types of biomass (almond shells and exhausted olive cake) in a domestic boiler at different loads was studied in order to evaluate their suitability as fuels. To select the optimal boiler operating conditions (excess a...
The purpose of this paper is to discuss an optimal operation and schedule of commerce air-conditioning system by considering the demand response in order to obtain the maximal benefit; this paper first collects the operating data of the chiller units...
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems represent a critical technological solution for addressing power grid load fluctuations by generating electrical power during peak load periods and storing energy during low load periods. As a prominent br...
Rotor and stator support structures of significant size and mass are required to withstand the considerable loads that direct-drive wind turbine electrical generators face to maintain an air-gap clearance that is open and stable. With the increase of...
The consequent-pole interior permanent-magnet (CPM) motor is a promising alternative for minimizing rare-earth magnet usage while supporting high-speed operation. However, rotor flux asymmetry often leads to distorted back-electromotive force wavefor...
During service, shoe-braked railway wheel steels are often subjected to a severe thermal cycle. Therefore, understanding the evolution of the microstructure and the resulting changes in mechanical properties during service is fundamental in the choic...
In this work, an optimization proposal for a model based on the definition of regions for crack propagation by means of the micromechanical comparison by SEM images and its application to failure assessment diagrams (FADs) is presented. It consists i...
The decarbonization of the operational fleet through the implementation of renewable and low-carbon fuels (LCFs) is considered a key factor in achieving the regulatory greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets set by the IMO and the EU. In parallel with...
