The current problems associated with the maintenance of hard coal longwall mining depend on the application or use of extraction technologies. In order to make the best use of these technologies, a new approach based on simulation studies is necessar...
A mechanics-based mathematical model is developed for the support-parameter design of a pre-stressed expandable prop group in horizontal and gently inclined thin-vein stopes. First, pressure-arch theory and equivalent-beam theory are combined to deri...
This study introduces a novel transcritical CO2 pumpless Rankine power generation cycle based on the thermal compression concept, utilizing low-temperature renewable sources. The investigated theoretical system consists of a 5 kWe unit incorporating...
While traditional equations of state can determine thermophysical properties, they are computationally demanding, as most formulations are implicit and require iterative solutions. Dynamic simulation of complex energy systems involves various compone...
