Abstract: The microscale organic Rankine cycle (ORC) system is considered a promising technology to recover thermal energy from widely distributed low-temperature heat sources. By using HFC-R225fa as working fluid, a 5-kW low-temperature ...

Abstract: Modern internal combustion (IC) engines have complex configurations with many parameters to be tuned, and this system complication usually leads to a large amount of engine calibration experiments. In this study, the active ...

Abstract: Biodiesel engines are found to have improved soot, hydrocarbon (HC), and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, with modestly increased nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) could be used for the NOx ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis based on the second law of thermodynamics was conducted for the ammonia/hydrogen/air premixed flames at different initial pressures. The irreversibility causing exergy losses in premixed flames was ...

Abstract: According to the test requirements stipulated in ECE/R66 and GB/T17578-1998, a finite element model of body frame and a finite element model of body with shin for type 6120 high—bed bus were established, and then the ...

Abstract: Shear-induced platelet activation is one of the critical outcomes when blood is exposed to elevated shear stress. Excessively activated platelets in the circulation can lead to thrombus formation and platelet consumption, ...
