Abstract: The equilibrium feedback assessment (EFA) is combined with the singular value decomposition (SVD) to assess the large-scale feedback modes from a lower boundary variability field onto an atmospheric field. The leading ...

Abstract: Cogeneration can improve energy utilization efficiency significantly. In this paper, a new ammonia-water system is proposed for the cogeneration of refrigeration and power. The plant operates in ...

Abstract: An integrated dual approach aimed at controlling the dynamic response of anisotropic cantilevered thin-walled beams to blast and sonic-boom loading is presented. The approach is based upon the ...

Abstract: An initial value method is introduced in this paper for the solution of a class of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems. The method can be applied to the class of equations where ...

Abstract: Two power plant schemes that reduce CO2 emission and employ natural gas reforming were analyzed and discussed. The first one integrates natural gas reforming technology for efficiency improvement ...

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate the impacts of housing affordability, which can be denoted as the ratio of housing price (HP) and monthly expense per person (EXP), travel time to the city center, distance to a subway station, ...

Abstract: Excessive vibration in largecapacity turbine generators can lead to expensive repairs and downtime with associated loss of operational income. Therefore, it is vital to detect the rubbing location in the rotor system at ...

Abstract: This paper is the first part of a study presenting the concept of indirect thermochemical upgrading of low/mid temperature solar heat, and demonstration of its integration into a high efficiency ...
