Abstract: In charging station services, user charging requirements limit the layout optimization of charging stations to realize total cost minimization. By combining the k-center algorithm and cloud model particle swarm algorithm, ...

Abstract: For improving the wear resistance, thick silicon doped hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-SiC:H) coatings were deposited on cold working tool steels by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology. The increase ...

Abstract: Recent years, the sintered silver paste was introduced and further developed for power electronics packaging due to low processing temperature and high working temperature. The pressure-less sintering technology reduces ...

Abstract: This investigation identified conditions at which corn straw ash melts and examined how this phenomenon affects the combustion of char residues. Corn straw was pelletized in cylinders and was burned at elevated temperatures ...
