Abstract: This paper proposes a new kind of multifunctional energy system (MES) using natural gas and coal to more efficiently and more economically produce methanol and power. Traditional chemical processes ...

Abstract: In this brief note, the effects of model reduction on the stability boundaries of control systems with parameter variations, and the limit-cycle characteristics of nonlinear control systems are ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel multifunctional energy system (MES) fueled by natural gas and solar radiation is proposed. In this MES, hydrogen and electricity are cogenerated and approximately 92% of ...

Abstract: Triaxial sonic anemometer velocity measurements vertically arrayed at six levels within and above a pine forest were used to examine the performance of two second-order closure models put forth by Wilson and Shaw and by ...

Abstract: A new kind of multifunctional energy system (MES) with multifossil fuels and multiproducts is proposed in this paper. This new system consumes coal and natural gas as fuel simultaneously, and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel, multifunctional energy system (MES), in which hydrogen and electricity are cogenerated and about 90% of CO2 is removed. By integrating the methane/steam reforming ...

Abstract: Flaggers are always required to work close to open traffic lanes. They may be hit by distracted, speeding, or intoxicated drivers, leading to injuries and fatalities. To protect them, the concept of an automated flagging ...

Abstract: In this paper, the packaging aspects of directly modulated laser (DML) modules are investigated using detailed electromagnetic (EM) simulations. The packaging influences of the laser module are ...

Abstract: In this paper, a novel gas turbine cycle integrating methanol decomposition and the chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is proposed. Two types of methanol-fueled power plants, including the new gas ...
