Abstract: The multiobjective territorial particle swarm optimization (MOTPSO) technique is proposed in this work for the optimal design of steam surface condensers. The main objective of this work is to maximize the condensation ...

Abstract: A prediction model, which describes linear relationship between the nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions and the incylinder heat release rate in a directinjection diesel engine, was developed through numerical simulations. A ...

Abstract: In this paper, five biodiesel global combustion decomposition steps are added to a surrogate mechanism to accurately represent the chemical kinetics of the decomposition of different levels of saturation of biodiesel, which ...

Abstract: Safety issues of lithium-ion batteries under mechanical abuse have attracted worldwide attention due to its high uncertainty and high risks, following by the rapid increase of market share for lithium-ion battery-driven ...

Abstract: This article puts forward a computationally efficient block matrix based precise integration algorithm for solving vibration response subjected to time-variable excitation and nonlinearity, especially for nonhomogeneous ...

Abstract: The present work analyzes the thermalhydraulic behavior of the CANDU supercritical water reactor (SCWR) using a 1D numerical model. The possibility of a static instability, the Ledinegg excursion, is investigated, which ...
