The solution for the nucleon-nucleon (NN) T matrix in the framework of the covariant Bethe-Salpeter approach for a two spin-one-half particle system with a separable kernel of interaction is analyzed. The explicit analytical connection between parameters of the separable kernel and low energy scattering parameters, deuteron binding energy and phase shifts is established. Covariant separable ker...

A novel technique to estimate and model parameters of a 460-MVA large steam turbine generator from operating data is presented. First, data from small excitation disturbances are used to estimate linear model armature circuit and field winding parameters of the machine. Subsequently, for each set of steady state operating data, saturable inductances and are identified and modeled using nonlinea...

A new method of optimization on linear parabolic solar collectors using exergy analysis is presented. A comprehensive mathematical modeling of thermal and optical performance is simulated and geometrical and thermodynamic parameters were assumed as optimization variables. By applying a derived expression for exergy efficiency, exergy losses were generated and the optimum design and operating co...
