In this paper, the parameter estimation of thermal dynamic discrete-time system for heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) is studied using recursive least square method. Parameters are estimated by using recursive least square method. Thermodynamic model of indoor test bed is formulated by outdoor temperature, HVAC power consumption, and thermal noise and estimated thermal dynamic pa...

an ever-increasing drift of energy consumption, unequal geographical distribution of natural wealth and the quest for low carbon fuel for a cleaner environment are sparking the production and use of biodiesels in many countries around the globe. in this work, jatropha and karanja biodiesels were produced from the respective crude vegetable oils through transesterification, and the different phy...

In this research, thermal buckling of thin rectangular plate made of Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) with linear varying thickness is considered. Material properties are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The supporting condition of all edges of such a plate is simply supported. ...

In this study, a new proposed multi-generation system as a promising integrated energy conversion system is studied, and its performance is investigated thermodynamically. The system equipped with parabolic trough collectors and biomass combustor to generate electricity, heating and cooling loads, hydrogen and potable water. A double effect absorption chiller to provide cooling demand, a proton...
