Introduction: One way to reduce the level of heat strain is to use personal evaporative cooling coats. such as the wrist, ankle, head and neck. The purpose of this study is to design, construct, and determine the cooling power of local cooling coatings and evaluate their efficiency in improving perceptual indicators in the laboratory. Materials and Methods: Initially, the design and constructio...

many mobile and off-grid devices include electronics and other electrical consumers like servo drives, which need a quite low supply power. since the price for photovoltaic modules drops continuously, photovoltaic power supply is interesting in more and more applications. in solar powered systems, a battery is needed to store energy for the night and cloudy periods. the power electronics of suc...

power transformers are important equipments in power systems. thus there is a large number of researches devoted of power transformers. however, there is still a demand for future investigations, especially in the field of diagnosis of transformer failures. in order to fulfill the demand, the first part reports a study case in which four main types of failures on the active part are investigate...

Natural gas is transmitted at high pressure levels. For industrial and domestic consumptions, this pressure should be reduced. Usually, mechanical valves accomplish this process. Turbo-expanders can replace these equipments and reduce gas pressure at city gate gas pressure reduction stations as well. Besides, they can recover the huge amount of high pressure gas energy and drive electrical gene...

Increasing the power (torque) of nowadays engines, along with reduction of fuel consumption and dimensions of them, cause to the use of turbocharged systems. Since turbo chargers are exposed to the exhaust hot gases and have a high operating speed, it is necessary to utilize high technology design and special materials with high cost. The temperature of the exhaust system with gasoline fuel som...
