In this study, the energy demand of a house in Gebze, Turkey, is met by using wind energy as a primary energy source combined with rechargeable batteries. The wind-battery system is simulated by MATLAB while considering that energy continuity is maintained by using a sufficient number of batteries. A life-cycle cost analysis is carried out over a 20-year system lifetime because the operating ti...

in a steam power plant, the temperature of the cooling water leaving the condenser for recyclingshould decrease. this is achieved in a cooling tower. the heller cooling tower does not require waterfor operation, thus, it is a suitable system for use in thermal power plants throughout iran. wind is anenvironmental factor that unfavorably affects the performance of a cooling tower. previous studi...

well known and popular a work as Kinger's " Hand-book of therapeutics," to point out tliat it contains several additions which makes its possession desirable even if previous editions are in hand. One novel feature is a brief sketch of the symptoms of disease from a therapeutic point of view?of the indications for treatment afforded by the tongue, pulse, skin, temperature, &c. This is very well...

The thermohaline circulation (THC) affects the meridional atmospheric temperature gradient and therefore the atmospheric wind and the wind driven ocean circulation. The wind driven circulation (WDC), in turn, affects the THC by the advection of salinity anomalies into deep water formation sites. This paper considers this two way coupling between the WDC and THC, using tools from engineering fee...

The effects of wind uncertainty on aircraft fuel consumption are analyzed using a probabilistic trajectory predictor. The case of cruise flight subject to an average constant wind is considered. The average wind is modeled as a random variable; the wind uncertainty is obtained from ensemble weather forecasts. The probabilistic trajectory predictor is based on the Probability Transformation Meth...

A new bulk parameterization of the air–sea momentum flux at high wind speeds is proposed based on coupled wave–wind model simulations for 10 tropical cyclones that occurred in the Atlantic Ocean during 1998–2003. The new parameterization describes how the roughness length increases linearly with wind speed and the neutral drag coefficient tends to level off at high wind speeds. The proposed par...
