Waste heat recovery is very important, because not only it reduces the expenditure of heat generation, but also it is of high priority in environmental consideration, such as reduction in greenhouse gases. One of the devices is used in waste heat recovery is heat pipe heat exchanger.Anexperimental research has been carried out to investigate the hydrodynamic and thermal performance of a gas...

In this paper, we investigate an event based protection scheme for dc power system which includes hybrid energy sources. The proposed protection scheme requires less time when compared with other methods. In this method, fault can be isolated and efficiency can be improved. The performance of protection scheme was evaluated under the transmission lines.

Tuning methods for selecting appropriate parameter configurations of optimization algorithms have been the object of several recent studies. The selection of the appropriate configuration may strongly impact on the performance of evolutionary algorithms. In this paper, we study the performance of three memetic algorithms for the quadratic assignment problem when their parameters are tuned eithe...

We show this configuration in Figure 1. We calculate that the energy of this configuration is HΛ(σ|σ) = 0. We can calculate the energy of this configuration in a different way, using line segments separating lattice points with different spins, as follows. For an n × n square, there are 2n(n + 1) nearest neighbor interactions. Put a line segment between every two lattice points with different s...

Assembly lines are special flow-line production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity standardized commodities. Recently, assembly lines even gained importance in low volume production of customized products (mass-customization). Due to high capital requirements when installing or redesigning a line, its configuration planning is of great relevance ...

a water soluble polysaccharide, hb-1, with a molecular weight of 23,930, was isolated from radix ranunculi ternati. by hot water extraction, ethanol precipitation, deproteination，ultrafiltration and gel-filtration column chromatography. its sugar composition was determined by glc as glc, ara, and gal in a molar ration of 16.071: 2.722: 1. and the absolute configuration of glc was identified as ...
