Water heating is a major component of domestic electrical energy usage, in some countries contributing to 25% the residential sector consumption. Demand response strategies can reduce time-of-use costs and overall We present method usage itself. Our novel schedule control minimises electric water heater's without compromising user convenience. achieve optimal control, while taking into account ...

In this paper, Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 core/shell magnetic nanostructure has been synthesized and modified by N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (AEAPTMS). Fe 3 O 4 @SiO 2 was used as a novel adsorbent for separation of hexachloroplatinic acid.X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FT-IR technique were used to characterize morphologies and surface te...
