The interactions among the multi-carrier energy systems provide opportunity to achieve affordable and clean by using resources in a more efficient way. In this paper, transactive (TE) framework for optimal management of multiple hubs (EHs) is proposed. Each EH system performing day-ahead schedule its electrical, thermal, cooling demand profiles manages internal reduce total expenses emission le...

Based on an effective energy conversion method between gas enthalpy and thermal radiation, a multi-layered type of porous air heater has been proposed. In the five layered structure which is analyzed in this work, there are five porous layers which are separated by four quartz glass windows. The main layer operates as a porous radiant burner that products a large amount of thermal radiative ene...

Switching from coal-fired to natural gas-fired generation and increasing the thermal efficiency (energy generated per unit of energy burned) of fossil fuel fired electricity generation plants has been identified as ways of achieving meaningful emission reductions. In this study, we examine the fuel-price responsiveness across gas plant technologies and across the market structures in which the ...

Recently, several electronic personal dosemeters (EPDs) capable of measuring neutron dose equivalents were developed and have appeared on the market. The authors initiated the present study to assess performance of neutron EPDs. The EPD selected for this study was NRY21, manufactured by Fuji Electric Systems Co., Ltd. This dosemeter uses two silicon semiconductor detectors (a fast neutron senso...

This paper proposes a new model for multi-area dynamic economic dispatch (MA-DED) problem, taking into account hydro-thermal generating units, wind power generation and power pool market, for supplying the overall demand of the system for a given horizon. The uncertainties in wind power generations, energy prices and demand of the system are also modeled to make the proposed approach more pract...

the energy requirement of vacuum membrane distillation (vmd) with or without recirculation was modelled using both experimental results and theoretical data. the trends are generally consistent between the theoretical and experimental data. thermal energy contributes the most to the total energy required for the vmd process. to lower the thermal energy cost, waste heat resource and heat recover...

nowadays, energy plays an important role in the economic and community development of country. consequently, performance analysis of energy systems is one of the effective methods being used to prevent waste of energy resources. among the different power generation technologies, steam power plants make a significant contribution to power generation in iran, with a share of 47 % of electricity g...

composite solid propellants were prepared with and without nano-alloys (ti-co, ti-ni, ti-zn), where nano-alloys used as catalyst. these nano-alloys are prepared by hydrazine reduction method. catalytic properties of these nanomaterials were measured on ammonium perchorate/hydroxyterminatedpolybutadiene propellant by thermogravimetery analysis and differential thermal analysis. both experimental...
