Effective utilization of liquefied natural gas for distributed generation
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2015)Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is considered a safe and transportable fuel and could become a fueling option for distributed generation applications, particularly in locations which are situated far from centralized power ...

Large eddy simulation of thermocline flow phenomena and mixing during discharging of an initially homogeneous or stratified storage tank
(2014)This study investigates numerically the flow phenomena developing in the discharging process of a rectangular water tank used for thermal energy storage and how these affect the thermal mixing and the associated energy ...

Large eddy simulations of turbulent mixed convection in the charging of a rectangular thermal storage tank
(2013)The Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach is used to investigate numerically the mixed convection problem arising during the charging process of a rectangular water tank used for thermal energy storage. Two different charging ...

Long-Lived Hot Carriers in Formamidinium Lead Iodide Nanocrystals
(2017)The efficient harvesting of hot carrier energy in semiconductors is typically inhibited by their ultrafast thermalization process. Recently, highly promising experiments reported on the slowdown of the intraband relaxation ...

Modelling and Simulation of Bolted Joints under Harmonic Excitation
(2003)Bolted metal joints under harmonic loading exhibit hysteretic behaviour. This is the major source of damping in frame structures with bolted joints, since the material damping of these structures is very small. In this ...

N2O decomposition over ceria-promoted Ir/Al2O3 catalysts: The role of ceria
(2016)The impact of CeO2 in the Al2O3-20wt% CeO2 support prepared by the co-precipitation method on the Ir particle size, morphology and oxidation state, and in turn on the deN2O catalytic activity (1000ppmN2O) of supported Ir ...

Numerical simulations of constant-influx gravity currents in confined spaces: Application to thermal storage tanks
(2016)This study uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to investigate numerically the flow phenomena in the intrusion region of a thermal storage water tank during discharge. The early times of the discharging process have ...

Numerical verification of a dual system's seismic response
(2012)Structural control through integration of passive damping devices within the building structure has been increasingly implemented internationally in the last years and has proven to be a most promising strategy for earthquake ...

Search for Lepton Flavor Violating Decays of a Heavy Neutral Particle in p p̄ Collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV
(2003)Lepton flavor violating decays of a heavy neutral particle in pp̄ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV were studied. The position of PP̄ collisions along the beam line was measured in the vertex time projection chamber (VTX). The ...

Upper and lower bounds on fsm switching activity
(2003)This paper obtains upper and lower bounds for the switching activity on the state lines of a finite state machine (FSM) that is driven with typical input sequences. By exploiting the symmetries between the Hamming distances ...

Viscoplastic flow in an extrusion damper
(2016)Numerical simulations of the flow in an extrusion damper are performed using a finite volume method. The damper is assumed to consist of a shaft, with or without a spherical bulge, oscillating axially in a containing ...

Watt matters most? Design space exploration of high-performance microprocessors for power-performance efficiency
(2007)Computer systems have evolved significantly in the last years leading to high-performance systems. This, however, has come with a cost of large power dissipation. As such, power-awareness has become a major factor in ...
