Decision analysis offer workable solutions in domain such as the environment, health and medicine, engineering and operations research and finance. In finance area we can observe a big variety of method and techniques for research fluctuates from economy and financial date. Most economic...

Jet impingement has been verified as an effective method to enhance convective heat transfer. To make better use of this effect, vacuum glazed transpired solar collector with slit-like perforations is developed. In this paper, a mathematical model based on energy balance equations for the solar...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate both environmental effects and cost effects of using less specified contracts regarding bus sizes in public bus transports. The process of choosing the best bid in the public procurement of bus transports is easier if the demands of the qualifications...

This paper presents an overview of the different methodologies and mathematical optimization models developed in the framework of the EU-funded project SiNGULAR towards the optimal exploitation and efficient short-term operation of RES production in insular electricity networks. Specifically,...

The aim of the present study is investigation of free convection cooling in an L-shape enclosure filled with copper–water nanofluid. The governing equations are solved numerically using finite volume approach. The effects of the volume fraction of the Cu nanoparticles, Rayleigh number and the...

Olive stone is a by-product of the olive grove especially suitable for thermal purpose in industrial, residential and home. To avoid maintenance problems in boilers and to increase the combustion efficiency, olive stone needs to be dried to moisture equilibrium, about 8% (wet basis). The thin...
