One method of establishing a new society involving low environmental load, a so-called “recycling-based society,” is to recycle waste. If waste is incinerated, energy may be produced. However, if waste is to be converted to new raw materials or products, it is likely that energy will have to...

This paper presents a new numerical simulation method to calculate transient voltage profiles of lithium-ion secondary batteries. The method employs circuit analysis of an internal equivalent electric circuit composed of an electromotive force, an LR parallel circuit, and eight CR parallel...

In this paper, a control method with which it is possible to extract wind energy effectively, even when the system characteristic is unknown, is suggested. With this control method, it is possible to follow the quasi-maximum output only by measurements of the load terminal voltage and current,...

The two-dimensional thermal analysis code TAC-NC is modified from the analytical code TAC-2D in order to calculate temperature transients in the case of loss of forced cooling accidents of the HTTR (High Temperature engineering Test Reactor) such as a depressurization accident. The TAC-NC code...

A rigid lattice gas model of solid-liquid, liquid-gas, and solid-gas transformations is proposed. The total free energy is separated into a lattice part and a vibrational correction part. It is reported that the vibrational part plays an important role in obtaining the gas, liquid and solid...

Investigating honeycomb and triangular simple spin-12 Ising model ferromagnets, exact algebraic systems of linear identities are developed containing the spontaneous magnetization and other odd-number correlations where the coefficients depend upon the interaction parameters. Aided by...
