Because the energy crisis and environmental pollution are significant concern, a next-generation combustion mode for internal combustion engines that can simultaneously reduce exhaust emissions and substantially improve thermal efficiency has attracted increasing attention. In the last two...

This study theoretically proposes and experimentally demonstrates the simultaneous reductions of NOx and soot using a novel combustion mode, (dual-fuel sequential combustion) DFSC, on a single-cylinder engine. DFSC introduces a well-mixed, lean fuel/air mixture into the cylinder by injecting...

The thermal matching performance analysis is conducted for a geothermal organic Rankine cycle system using zeotropic mixtures as working fluids. The constant isentropic efficiency is replaced by internal efficiency of an axial flow turbine with given size for each condition, and the zeotropic...

This study proposes and investigates a novel VCES (Vehicle power and cooling/heating Cogeneration Energy System), including a topping vehicle engine subsystem, and a bottoming waste-heat recovery subsystem which uses the zeotropic working fluid. The various grade exhaust and coolant waste-heat...

This study analyses the integrated characteristics of a CPS (combined power system) consisting of a topping diesel engine and a bottoming ORC (organic Rankine cycle). Two models (an integrated and a cascaded CPS model) for the same CPS have been developed based on the experimental data. The...

For a diatomic molecule system in Morse potential the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues have been found by supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SQM) approach. The result has shown that Morse potential is shape invariance. A method identifying the Morse potential according to the energy spectrum of...

Air-cooled power plants have been extensively applied in the dry areas with the ACSC (air-cooled steam condensers) to reject the waste heat from the turbine exhaust. However, the performance of the relevant condensers is sensitive to the meteorological conditions due to its exposing in the...
