In order to promote the desulfurization efficiency of calcium-based sorbents during coal combustion in traveling grate boilers, the influences on sulfur removal of the thermal conditions and the sorbents were discussed in this paper. It was found that the SO2 concentration first rises, then...

The design of the flow field greatly affects the flow distribution and the final performance of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) system. The clamping force between the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the flow field plate (FFP) will cause the inhomogeneous compression of the GDL. Then...

Parabolic solar dish concentrator with sphere receiver is less studied. We present an analytic function to calculate the intercept factor of the system with real sun brightness distribution and Gaussian distribution, the results indicate that the intercept factor is related to the rim angle of...

The aim of this article is to give a general introduction to the theory of interacting particle methods, and an overview of its applications to computational finance. We survey the main techniques and results on interacting particle systems and explain how they can be applied to the numerical...

We present a new algorithm to compute the Snell envelope in the specific case where the criteria to optimize is associated with a small probability or a rare event. This new approach combines the Stochastic Mesh approach of Broadie and Glasserman with a particle approximation scheme based on a...
