The performance differences between the fluidized-bed and the fixed-bed operation modes were comparatively studied in a pressurized coal-fuelled chemical looping combustion (CLC) process. Pressurized thermogravimetric (TG) analysis was applied to elucidate the findings observed in pressurized...

We develop a probabilistic consumer choice framework based on information asymmetry between consumers and firms. This framework makes it possible to study market competition of several firms by both quality and price of their products. We find Nash market equilibria and other optimal strategies...
