A vehicular powertrain can be thought as an energy conversion chain, each component being characterized by its efficiency. Significant global efficiency improvements can be achieved once is identified the system energy breakdown, individuating the losses connected to each powertrain component;...

Combined Heat and Power based District Heating Networks (CHP/DHN) systems represent nowadays one of the most efficient technologies, as an alternative to standard space heating solutions, leading to lower GHG emission in atmosphere. Dynamic modelling of district heating networks is of...
