In this study, the exergetic, exergoeconomic, and sustainability aspects of piston-prop aircraft engines are comprehensively reviewed. These analysis and assessment tools are applied to a four-cylinder, spark ignition, ...

Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions (BRDFs) are wellknown functions in computer graphics, and these special functions represent the surface reflectance of materials. BRDFs can be viewed as multivariate probability ...

In this study, a novel desiccant based air-conditioning system was considered. This system consisted of a desiccant wheel, heat exchangers, fans, evaporative cooler, electric heater unit to simulate solar energy, and ...

In this paper, we investigate three different gasifiers for hydrogen production, namely, downdraft gasifier (DG), circulating fluidized bed gasifier (CFBG) and plasma gasifier (PG) as taken from the literature under Cases ...

In this study, we investigate biomass-based hydrogen production through exergy and exergoeconomic analyses and evaluate all components and associated streams using an exergy, cost, energy and mass (EXCEM) method. Then, we ...

This study presents the energy, exergy, environmental, exergoeconomic, enviroeconomic and sustainability analyses of the Maisotsenko cycle based novel air cooler considering the nine different dead state temperatures, while ...

The aim of this series of two reports is to demonstrate that Control Network Programming (CNP), respectively WinSpider, can be used as an excellent environment for teaching and learning both nondeterminism and randomization. ...

We present a new real-time importance sampling algorithm for environment maps. Our method is based on representing environment maps using kd-tree structures, and generating samples with a single data lookup. An efficient ...

In this paper, computer aided games, which motivate and bring out the mathematical abilities of students, have been studied by inspiring 'Bachet's Game'. The winning strategies of the games are based on modular arithmetic. ...

This paper provides necessary conditions of optimality, in the form of a maximum principle, for optimal control problems of switching systems. Dynamics of the constituent processes take the form of stochastic differential ...
