    Chong Xu1, Hao Zhu1, Haotian Zhu2, Jirong Wang1, Qinghai Zhao1,3,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.137, No.3, pp. 2567-2591, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029152

    Abstract A new and improved RRT algorithm has been developed to address the low efficiency of obstacle avoidance planning and long path distances in the electric vehicle automatic charging robot arm. This algorithm enables the robot to avoid obstacles, find the optimal path, and complete automatic charging docking. It maintains the global completeness and path optimality of the RRT algorithm while also improving the iteration speed and quality of generated paths in both 2D and 3D path planning. After finding the optimal path, the B-sample curve is used to optimize the rough path to create a smoother and more optimal path.… More > Graphic Abstract

    RO-SLAM: A Robust SLAM for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in a Dynamic Environment

    Jingtong Peng*

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 2275-2291, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.039272

    Abstract When applied to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), existing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms are constrained by several factors, notably the interference of dynamic outdoor objects, the limited computing performance of UAVs, and the holes caused by dynamic objects removal in the map. We proposed a new SLAM system for UAVs in dynamic environments to solve these problems based on ORB-SLAM2. We have improved the Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSPNet) using Depthwise Separable Convolution to reduce the model parameters. We also incorporated an auxiliary loss function to supervise the hidden layer to enhance accuracy. Then we used the improved PSPNet… More >

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.47, No.2, pp. 2417-2437, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.038074

    Abstract Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro are becoming increasingly popular due to the fewer negative impacts they have on the environment. Because, Since the production of renewable energy sources is still in the process of being created, photovoltaic (PV) systems are commonly utilized for installation situations that are acceptable, clean, and simple. This study presents an adaptive artificial intelligence approach that can be used for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in solar systems with the help of an embedded controller. The adaptive method incorporates both the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and the Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The WOA… More >

    Little Secrets for the Successful Industrial Use of Tannin Adhesives: A Review

    Antonio Pizzi*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.9, pp. 3403-3415, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.030930

    Abstract This brief article reviews a very particular and quite narrow field, namely what has been done and what is needed to know for tannin adhesives for wood panels to succeed industrially. The present fashionable focus on bioadhesives has led to producing chemical adhesive formulations and approaches for tannin adhesives as a subject of academic publications. These, as good and original they might be, are and will still remain a rather empty academic exercise if not put to the test of real industrial trials and industrial use. They will remain so without the “little” secrets and techniques outlined here that show… More >

    EFFECT OF ASPECT RATIO ON SUPERCRITICAL HEAT TRANSFER OF CRYOGENIC METHANE IN ROCKET ENGINE COOLING CHANNELS

    M. Arun, J. Akhil, K. Noufal, Robin Baby, Darshitha Babu, M. Jose Prakash*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.8, pp. 1-9, 2017, DOI:10.5098/hmt.8.23

    Abstract The supercritical turbulent flow of cryogenic methane flowing in a rocket engine cooing channel is numerically analysed by imposing constant heat flux at the bottom surface of the channel. The calculation scheme is validated by comparing the results obtained with experimental results reported in literature. The heat transfer coefficient is influenced by the strong variation in thermophysical properties of methane at super critical pressure. An increasing trend in the average value of Nusselt number is observed with aspect ratio. The efficacy of both Modified Jackson and Hall and Bishop empirical correlations in predicting Nusselt number is tested for cryogenic methane… More >

    MODELING OF MICRO/NANO CHANNEL FLOWS

    Yongbin Zhang*

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.8, pp. 1-7, 2017, DOI:10.5098/hmt.8.19

    Abstract This paper reviews the models for the fluid flow in micro/nano channels developed previously. These models include the full MDS (molecular dynamics simulation) model, the quasi-continuum model, the modified Navier-Stokes equation model, the dissipative particle dynamics method, the lattice Boltzman method, the multiscale hybrid model and the flow factor approach model. It was pointed out that most of the models have their own imperfections like huge time and computer storage consumption for simulating a system of realistic size or inaccuracy because of the model limitation. It was also mentioned that the most challenging is to develop efficient models for simulating… More >

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.8, pp. 1-6, 2017, DOI:10.5098/hmt.8.18

    Abstract Study concerning a double skin flow with secondary ventilation was conducted numerically, in order to understand the basic mechanisms of the free convection in an open channel asymmetrically heated with uniform heat flux density (510 W/m2 ). The vertical channel corresponds to a double skin façade, which was immersed in a tank filled with water. The tank corresponds to the environment which allows us to overcome pressure conditions at the inlet and the outlet of the channel. The use of water allows neglecting radiation effect. The mass conservation equations of momentum and energy are solved using the finite volume method… More >
