Abstract This paper discusses two urgent problems that need to be solved in fully automatic operation (FAO) for urban rail transit. The first is the analysis of safety in FAO, while another is the analysis of efficiency in FAO. Firstly, this paper establishes an operational safety evaluation index system from the perspective of operation for the unique or typical risk sources of the FAO system, and uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate the indicators, analyzes various factors that affect the safe operation of FAO, and provides safety management recommendations for FAO lines operation to maintain the FAO system specifically.… More >

Abstract This paper presents an experimental thermal efficiency analysis for a novel flat plate solar air heater with several mass flow rates. The aims are to review of designed and analyzed a thermal efficiency of flat-plate solar air heaters. The measured parameters were the inlet and outlet temperatures, the absorbing plate temperatures, the ambient temperature, and the solar radiation. Further, the measurements were performed at different values of mass flow rate of air in flow channel duct. After the analysis of the results, the optimal value of efficiency is higher level of mass flow rate equal to 0.0202 kg/s in flow… More >

Abstract Vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) is considered one of the most potential large-scale energy storage technologies in the future, and its electrolyte flow rate is an important factor affecting the performance of VRFB. To study the effect of electrolyte flow rate on the performance of VRFB, the hydrodynamic model is established and a VRFB system is developed. The results show that under constant current density, with the increase of electrolyte flow rate, not only the coulombic efficiency, energy efficiency, and voltage efficiency will increase, but also the capacity and energy discharged by VRFB will also increase. But on the other… More >

Abstract The widespread use of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications has enormously increased the danger level of data leakage and theft in IoT as data transmission occurs through a public channel. As a result, the security of the IoT has become a serious challenge in the field of information security. Steganography on the network is a critical tool for preventing the leakage of private information and enabling secure and encrypted communication. The primary purpose of steganography is to conceal sensitive information in any form of media such as audio, video, text, or photos, and securely transfer it through wireless networks.… More >
