    Fadwa Alrowais1, Jaber S. Alzahrani2, Radwa Marzouk1, Abdullah Mohamed3, Gouse Pasha Mohammed4,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.3, pp. 6145-6160, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.038300 - 29 April 2023

    Abstract Combined Economic and Emission Dispatch (CEED) task forms multi-objective optimization problems to be resolved to minimize emission and fuel costs. The disadvantage of the conventional method is its incapability to avoid falling in local optimal, particularly when handling nonlinear and complex systems. Metaheuristics have recently received considerable attention due to their enhanced capacity to prevent local optimal solutions in addressing all the optimization problems as a black box. Therefore, this paper focuses on the design of an improved sand cat optimization algorithm based CEED (ISCOA-CEED) technique. The ISCOA-CEED technique majorly concentrates on reducing fuel costs More >

    Xing Zhou1,2,5,6,*, Qi Wang1, Sai Feng1, Jingrui Deng1, Keming Zhu1, Yun Xing1,3, Xiaolian Meng3, Xiaojun Wang4, Lu Li5,6

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.5, pp. 2085-2108, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.025032 - 13 February 2023

    Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from waste plastics have caused global warming all over the world, which has been a central threat to the ecological environment for humans, flora and fauna. Among waste plastics, waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is attractive due to its excellent stability and degradation-resistant. Therefore, merging China’s carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals would be beneficial. In this review, we summarize the current state-of-the-art of carbon emission decrease from a multi-scale perspective technologically. We suggest that the carbon peak for waste PET can be achieved by employing the closed-loop supply chain, including recycling, biomass More > Graphic Abstract

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.74, No.3, pp. 5679-5690, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.034726 - 28 December 2022

    Abstract Residential sector is one of the energy-consuming districts of countries that causes CO2 emission in large extent. In this regard, this sector must be considered in energy policy making related to the reduction of emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. In the present work, CO2 emission related to the residential sector of three countries, including Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam in Southeast Asia, are discussed and modeled by employing Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) neural networks as powerful intelligent methods. Prior to modeling, data related to the energy consumption of these countries… More >

    Abstract Microcapsule self-healing technology is one of the effective methods to solve the durability problem of cement-based composites. The evaluation method of the self-healing efficiency of microcapsule self-healing cement-based composites is one of the difficulties that limits the self-healing technology. This paper attempts to characterize the self-healing efficiency of microcapsule self-healing cement-based composites by acoustic emission (AE) parameters, which provides a reference for the evaluation of microcapsule self-healing technology. Firstly, a kind of self-healing microcapsules were prepared, and the microcapsules were added into the cement-based composites to prepare the compression samples.

    Computer Systems Science and Engineering, Vol.45, No.2, pp. 1851-1867, 2023, DOI:10.32604/csse.2023.028136 - 03 November 2022

    Abstract Biometrics, which has become integrated with our daily lives, could fall prey to falsification attacks, leading to security concerns. In our paper, we use Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE) that are generated by the human cochlea in response to an external sound stimulus, as a biometric modality. TEOAE are robust to falsification attacks, as the uniqueness of an individual’s inner ear cannot be impersonated. In this study, we use both the raw 1D TEOAE signals, as well as the 2D time-frequency representation of the signal using Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). We use 1D and 2D… More >

    Investigation of the Effects of a Large Percentage of Dried Sludge on the Operation of a Coal-Fired Boiler

    Jialin Tong1,2, Yan Zhang2, Ruikang Wu1, Xiaojuan Qi1, Xuemin Ye2,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.4, pp. 1027-1041, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.022303 - 02 November 2022

    Abstract A 600 MW coal-fired boiler with a four-corner tangential combustion mode is considered here to study the combustion features and pollutant emissions at different loads for large-percentages of blending dried sludges. The influence of the over-fired air (OFA) coefficient is examined and the impact of the blending ratio on the boiler operation is explored. The results show that for low blending ratios, a slight increase in the blending ratio can improve the combustion of bituminite, whereas a further increase leads to the deterioration of the combustion of blended fuels and thus reduces the boiler efficiency. Enhancing… More > Graphic Abstract

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.4, pp. 1003-1014, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.022262 - 02 November 2022

    Abstract Biodiesel fuel is a potential alternative energy source for diesel engines due to its physiochemical characteristics relatively similar to those of traditional diesel fuel. In this study, the performance, emission, and combustion features of a mono cylinder DI diesel engine are assessed using 20% Pumpkin seed methyl ester (PSOME20) and considering varying injection pressures (200, 220, 240, and 260 bar). The considered Pumpkin seed oil is converted into pumpkin biodiesel by transesterification and then used as fuel. The findings demonstrate that the Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) of PSOME20 can be raised by 1.68%, and the More > Graphic Abstract
