Abstract Recently, computation offloading has become an effective method for overcoming the constraint of a mobile device (MD) using computation-intensive mobile and offloading delay-sensitive application tasks to the remote cloud-based data center. Smart city benefitted from offloading to edge point. Consider a mobile edge computing (MEC) network in multiple regions. They comprise N MDs and many access points, in which every MD has M independent real-time tasks. This study designs a new Task Offloading and Resource Allocation in IoT-based MEC using Deep Learning with Seagull Optimization (TORA-DLSGO) algorithm. The proposed TORA-DLSGO technique addresses the resource management issue in the MEC server,… More >

Abstract To maximize energy profit with the participation of electricity, natural gas, and district heating networks in the day-ahead market, stochastic scheduling of energy hubs taking into account the uncertainty of photovoltaic and wind resources, has been carried out. This has been done using a new meta-heuristic algorithm, improved artificial rabbits optimization (IARO). In this study, the uncertainty of solar and wind energy sources is modeled using Hang’s two-point estimating method (TPEM). The IARO algorithm is applied to calculate the best capacity of hub energy equipment, such as solar and wind renewable energy sources, combined heat and power (CHP) systems, steam… More >

Abstract In the era of the Internet of Things (IoT), the ever-increasing number of devices connected to the IoT networks also increases the energy consumption on the edge. This is prohibitive since the devices living on the edge are generally resource constrained devices in terms of energy consumption and computational power. Thus, trying to tackle this issue, in this paper, a fully automated end-to-end IoT system for real time monitoring of the status of a moving vehicle is proposed. The IoT system consists mainly of three components: (1) the ultra-low power consumption Wireless Sensor Node (WSN), (2) the IoT gateway and… More >

Abstract Madness has attracted and frightened for centuries, and talking about this means discussing how this diversity was built and managed in different social contexts and historical periods. Not all societies have had, and still have, the same relationship with madness. It is only with the affirmation of the Modern State, and of Capitalism, that the idea of “normality” indispensable to be able to conceive diversity as something dangerously distant and different from the norm takes over. In our post-modern society, people with mental illness in Italy can resort to specialists and social-health services. But the heterogeneous answers given after the… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The combustion and heat transfer characteristics of hydrogen-air or methane-air mixtures in catalytic micro-combustors were studied numerically to assess the impact of wall thermal properties and key operation parameters on the thermal uniformity. A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model was developed with detailed hetero-/homogeneous chemistry, heat conduction within the solid wall, surface radiation heat transfer, and external heat losses. Parametric studies were carried out to investigate the effect of wall thermal conductivity, feed composition, and flow rate on the thermal uniformity during highly exothermic catalytic reactions. Comparisons of hydrogen- with methane-air systems were made. Based on these insights, an… More >

Abstract This paper presents the results of numerical analysis of steady laminar natural convection and surface radiation in the two dimensional partially right side open square cavity filled with natural air (Pr = 0.70) as the fluid medium. The cavity has left isothermal hot wall with top, bottom and right adiabatic walls. In the present study, the governing equations i.e. Navier-Stokes Equation in the stream function – vorticity form and Energy Equation are solved for a constant thermophysical property fluid under the Boussinesq approximation. For discretization of these equations, the finite volume technique is used. For the radiation calculations, the radiosity-irradiation… More >

Abstract The manuscript deals with the critical review for cooling of discrete heated electronic components using liquid jet impingement. Cooling of electronic components has been a lead area of research in recent years. Due to the rapid growth of electronic industries, there is an enormous rise in the system power consumption, and the reduction in the size of electronic components has led to a rapid increase in the heat dissipation rate per unit volume of components. The present paper deals with the role of liquid jet impingement (heat flux removal rate 200 - 600 W/cm²) for cooling of electronic components. The… More >

Abstract A systematic approach for the optimal positioning of multiple isothermal heat sources mounted on the walls of a side vented open cavity filled with natural air (Pr = 0.70) under natural convection and surface radiation is discussed. A numerical investigation is performed for the different possible cases with the two isothermal heat sources of equal dimensions mounted on the walls of the cavity. The geometrical parameters like the aspect ratio (A = 2), side vent ratio (W1 = 0.50) and side port ratio (W2 = 0.50) along with the most pertinent parameters like Rayleigh Number (10⁴ ≤ Ra ≤ 10⁷… More >

Abstract Connected and autonomous vehicles are seeing their dawn at this moment. They provide numerous benefits to vehicle owners, manufacturers, vehicle service providers, insurance companies, etc. These vehicles generate a large amount of data, which makes privacy and security a major challenge to their success. The complicated machine-led mechanics of connected and autonomous vehicles increase the risks of privacy invasion and cyber security violations for their users by making them more susceptible to data exploitation and vulnerable to cyber-attacks than any of their predecessors. This could have a negative impact on how well-liked CAVs are with the general public, give them… More >

Abstract This paper describes extended numerical analyses on vapor pressure distribution in a centered-wick ultra-thin heat pipe. Analyses were conducted by using a three-dimensional model developed by the author. Numerical results were obtained changing design parameters and operating conditions of the heat pipe. Discussion was made on the heat transfer limit as well as the vapor pressure drop. Moreover, a simple method was also presented to evaluate the vapor pressure drop in the ultra-thin heat pipe. Calculated results with the simple method agreed in 10 % with the three-dimensional numerical results. More >
