Towards increased adoption of furnace bottom ash as sustainable building materials: Characterization, standardization, and applications
(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-04)
The global demand for coal is projected to increase in the current decade despite concerns regarding climate change, which will lead to an increasing volume of coal waste products such as furnace bottom ash (FBA). The ...
Development of a composite model for predicting urban surface temperature distribution in the context of GIS
(Institute of Physics, 2023)
In this paper, we present a new model for simulating radiation heat transfer and surface temperatures in urban environments, which is a prerequisite for simulating outdoor mean radiant temperature for pedestrians. We propose ...
Improving wind speed forecasting at Adama wind farm II in Ethiopia through deep learning algorithms
(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-06)
Wind power plays a critical role in supporting Ethiopia's electricity generation, particularly during dry seasons when hydropower availability diminishes. This contribution becomes even more crucial for sustaining industrial ...
A Compact Microwave Quadrature Hybrid Coupler Using Capacitive Composite Lines and Meandered Stubs
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-12)
In this paper, a new structure of the quadrature hybrid coupler (QHC) with compact size is proposed using capacitive composite lines and meandered open stubs. The proposed coupler works at 1.6 GHz with a 0.4 GHz bandwidth, ...
Multi-Objective Assessment and Optimization of a High-Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell: Steady-State Analysis
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-12)
The design and operational conditions of high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) substantially impact their performance. This model aims to investigate the influence of various parameters on the ...
Setting time, sulfuric acid resistance, and strength development of alkali-activated mortar with slag & fly ash binders
(Elsevier B.V., 2024-03)
This study evaluated the effect of initial molar ratios SiO2/Al2O3 and (CaO + SiO2)/Al2O3, on the setting time of mortar with alkali-activated Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBS) and fly ash (FA) binders. The study ...
Towards explainability for AI-based edge wireless signal automatic modulation classification
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024-12)
With the development of artificial intelligence technology and edge computing technology, deep learning-based automatic modulation classification (AI-based AMC) deployed at edge devices using centralised or distributed ...
Multi-stage planning of integrated electricity-gas-heating system in the context of carbon emission reduction
(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-03)
In order to facilitate the carbon emission reduction to mitigate climate change, this paper proposes a coordinated multi-stage planning strategy for the transmission-level integrated electricity-gas-heating system. The ...
4E analysis and optimization of a novel hybrid biomass-solar system: Focusing on peak load management and environmental emissions
(Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2024-01)
Renewable energies are available as clean sources to replace fossil fuels. Providing continuous power without compromising the environment through hybridizing solar and biomass source is one of the promising solutions. ...
Characterisation of the transverse shear behaviour of binder-stabilised preforms for wind turbine blade manufacturing
(Elsevier Ltd, 2024-01-15)
Binder-stabilised preforms are being used increasingly in the production of large composite structures, such as wind turbine blades, to increase the throughput. The transverse shear behaviour of the preform is one of the ...
