2D PIV/PTV–3D uRANS RSM Investigation on the Combined Effect of Iron Filings Filtering Techniques in a Backward Facing Step Flow
(Springer, 2023-03)
The presence of suspended particles in liquid fluids is one of the main reasons for hydraulic system failure. Metallic impurities in particular increase the presence of toxic substances in wastewater; therefore, it is vital ...
Automatic Identification Algorithm of Equivalent Electrochemical Circuit Based on Electroscopic Impedance Data for a Lead Acid Battery
(MDPI, 2021-06-06)
Obtaining tools to analyze and predict the performance of batteries is a non-trivial challenge because it involves non-destructive evaluation procedures. At the research level, the development of sensors to allow cell-level ...
Numerical Modeling of Face Shield Protection against a Sneeze
(MDPI, 2021-07-05)
The protection provided by wearing masks has been a guideline worldwide to prevent the risk of COVID-19 infection. The current work presents an investigation that analyzes the effectiveness of face shields as personal ...
Temperature based maximum power point tracking for photovoltaic modules
(Nature, 2020-07-27)
In this article authors propose a temperature based Maximum Power Point Tracking algorithm (MPPT). Authors show that there is an optimal current vs maximum power curve that depends on photovoltaic (PV) module temperature. ...
A Battery Management System with EIS Monitoring of Life Expectancy for Lead–Acid Batteries
(MDPI, 2021-05-21)
Abstract
This work presents a battery management system for lead–acid batteries that integrates a battery-block (12 V) sensor that allows the online monitoring of a cell’s temperature, voltage, and impedance spectra. The ...
Electrochemical Impedance Spectrum Equivalent Circuit Parameter Identification Using a Deep Learning Technique
(MDPI, 2023-12-18)
Physical models are suitable for the development and optimization of materials and cell designs, whereas models based on experimental data and electrical equivalent circuits (EECs) are suitable for the development of ...
Novel control algorithm for MPPT with Boost converters in photovoltaic systems
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
The great advances in efficiency and performance of photovoltaic modules would not be very useful if they do not work close to their maximum power point (MPP). In this paper a novel Sliding Mode Control (SMC) based algorithm ...
Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control by Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient in Neurosurgical Practice
(MDPI, 2023-09-30)
This research continues the previous work “Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control in Neurosurgical Practice”. In that study, authors acquired an optimal control arm speed shape for neurological surgery which minimized ...
Microtab design and implementation on a 5MW wind turbine
(MDPI, 2017-05-24)
Microtabs (MT) consist of a small tab placed on the airfoil surface close to the trailing edge and perpendicular to the surface. A study to find the optimal position to improve airfoil aerodynamic performance is presented. ...
Power Control Optimization of an Underwater Piezoelectric Energy Harvester
(MDPI, 2018-03)
Over the past few years, it has been established that vibration energy harvesters with intentionally designed components can be used for frequency bandwidth enhancement under excitation for sufficiently high vibration ...
