Alternatives to Ozone Depleting Refrigerants in Test Equipment

Madeleine R. Johnson AGMC/MAEL 813 Irving Wick Drive West Newark AFB, Ohio 43057-5149 This paper describes the initial results of a refrigerant retrofit project at the Aerospace Guidance and Metrology Center (AGMC) at Newark Air Force Base, Ohio. The objective is to convert selected types of test equipment to properly operate on hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) alternative refrigerants, having no ozone ...

Lignocellulosic biomass feedstock transportation alternatives, logistics, equipment configurations, and modeling

Lignocellulosic biomass feedstock transportation bridges biomass production, transformation, and conversion into a complete bioenergy system. Transportation and associated logistics account for a major portion of the total feedstock supply cost and energy consumption, and therefore improvements in transportation can substantially improve the cost-competitiveness of the bioenergy sector as a who...

Evaluating the Limitations of and Alternatives

In position-based routing protocols, each node periodically transmits a short hello message (called beacon) to announce its presence and position. Receiving nodes list all known neighbor nodes with their position in the neighbor table and remove entries after they have failed to receive a beacon for a certain time from the corresponding node. In highly dynamic networks, the information stored i...
