Optimal Connection of Heat Pump and Solar Buffer Storage under Different Boundary Conditions

Germination and viability coefficients of Faba Bean (Vicia faba) seed under different storage conditions

Extended Abstract Introduction: Pulses are among the best sources of plant protein and important components of crop rotation, which in recent years, have been considered one of the major options for plant research. Seed storage is one of the important traits in legume breeding. Storage temperature, seed moisture content, and storage duration are the most important factors affecting seed qualit...

Molten Salt Thermal Energy Storage in Thermoclines under Different Environmental Boundary Conditions

Optimal Sobolev and Hardy-Rellich constants under Navier boundary conditions

We prove that the best constant for the critical embedding of higher order Sobolev spaces does not depend on all the traces. The proof uses a comparison principle due to Talenti [19] and an extension argument which enables us to extend radial functions from the ball to the whole space with no increase of the Dirichlet norm. Similar arguments may also be used to prove the very same result for Ha...

Numerical Investigation of Roofing Materials Effect on Solar Heat Gain in Different External Conditions

In this study, the thermal performance of three kinds of roofs with different heat capacity and thermal conductivity under different external conditions has been investigated using a numerical method. For this purpose, the combined solar radiation, conduction and convection heat transfer were calculated implicitly in terms of a one-dimensional finite difference method. Different high and low so...

Optimal Time to Invest Energy Storage System under Uncertainty Conditions

This paper proposes a model to determine the optimal investment time for energy storage systems (ESSs) in a price arbitrage trade application under conditions of uncertainty over future profits. The adoption of ESSs can generate profits from price arbitrage trade, which are uncertain because the future marginal prices of electricity will change depending on supply and demand. In addition, since...
