In this paper, a new high efficiency, high step-up, non-isolated, interleaved DC-DC converter for renewable energy applications is presented. In the suggested topology, two modified step-up KY converters are interleaved to obtain a high conversion ratio without the use of coupled inductors. In comparison with the conventional interleaved DC-DC converters such as boost, buck-boost, SEPIC, ZETA a...

A novel atmospheric methanol measurement technique, employing selective gas-phase catalytic conversion of methanol to formaldehyde followed by detection of the formaldehyde product, has been developed and tested. The effects of temperature, gas flow rate, gas composition, reactor-bed length, and reactor-bed composition on the methanol conversion efficiency of a molybdenum-rich, ironmolybdate ca...

To control the exhaust emissions from two stroke spark ignition engine, copper nano-particles coated on wire mesh at the junction of improved design as catalytic converter, AVL-422 gas analyzer was used for measurement and comparision for CO and unburnt hydrocarbon in the exhaust of the engine at various speeds and loads. In the present work, an improved design is proposed which is more suitabl...

Harmful pollutants (CO, NO, and unburnt hydrocarbons) coming out from the exhaust manifold of an engine must be converted into harmless gases by using catalytic converter. This field has seen vast research for increasing conversion efficiency different cheap metals. Nowadays, catalysts used in converter are noble metals, they also critical sense that not abundant on Earth. Platinum, palladium r...

in this article our objective is to obtain steady state characteristics of shunt, series, and separately excited dc motors coupled with a centrifugal water pump supplied through a step-up, step-down, and cuk converter from photovoltaic generator. we assume that there are no storage batteries and, of course, the system must operate on maximum utilization i.e. maximum water must be pumped. it is ...
