The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of injection parameters on a heavy duty diesel engine performance and emission characteristics. In order to analyze the injection and spray characteristics of diesel fuel with employing high-pressure common-rail injection system, the injection characteristics such as injection delay, injection duration, injection rate, number of nozzle hole...

Combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) units can be integrated with conventional separate cooling, heat, and power production units to meet demands. The goal of this study is to develop and examine a hybrid GA-heuristic optimization algorithm for solving the unit commitment problem for integrated CCHP-thermal-heat only system with considerations for electricity boiler. When environmental emis...

The entanglement between a ?-type three-level atom and its spontaneous emission fields is investigated. The effect of spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) on entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed. We find that in the presence of SGC the entanglement between the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is completely phase dependent, while in absen...

The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...

one of the methods to reduce the emissions in a diesel engine is by oxygen introduction into the combustion chamber which can be done by supplying the oxygen into the inlet manifold during suction stroke. oxygen affects different parameters such as brake thermal efficiency, fuel consumption, nox and smoke at different load conditions. load test was conducted for various concentrations of oxygen...

conclusion the technical performance of pet scan is significantly higher than similar technologies for staging and treatment of nsclc. in addition, it might slightly improve the treatment process and lead to a small level of increase in the quality adjusted life year (qaly) gained by these patients making it cost-effective for the treatment of nsclc. results the total annual running cost of a p...

the comparison of growth processes and fluorescent properties of cdznte semiconductor quantum dots that are synthesized in different concentrations of zn2+ in water are discussed in this paper. the samples are characterized through absorbtion (uv) and photoluminescence spectra (pl). the results show that when the reaction time is prolonged, the absorption peak and fluorescent emission peak pres...
