In this paper, we describe a method of optimum temperature modulation of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) based gas sensor, operated in dynamic temperature measurement for identification of gas. The volatile organic compound (VOC) sample space consists of fourteen laboratory chemicals sampled at various concentration. We have used eleven number of gas sensors, manufactured by Figaro sensors, Jap...

We examine recent developments in the cluster cooling flow scenario following recent observations by Chandra and XMM-Newton. We show that the distribution of gas emissivity verses temperature determined by XMM-Newton gratings observations demonstrates that the central gas, i.e., where the cooling time is less than the age of the cluster, in cooling flow clusters cannot be in simple steady-state...

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how integrated resource planning (IRP) oriented to the gas sector can be applied both in new networks and in mature networks, and to present the advantages of its application. One case study is described, in the western central region of Portugal, to illustrate the results of a pilot project on natural gas IRP implementation in a new network in the Europe...

To evaluate the effect of turbulent heating in the thermal balance of interstellar clouds, we develop an extension of the log-Poisson intermittency model to supersonic turbulence. The model depends on a parameter, d, interpreted as the dimension of the most dissipative structures. By comparing the model with the probability distribution of the turbulent dissipation rate in a simulation of super...

the ability of artificial neural network (ann) for estimating the natural gas demand load for the next day and month of the populated cities has shown to be a real  concern. as the most applicable network, the ann with multi-layer back propagation perceptrons is used to approximate functions. throughout the current work, the daily effective temperature is determined, and then the weather data w...

This paper deals a universal prediction system based on AI techniques and classical statistical analysis. It describes principles and methodologies used within the system. Further it discusses internal structure of the system and general conditions for its successful use. Despite of system wide applicability, originally it was conceived as a system for prediction of gas consumption. A practical...

Temperature-dependent free radical reactions were investigated using nitroxyl radicals as redox probes. Reactions of two types of nitroxyl radicals, TEMPOL (4-hydroxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) and carbamoyl-PROXYL (3-carbamoyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethylpyrrolidine-N-oxyl), were tested in this paper. Heating a solution containing a nitroxyl radical and a reduced form of glutathione (GSH) c...

schnellere Rostgeschwindigkeit, eine kleinere Kühlluftmenge, einen geringeren Klinkerdurchsatz oder eine größere Partikelgröße vermieden werden. Abstract The moving grates, or travelling grates, are widely used in industries. For the purpose of product quality improvement (in quenching of clinker), energy consumption reduction (in pre-heating of limestone), emission control (in waste incinerati...

Future energy systems and thus the climate are affected by many factors, such as energy resources, energy demand, energy policy and the choice of energy technologies. Energy systems of the future are facing three main challenges; the steady growth of global energy demand, the energy resource depletion, as well as the increasing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and other greenhouse gases and t...

Passive and active solar heating systems have drawn much attention and are widely used in residence buildings in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau due to its high radiation intensity. In fact, there is still lack of quantitative evaluation of the passive and active heating effect, especially for residential building in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau areas. In this study, three kinds of heating strategie...
