In the present study, the operating conditions of an anode-supported high temperature direct internal reforming (DIR) planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) are numerically analyzed. SOFCs are the energy conversion devices that produce electricity and heat directly from a gaseous fuel by the electrochemical combination of that fuel with an oxidant. A planar SOFC consists of an interconnect structu...

in this paper, non parametric data envelopment analysis (dea) was subjected to the energy data of wheat producers in punjab state, india, and technical, pure technical and scale efficiencies were calculated for farms both category wise and zone wise. the main objective was to determine the strength of the correlation between non-parametric efficiencies and indices such as energy ratio and speci...

the efficiency of oil extraction from oil seeds is affected by seed harvesting time, drying methods, seed storage conditions and finally the means of seed transportation to the factory. to determine the grain moisture content at harvest  and its effect on seed while on drying trails, (employing different canola dryers), a study was conducted in mazandaran province in 2009. a factorial complete ...

in this article, a study is made to demonstrate the possible utilization of hydrological anergy resources, contained in small water streams and water falls. the total energy, which could be recovered without extensive investments, has been estimated. it is shown that, the energy produced shall meet the total energy requirements of the rural areas of the country. a hystorical background of the u...

an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of thyroid gland activity modulation (hyper or hypothyroidism) on energy utilization in broiler chickens. two hundred and forty one-day-old cobb broiler chicks were distributed into three dietary metabolizable energy (me) treatment groups (80 chicks each). the control group (e0) was fed basal diet (3150 kcal/kg diet), the second group (e1) w...

Using absorption refrigeration cycles instead of vapor compression refrigeration cycles can drastically decrease energy consumption. In these systems, high level of energy consumption is reduced due to the partially elimination of vapor compression refrigeration systems. On the other hand, utilization of waste heat of the plant, which is a very good opportunity for energy saving,  is possible. ...

this study was conducted to determine the nutritional value of seaweed gracilariopsis persica and to evaluate its utilization in layer nutrition. metabolizable energy and chemical composition of seaweed were measured. 100 hy-line w-36 hens were allocated to five dietary groups with five treatment group (experimental diets containing zero, five, 10, 15 and 20 percent seaweed) and it lasted for 1...

The increasing demand for storage, networking and computation has driven the escalation of large complex data centers, the massive server farms that run many of today’s Internet, financial, commercial and business applications. A data center can comprise many thousands of servers and can use as much energy as a small city. The massive amounts of computation power required to drive these server ...
