An efficient procedure is presented for the evaluation of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode microstructure triple phase boundary length (TPBL). Triple phase boundary- the one that is common between three phases of the microstructure- has a great influence on the overall efficiency of SOFC because all electrochemical reactions of anode take place in its vicinity. Therefore, evaluation of TP...

although there are many potential benefits associated with the use of virtual product development teams, exploiting these benefits requires an appropriate management. managing virtual product development team is a critical issue as many of these teams fail to accomplish their goals. review of previous literature shows that body of knowledge in managing virtual product development teams is fragm...

The simulation of nonlinear components is central to virtual analog simulation. In audio effects, circuit elements often include devices such as diodes and transistors, mostly operating in the strongly regime. Mathematical models are form systems ordinary differential equations (ODEs), traditional integrators, trapezoid midpoint methods, can be employed solvers. These methods fully implicit, re...

Background and Objectives: Virtual inertia control, as a component of a virtual synchronous generator, is used for the implementation of synchronous generator behaviour in microgrids. In microgrids that include high-capacity distributed generation resources, in addition to virtual inertia, virtual damping can also lead to improvement of frequency stability of the microgrid. The purpose of the c...
