this paper presents a simplifiedlagrangian multiplier based algorithm to solve the fixed head hydrothermalscheduling problem. in fixed head hydrothermal scheduling problem, waterdischarge rate is modeled as quadratic function of hydropower generation andfuel cost is modeled as quadratic function of thermal power generation. thepower output of each hydro unit varies with the rate of water discha...

In this study, the overall performance of air PV/T, based on energy and exergy analysis has been investigated. Two combinations of air PV/T, which consist of unglazed and glazed air PV/T, are considered. Thermal analysis and numerical calculations were carried out, and the performance parameters of the system for the climate conditions of Kerman were studied. The results are presented in graphs...

Temperature issues have become a first-order concern for modern computing systems. There are several approaches for dynamic thermal management, including reacting based on some threshold temperature, predicting based on history, or estimating localized temperatures based on performance counters. One possibility for more proactive management is to predict temperatures based on the upcoming instr...

The paper describes an in house made experimental set-up that measures the thermal conductivity of liquids. The measurement principle is based on the Transient Hot Wire Method. The theoretical bases of the measurement method are firstly presented, and then our original experimental implementation is described. The hardware as well as the software design reveals the simple configuration of the m...

General purpose mobile processors present two new design challenges. The first is the need to achieve the best performance while fitting into limited thermal environment and the second is maximizing the battery life of the entire system. The Intel® Pentium® M processor has been developed specifically to target the mobile market and therefore, much emphasis was given to advanced mobile features ...

A simple semi-phenomenological model, which accurately predicts the dependence of thresholdcurrent for temperature of Resonant-phonon three well quantum cascade laser based on verticaltransitions is offered. We found that, the longitude optical phonon scattering of thermally excitedelectrons is the most important limiting factor for thermal performance of high frequency THz QCLs.In low frequenc...

statistical methods, and especially machine learning, have been increasingly used in nanofluid modeling. this paper presents some of the interesting and applicable methods for thermal conductivity prediction and compares them with each other according to results and errors that are defined. the thermal conductivity of nanofluids increases with the volume fraction and temperature. machine learni...
