Distillation is responsible for a significant amount of the energy consumption of the world’s process industry and also in the natural gas processing. There is a significant energy saving potential that can be obtained by applying new energy saving distillation technology that has appeared in the last two decades. The fully thermally coupled dividing wall columns have the attractive feature of ...

Unlike DSP compilation for high performance, research for low power optimisation has received little attention, although power dissipation is a critical issue for mobile devices. This paper presents an overview of power consumption models and power saving techniques for embedded DSP processors applications and evaluates their application to the Texas Instruments TMS320VC5510 Digital Signal Proc...

Liquidity constraints are an almost ubiquitous assumption in development economics. Yet the direct evidence for liquidity constraints is limited, and many observations consistent with liquidity constraints are equally compatible with precautionary saving or a lack of forward planning. Using household panel data and a source of widely anticipated income in South Africa, this paper tests and reje...

In this paper, on the basis of Green Comprehensive Plan at Hakim Sabzevari University of Sabzevar, Iran, the application of active solar  systems for the dining hall is evaluated. The impact of solar systems and energy management designed for this hall on energy consumption and environment was investigated.This study measures the electricity and thermal energy consumption of the dining hall , p...
