Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are prohibitively expensive for use in civilian surveillance applications. This is in large part due to the manufactures need to recoup the costs of research and development. The more intelligence that is incorporated into unmanned vehicles, the more expensive it is to validate. At Cornell University an autopilot system for UAVs has been developed and ...

This paper addresses the internal heat integration to the pressure-swing distillation process used in the separation of binary azeotrope mixture. A general procedure is suggested and illustrated through the separation of an binary mixture, which forms pressure-sensitive minimum-boiling azeotropes. Comparisons are made between the conventional and the internally heat integration processes. It is...

DG development and integration in the liberalised market An extended methodology to support the integration of DG/RES into a liberalised market has been developed in the EC funded BUSMOD project. The methodology does not address technical aspects; it assures the transparent process to evaluate the economical worth of DG/RES. An important aspect is the access to data relevant to DG/RES productio...
