For a fuel system with a tangent cam or a constant-velocity cam, the peak injection pressure continues to rise as the injection duration increases, but overly high peak pressures induce mechanical loads and wear, limiting the maximum engine speed and injection quantity. To improve the...

This paper presents a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) super-structure model for the optimal design of distributed energy generation systems that satisfy the heating and power demand at the level of a small neighborhood. The objective is the optimal selection of the system components...

GDL (Gas diffusion layer) intrusion into gas feeding channels narrows the effective channel cross-sectional area and eventually results in performance degradation of PEFCs (polymer electrolyte fuel cells). Therefore, cross-sectional channel design of metallic bipolar plates should be optimized...
