The effects of a magnetic field on the heat conductivity of the paramagnetic O2 and O2-Ar gas mixtures of different compositions have been studied by using the hot-wire method. The magnetic field has been applied perpendicular to the temperature gradient so that the fractional change (Δλ⊥λ)...

We report on detailed results for the dielectric constant ϵ and the electric conductivity σ near the consolute point in the binary liquid mixtures benzonitrile-isooctane, nitroethane-cyclohexane and nitrobenzene-isooctane. The temperature dependence of the amplitude of the observed...

This paper presents a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell model suitable for water management analysis. In order to be integrated into a complete fuel cell vehicle simulation for real-time control and energy management designs, Energetic Macroscopic Representation is used. An experimental...

In most of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods described currently in the literature, the optimal operation point of the photovoltaic (PV) systems is estimated by linear approximations. However these approximations can lead to less than optimal operating conditions and hence reduce...

This paper presents a novel FLC MPPT (fuzzy logic sensorless maximum power point tracking) method for WECS (wind energy conversion systems). The proposed method greatly reduces the speed variation range of the wind generator which leads to the downsizing the PWM (pulse width modulation)...
