Joint optimal threshold-based relaying and ML detection in cooperative networks
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Article)
This paper proposes two detection schemes for cooperative networks comprising a source, a relay and a destination. The relay is assumed to operate in a half-duplex mode and it employs decode-and-forward (DF) relaying. The ...
Characteristics-based model predictive control of selective catalytic reduction in diesel-powered vehicles
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
In heavy-duty diesel exhaust systems, selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is used to reduce NOx to nitrogen to meet environmental regulations. Diesel exhaust after-treatment involves a set of components that are best ...
Optimal utilization of geothermal heat from abandoned oil wells for power generation
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Unlike other types of renewable energy, geothermal resources represent a stable energy source because they can be exploited regardless of meteorological conditions. In geothermal systems, heat is exchanged between the ...
A mathematical model for carbon fixation and nutrient removal by an algal photobioreactor
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
A comprehensive mathematical modeling method for Chlorella vulgaris (Cv) has been developed to assess the influence of nutrient concentration (total nitrogen TN= 28-207 and total phosphorus TP= 6-8mgL 1) and irradiation ...
Real-time cooperative data routing and scheduling in software defined vehicular networks
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Links in vehicular networks are highly dynamic and generally exist only for a limited amount of time. Moreover, data packets are generally transmitted over multiple hops and have diverse latency requirements. The above ...
Koh-based modified solvay process for removing na ions from high salinity reject brine at high temperatures
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
The traditional Solvay process and other modifications that are based on different types of alkaline material and waste promise to be effective in the reduction of reject brine salinity and the capture of CO2 . These ...
Magnesium recovery from desalination reject brine as pretreatment for membraneless electrolysis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2022 , Article)
Alkali-earth metals pose a significant challenge to water treatment technologies and electrochemical processes due to their propensity to precipitate as metal hydroxides, which can deposit on membranes and/or electrodes ...
CFD and statistical approach to optimize the average air velocity and air volume fraction in an inert-particles spouted-bed reactor (IPSBR) system
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
Inert-particles spouted bed reactor (IPSBR) is characterized by intense mixing generated by the circular motion of the inert particles. The operating parameters play an important role in the performance of the IPSBR system, ...
Chromium removal from tannery wastewater by electrocoagulation: Optimization and sludge characterization
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The treatment of tannery effluent is of great interest as it contains a complexmixture ofpollutants, primarily chromium. The disposal of this wastewater can have adverse effects on the environment and aquatic life, which ...
Adsorption of 4-Nitrophenol onto Iron Oxide Bentonite Nanocomposite: Process Optimization, Kinetics, Isotherms and Mechanism
(
Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH
, 2022 , Article)
Despite its importance in chemical industry, 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) is a persistent organic pollutant that has serious effects on the ecosystem. In the present study, Box–Behnken design in response surface methodology was ...
