Meta-heuristic algorithms in car engine design: a literature survey [PDF]
Meta-heuristic algorithms are often inspired by natural phenomena, including the evolution of species in Darwinian natural selection theory, ant behaviors in biology, flock behaviors of some birds, and annealing in metallurgy.

A rural agricultural-sustainable energy community model and its application to Felton Valley, Australia [PDF]
Energy and food security require a delicate balance which should not threaten or undermine community prosperity. Where it is proposed to derive energy from conventional fossil fuel resources (such as coal, shale oil, natural gas, coal seam gas) located ...

Advanced exergy analysis of a R744 booster refrigeration system with parallel compression [PDF]
In this paper, the advanced exergy analysis was applied to a R744 booster refrigeration system with parallel compression taking into account the design external temperatures of 25 C and 35 C, as well as the operating conditions of a conventional European

MaimAir: A flexible and modular energy storage system for tomorrow energy banks [PDF]
We considered a novel energy storage system based on the compression of air through pumped water. Differently from CAES on trial, the proposed indirect compression leaves the opportunity to choose the kind of compression from adiabatic to isothermal. The

Ecosystem exploitation, sustainability and biodiversity: Are they compatible? [PDF]
This articles offers a basis for describing sustainability and then seeks to place this concept on an energetic basis by reference to recent advances in the understanding of patterns and processes in (mainly pelagic) fresh waters.
