Effects of Camber of S‐Series Airfoils on Aerodynamic Performance, Entropy Generation Rate, Irreversibility, and Second Law Efficiency of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Due to the depletion of fossil fuels, enhancing wind turbine efficiency is crucial. Utilizing airfoils with high lift‐to‐drag ratios significantly improves power generation by optimizing aerodynamic parameters. Furthermore, entropy generation analysis serves as an effective method for design optimization by minimizing energy losses and exergy ...

Evaluation for Learning in Primary Health Care Organizations: Aspirations, Realities and Lessons From Australia

New Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines tensions between the accountability and learning functions of evaluation through a case study of an evaluation capacity building (ECB) initiative undertaken in an Australian primary health care setting. We describe the ECB approach and strategies and identify enablers and barriers influencing their implementation and ...

Learning as Compost: Reorienting Evaluation in an Era of Authoritarian Drift

New Directions for Evaluation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We synthesize insights from seven cases to interrogate a central assumption of the learning function of evaluation: Learning can be strengthened through better design, integration, or alignment with accountability systems. Taking the issue's conceptual framework seriously, the essay reflects what the cases reveal about the nature of learning ...
