Space‐Dependent Sobolev Gradients as a Regularization for Inverse Radiative Transfer Problems

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Diffuse optical tomography problems rely on the solution of an optimization problem for which the dimension of the parameter space is usually large. Thus, gradient‐type optimizers are likely to be used, such as the Broyden‐Fletcher‐Goldfarb‐Shanno (BFGS) algorithm, along with the adjoint‐state method to compute the cost function gradient.

Optimizing gasification in downdraft fixed-bed gasifier through experimental and kinetic modeling

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
Gasification is an effective way of converting biomass into electricity. However, determining optimal conditions to reach higher temperature gradients and ensure thermal stability of the reactors for syngas production is challenging.

Advancing small-scale biomass gasification (10–200 kW) for energy access: Syngas purification, system modeling and the role of artificial intelligence-A review

Energy Conversion and Management: X
Agro-industrial and food industries produce significant lignocellulosic bio-waste, which has a negative impact on the environment if poorly managed. Gasification provides a solution by converting this waste into energy.

Improving optical efficiency of linear Fresnel collectors in the Sahel via position and length adjustment

Solar Compass
Linear Fresnel concentrators are promising technologies for solar thermal applications, but their performance is often hindered by end losses and inefficiencies related to receiver design and placement. This study aimed to enhance LFC optical performance

Evaluating the suitability of six hydrophobic natural eutectic solvents as the internal phase in a cosmetic cream formulation

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Hydrophobic natural eutectic solvents can function as structural oil phase substitutes in creams prepared by low‐energy processes, enabling sustainable, regulation‐compliant formulations with desirable sensory profiles. Abstract Objective This work evaluates whether hydrophobic natural eutectic solvents can replace the conventional oil phase in ...

Consistency of performance indicators and simulation results in solar water heating studies: A comparison of RETScreen, TSOL and TRNSYS

Results in Engineering
Solar water heating simulations are widely used for feasibility assessment, system design, and optimisation. However, the reproducibility of such simulations and the consistency of reported performance indicators have received limited attention.
