Increasing Operational and Fuel Efficiency for Multi-UAV Missions

AIAA Infotech@Aerospace (I@A) Conference, 2013
Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (mTSP) with n number of nodes to be visited by m identical UAVs can be solved by transforming into m Traveling Salesman Problems (TSP) and then solved with improved Genetic Algorithm (GA). Within our framework of spatiotemporal discretization and offline calculation, this is done with the objective of maximal fuel ...

INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF FUEL COMBUSTION IN AIR HEATERS OF BLAST FURNACES

Energy and automation, 2023
The issues of increasing the energy efficiency of blast-furnace blast heating by increasing the temperature under the cowper and reducing the specific consumption of natural gas by heating the combustion components and increasing the blast temperature are considered.

Does Higher Fuel Efficiency Increase Corrosion?

Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, 1958
In broad terms the object of every engineer operating oil burning plant has always been to obtain the maximum amount of effective B.Th.U.s for every pound of oil burned. Recently, however, it has been established that as the thermal efficiency of modern high pressure, high temperature oil burning plant has increased there has been a similar increase in

Increase in the Efficiency of Use of Furnace Residual Fuel Oil

Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils, 2003
Each year domestic industry refines more than 170 million tons of crude oil with an average degree of refining of 71%. Approximately 50 million tons of furnace residual fuel oil is produced. This residual fuel oil is used as boiler fuel, except for a small amount which is exported (8–10 million tons in 2001), including approximately 13% burned directly

Increasing furnace efficiencies by improving fuel combustion

Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils, 1982
The adjustment of process furnace operating conditions is carried out in three stages: the mechanical condition of the furnace is checked, deficiencies as noted are eliminated, and final operating indices of the furnaces are determined. This paper gives a description of shakedown and adjustment operations on process furnaces in an ELOU-AVT unit ...

Altering Flight Schedules for Increased Fuel Efficiency

2015
Abstract : Air Mobility Command (AMC) has made considerable improvements to reduce fuel consumption over the years, but failed to account for temperature effects in their efficiency equations. The purpose of this research was to analyze the effects of temperature on fuel consumption during different times of the day and months of the year.

Increasing the fuel utilization efficiency of RBMK-1000 reactors

Atomic Energy, 2007
The basic results of the measures taken to increase the fuel utilization efficiency of RBMK reactors and the promising directions for developing them are examined. The results of a staged increase of fuel enrichment and the introduction of a consumable absorber (erbium) into the fuel are presented.

When adding a fuel efficient car increases an automaker's CAFE penalty

Managerial and Decision Economics, 2004
AbstractWe derive the conditions that cause an automaker's Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) fine to increase when it sells an additional, fuel efficient car. Raising the CAFE standards would broaden the range of fuel economies that produce this effect. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
