Silane and silazane surface modification of recycled glass fibers for polypropylene composites
This study investigates the efficiency of multifunctional silane and silazane agents for surface modification of recycled glass fibers. Overall, the amino‐silane reagents improve the dispersion of GFs in PP, and permit subsequent reaction with MAPP leading to better compatibilization, with moderate improvements in strength attributed to the ...

Improved energy production of multi-rotor wind farms [PDF]
The multi-rotor (MR) wind turbine concept can be used to upscale wind turbines without increasing the rotor diameter, which can be beneficial for transport, manufacture and design of wind turbines blades. The rotor interaction of a MR wind turbine leads to a faster wake recovery compared to an equivalent single-rotor (SR) wind turbine wake.

Digital Twin Framework for Time to Failure Forecasting of Wind Turbine Gearbox: A Concept [PDF]
Wind turbine is a complex machine with its rotating and non-rotating equipment being sensitive to faults. Due to increased wear and tear, the maintenance aspect of a wind turbine is of critical importance. Unexpected failure of wind turbine components can lead to increased O\&M costs which ultimately reduces effective power capture of a wind farm ...

Mathematical Toolbox and its application in the Development of Laboratory Scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine [PDF]
A wind turbine works with the principle of extracting energy from the wind to generate electricity. The power generated is directly proportional to the wind speed available. There are two major types of wind turbine design namely the horizontal and vertical axis wind turbine depending on the orientation of the turbine rotor and its generator.

Multirotor wind turbine wakes [PDF]
To fulfill the increasing need for large power generation by wind turbines, the concept of multirotor wind turbines has recently received attention as a promising alternative to conventional massive single-rotor wind turbines. To shed light on the viability of this concept, large-eddy simulation is employed in this study to compare wake flow properties
