Design And Development Of Heterogenous Combustion Systems For Lean Burn Applications, Anthony Terracciano
Design And Development Of Heterogenous Combustion Systems For Lean Burn Applications, Anthony Terracciano
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Combustion with a high surface area continuous solid immersed within the flame, referred to as combustion in porous media, is an innovative approach to combustion as the solid within the flame acts as an internal regenerator distributing heat from the combustion byproducts to the upstream reactants. By including the solid structure, radiative energy extraction becomes viable, while the solid enables a vast extension of flammability limits compared to conventional flames, while offering dramatically reduced emissions of NOx and CO, and dramatically increased burning velocities. Efforts documented within are used for the development of a streamlined set of design principles, and …
Modeling And Fault Detection In Dc Side Of Photovoltaic Arrays, Mohd Akram
Modeling And Fault Detection In Dc Side Of Photovoltaic Arrays, Mohd Akram
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Fault detection in PV systems is a key factor in maintaining the integrity of any PV system. Faults in photovoltaic systems can cause irrevocable damages to the stability of the PV system and substantially decrease the power output generated from the array of PV modules. Among'st the various AC and DC faults in a PV system, the clearance of the AC side faults is achieved by conventional AC protection schemes,the DC side, however , there still exists certain faults which are difficult to detect and clear. This paper deals with the modeling, detection and classification of these types of DC …
