The activation energies of dehydration and combustion of organic materials in a clay sample, and of dehydration of natural and acid-activated montmorillonite have been determined using a rising temperature programme ...

This paper presents torque ripple minimization of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) by using a fuzzy controller, The nonlinear model of the SRM and the mathematical model of the converter circuit are driven. The motor used ...

Electric power generation and conditioning have experienced revolutionary development over the past two decades. Furthermore, new materials such as high energy magnets and high temperature superconductors are either available ...

A new approach to superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES) for solar power satellite (SPS) with inherent rigidity is introduced in this paper. The rigidity of this SMES originating from the electromagnetic forces ...

The authors investigate the open-loop gyrator behavior of a class of DC-DC converters that are characterized by double bridges. If the switching frequency of the double bridge converter is high enough with respect to its ...

The bang-bang controlled capacitor coupled converter (C³) is described in this paper. Due to the converter's inherent commutating property, the C³ can accommodate thyristors as well as high-power gate ...

This paper presents torque ripple reduction of a switched reluctance motor (SRM) by using a fuzzy speed controller. For this purpose, current control is applied with a fuzzy speed controller. The fuzzy controller adjusts ...

The prosperity of a firm depends highly on the functional integration of its various departments, and in particular the cooperation between the production and the marketing departments appears to have a large impact on the ...

Due date setting is a difficult task for make-to-order companies and requires efficient capacity and lead time management. In the job-shop literature, production planning for make-to-order companies is tackled by using ...
