    A Novel Energy and Communication Aware Scheduling on Green Cloud Computing

    Laila Almutairi1, Shabnam Mohamed Aslam2,*

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 2791-2811, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.040268

    Abstract The rapid growth of service-oriented and cloud computing has created large-scale data centres worldwide. Modern data centres’ operating costs mostly come from back-end cloud infrastructure and energy consumption. In cloud computing, extensive communication resources are required. Moreover, cloud applications require more bandwidth to transfer large amounts of data to satisfy end-user requirements. It is also essential that no communication source can cause congestion or bag loss owing to unnecessary switching buffers. This paper proposes a novel Energy and Communication (EC) aware scheduling (EC-scheduler) algorithm for green cloud computing, which optimizes data centre energy consumption and traffic load. The primary goal… More >

    Kaige Guo, Jin Zhou*, Xiaoming Zhang, Di Sun*, Zishuo Wang, Lixian Zhao

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 3677-3696, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.038660

    Abstract This paper discusses two urgent problems that need to be solved in fully automatic operation (FAO) for urban rail transit. The first is the analysis of safety in FAO, while another is the analysis of efficiency in FAO. Firstly, this paper establishes an operational safety evaluation index system from the perspective of operation for the unique or typical risk sources of the FAO system, and uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate the indicators, analyzes various factors that affect the safe operation of FAO, and provides safety management recommendations for FAO lines operation to maintain the FAO system specifically.… More >

    Different Deficit Irrigation Lower Limits and Irrigation Quotas Affect the Yield and Water Use Efficiency of Winter Wheat by Regulating Photosynthetic Characteristics

    Huiqin Li, Mingzhi Zhang*, Na Xiao, Haijian Yang

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.12, pp. 3211-3236, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.031003

    Abstract To determine suitable thresholds for deficit irrigation of winter wheat in the well-irrigated area of the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, we investigated the effects of different deficit irrigation lower limits and quotas on the photosynthetic characteristics and grain yield of winter wheat. Four irrigation lower limits were set for initiating irrigation (i.e., light drought (LD, 50%, 55%, 60% and 50% of field holding capacity (FC) at the seedling-regreening, jointing, heading and filling-ripening stages, respectively), medium drought (MD, 40%, 50%, 55% and 45% of FC at the same stages, respectively), adequate moisture (CK1, 60%, 65%, 70% and 60% of FC at the same… More >

    A Novel Non-Isolated Cubic DC-DC Converter with High Voltage Gain for Renewable Energy Power Generation System

    Qin Yao, Yida Zeng*, Qingui Jia

    Energy Engineering, Vol.121, No.1, pp. 221-241, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.041028

    Abstract In recent years, switched inductor (SL) technology, switched capacitor (SC) technology, and switched inductor-capacitor (SL-SC) technology have been widely applied to optimize and improve DC-DC boost converters, which can effectively enhance voltage gain and reduce device stress. To address the issue of low output voltage in current renewable energy power generation systems, this study proposes a novel non-isolated cubic high-gain DC-DC converter based on the traditional quadratic DC-DC boost converter by incorporating a SC and a SL-SC unit. Firstly, the proposed converter’s details are elaborated, including its topology structure, operating mode, voltage gain, device stress, and power loss. Subsequently, a… More >

    Abstract This paper presents an experimental thermal efficiency analysis for a novel flat plate solar air heater with several mass flow rates. The aims are to review of designed and analyzed a thermal efficiency of flat-plate solar air heaters. The measured parameters were the inlet and outlet temperatures, the absorbing plate temperatures, the ambient temperature, and the solar radiation. Further, the measurements were performed at different values of mass flow rate of air in flow channel duct. After the analysis of the results, the optimal value of efficiency is higher level of mass flow rate equal to 0.0202 kg/s in flow… More >

    COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY INSIDE CATALYTIC HONEYCOMB MONOLITH CHANNEL OF NATURAL GAS BURNER START-UP AND LOW CARBON ENERGY OF CATALYTIC COMBUSTION

    Shihong Zhang*,Zhihua Wang

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.4, No.2, pp. 1-6, 2013, DOI:10.5098/hmt.v4.2.3005

    Abstract This article discussed exhaust gas temperature and pollutant emissions characteristics of the combustion of rich natural gas-air mixtures in Pd metal based honeycomb monoliths burner during the period of start-up process. The burner needs to be ignited by gas phase combustion with the excessive air coefficient (a) at 1.3. The chemistry at work in the monoliths was then investigated using the stagnation point flow reactor or SPFR. The experimental results in catalytic monolith can be explained from SPFR. The exhaust gas temperature and pollutant emissions were measured by thermocouple K of diameter 0.5 and the analyser every 1 minute, respectively.… More >

    Yongchun Liu1,*, Ni Qiao2, Yanli Yang3, Yanchun Li1, Chunxiao He1, Siyang Wang1, Chengcheng Liu1, Ruixia Lei1, Wang Li4, Wenwen Gao4

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.2, pp. 383-400, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.041928

    Abstract A silylated melamine sponge (SMS) was prepared by two simple steps, namely, immersion and dehydration of a melamine sponge coated with methyltrichlorosilane. The silylated structure of SMS was characterized by FT-IR (Fourier-transform infrared) spectroscopy, SEM (Scanning electron microscopy) and in terms of water contact angles. Its oil-water absorption and separation capacities were measured by FT-IR and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The experimental results have shown that oligomeric silanol covalently bonds by Si−N onto the surface of melamine sponge skeletons. SMS has shown superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle exceeding 150° ± 1°, a better separation efficiency with regard to diesel oil (by 99.31% (wt/wt%)… More >

    Numerical Analysis of the Influence of the Impinging Distance on the Scouring Efficiency of Submerged Jets

    Hao Chen1,2, Xianbin Teng2,*, Zhibin Zhang2, Faxin Zhu1, Jie Wang1, Zhaohao Zhang2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.20, No.2, pp. 429-445, 2024, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.030585

    Abstract Water jet technology is widely used in submerged buried pipes as a non-traditional trenching process, often involving a complex sediment response. An important adjustable and influential engineering variable in this technology is represented by the impinging distance. In this study, the FLOW-3D software was used to simulate the jet scouring of sand beds in a submerged environment. In particular, four sets of experimental conditions were considered to discern the relationship between the maximum scour depth and mass and the impinging distance. As shown by the results, a critical impinging distance exists by which the static scour depth can be maximized;… More > Graphic Abstract

    An Experimental Investigation of Aero-Foil-Shaped Pin Fin Arrays

    Mainak Bhaumik1, Anirban Sur2,*, Kavita Dhanawade3

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.21, pp. 467-486, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2023.044605

    Abstract Pin fins are widely used in applications where effective heat transfer is crucial. Their compact design, high surface area, and efficient heat transfer characteristics make them a practical choice for many thermal management applications. But for a high heat transfer rate and lightweight application, aerofoil shape pin fins are a good option. This work focuses on an experimental model analysis of pin-fins with aerofoil shapes. The results were evaluated between perforation, no perforation, inline, and staggered fin configurations. Aluminum is used to make the pin fins array. The experiment is carried out inside a wind tunnel, and the heat supply… More >
