Replacing fossil flues by renewable and sustainable energies have been the concern of scientists working in this area over the recent decades. Furthermore, greenhouses play a key role in producing various crops year-round ...

This paper presents the designing, simulation, fabrication and control of a gripper actuated by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire. The presented gripper has the advantage of the small linear displacement of the slider connected ...

This research performs the advanced exergy and exergoeconomic analyses of a combined cycle power plant (CCPP) located in Zavareh, Iran. The objective of this research is to evaluate the irreversibilities, their related ...

In this paper, numerical solution of beta-type Stirling engine was presented considering its non-ideal regenerator. To this end, the second-order model including heat and power losses was used. Then, a numerical code was ...

This paper contains a theoretical formulation of multiple interface cracks in two bonded dissimilar half planes subjected to in-plane traction. The distributed dislocation technique is used to construct integral equations ...
