A long term domestic wastewater treatment experiment was conducted using a recirculating ceramic ultra filtration membrane bioreactor (CUFMB) system. Three experiments were run with a hydraulic retention time of 5 h, sludge retention times of 5 d, 15 d, and 30 d and a membrane surface flow rate of 4...

With proper power scheduling and dynamic pricing, a unidirectional charger can provide benefits and regulation services to the electricity grid, at a level approaching that of bidirectional charging. Power scheduling and schedule flexibility of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles are addressed. The...

In this paper, the case of a battery charger for electric vehicles based on a wireless power transmission is addressed. The specificity of every stage of the overall system is presented. Based on calculated and measured results, relevant capacitive compensations of the transformer and models are sug...

The paper deals with wireless battery chargers (WBCs) for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and analyzes two arrangements for the receiver of a series-series resonant WBC. The first arrangement charges the PEV battery in a straightforward manner through a diode rectifier. The second arrangement charg...

The objective of the integrated approach is to minimize the cost and duration of the development of the final flow sheet by optimal allocation of the resources to various steps of the development. In the integrated approach, the development of a solvent extraction (SX) flow sheet is done in the foll...
