Fossil fuel power plants are one of the major sources of electricity generation, although invariably release greenhouse gases. Due to international treaties and countries regulations, CO2emissions reduction is increasingly ...

The determination of the composition of mixed micellar systems is a major problem since only the composition ofthe total micellar solution is accessible to the experimenter. A new approach is introduced in the present work ...

Charge amplifiers represent the standard solution to amplify signals from capacitive detectors in high energy physics experiments. In a typical front-end, the noise due to the charge amplifier, and particularly from its ...

This paper focuses on the mathematical modeling and optimization of Multi-Effect Evaporation plants (MEE). A simplified and detailed enough model to accurately predict the MEE system performance is presented. The model is ...

Optimal power plant designs are achieved by means of a proposed multiperiod non-linear programming formulation that utilizes the net present value as objective function, while construction, operation and dismantling of the ...

The role of optimism and socioeconomic characteristics of managers on leadership practices in small enterprises, in Bogotá, Colombia, was determined. Ninety managers completed the Leadership Practices Inventory and The ...

In this dissertation, a novel methodology based on process superstructures for the synthesis and optimization of multiple-effect evaporation systems is described. The methodology allows for the structure and heat transfer ...

Robotic manipulators are increasingly present in current industrial activities. They are used in tasks such as: painting, drilling and welding operations, material handling, etc. Although these robots are widely used, their ...
