The authors compare the energy consumption and CO₂ emissions from vehicles using internal combustion engines (ICE), battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV), and two types of hybrid vehicles, BEV‐ICE hybrid and BEV‐FCEV hybrid. This paper considers several scenarios for four countries’ electricity production from primary energy sources to estimate total ...

We study the weighted -boundedness of the multidimensional weighted Hardy-type operators and with radial type weight , in the generalized complementary Morrey spaces defined by an almost increasing function . We prove a theorem which provides conditions, in terms of some integral inequalities imposed on and , for such a boundedness. These conditions are sufficient in the general case, but we ...

This paper studies the capacitive coupling in a capacitive power transfer (CPT) system designed for charging applications. It proposes mathematical models using the conformal transformation for calculating air-gapped and underwater capacitance and verifies the proposed models using COMSOL multiphysics and measurements. The measured results show that we can achieve nano-farad capacitance ranges ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) is the process in which objects are created through the layer-by-layer deposition of material that is controlled by a computer. The infill is the internal structure of the 3D printed model. It determines the strength, weight, cost, time, and overall quality of the part. Ranging from simple lines to more complex geometric shapes, infill patterns can affect a part's ...

In this paper we study the homogenization of a nonautonomous parabolic equation with a large random rapidly oscillating potential in the case of one-dimensional spatial variable. We show that if the potential is a statistically homogeneous rapidly oscillating function of both temporal and spatial variables, then, under proper mixing assumptions, the limit equation is deterministic, and convergence ...

The Fourth Industrial Revolution, namely Industry 4.0, has provided opportunities for digitalization and paradigm shifts in many industries and business sectors. Reverse logistics is currently being increasingly focused on by worldwide companies and governments due to the pressure on sustainable development and circular economy. Through the gradual but steady adoption of several disruptive ...

Solar photovoltaic (PV) power has several advantages such as free availability, absence of rotating parts, can be easily integrated with building architecture, and need little maintenance. However, the PV cell current–voltage (I–V) characteristics are non-linear and power generated from a PV array depends on solar insolation/irradiation and panel temperature. The extracted PV output power is ...

In this paper, we introduce a blending spline type construction into the isogeometric analysis. We consider a general algorithm for solving a number of boundary value problems, including heat equation, wave equation, linear elasticity, etc. The usage of blending spline construction in the isogeometric context mixes standard finite element and NURBS-based approaches while accumulating the benefits ...

This study presents an in-depth analysis of the cost structure when planning EE retrofit measures in the residential sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The analysis showed that implementing EE retrofit measures would result in substantial energy savings in single-family houses, however, the specific cost of implementing EE retrofit measures per resident for single-family houses is on average 2.8 ...

With globalization and rapid technological-economic development accelerating the market dynamics, consumers' demand is becoming more volatile and diverse. In this situation, capacity adjustment as an operational strategic decision plays a major role to ensure supply chain responsiveness while maintaining costs at a reasonable norm. This study contributes to the literature by developing computationally ...
