Shallow and deep learning models for vessel motions forecasting during adverse weather conditions
Accurately forecasting vessel motions is a critical step towards achieving fast and accurate intelligent vessel control systems. Intelligent vessel control relies on accurate predictions of vessel motion to make informed decisions regarding control, maneuvering, and positioning, particularly during times of…

Isobaric expansion engines–compressors: Thermodynamic analysis of multistage vapor driven compressors
Isobaric expansion (IE) engines can directly convert heat into mechanical energy, making them particularly attractive for applications such as vapor-driven pumps and compressors. A recent initial assessment investigating the utilization of IE engines as vapor-driven reciprocating compressors has revealed that…

Thermodynamic evaluation of a combined SOFC-PEMFC cycle system
A model of a combined cycle system consisting of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) operating on methane is described in this paper. While generating power, the SOFC also produces hydrogen that…
