Storage Solutions for Power Quality Problems in Cyprus Electricity Distribution Network by Poullikkas, Andreas

“…Also, as more storage units are installed the better the performance indicator and the more attractive is the investment in storage units to solve power quality problems in the distribution network. In the case where the technical requirements in voltage limitations according to distribution regulations are satisfied with one storage unit, the installation of an additional storage unit will only increase the final cost. …”

Effect of lubricant rheology on friction in coated elastohydrodynamic lubricated contacts by Habchi, W.

“…The former is known to decrease friction while the latter increases it compared to uncoated contacts. The original expectation was that the lubricant with higher P–T dependence of viscosity would exhibit higher relative friction deviation from the uncoated case. …”

Mixed Convection from A Cylinder with Low Conductivity Baffles in Cross-Flow by A/K Abu-Hijleh, Bassam

“…When using a small number of baffles at low values of buoyancy parameter, an odd number of baffles reduced the Nusselt number more than an even number of baffles, especially at high values of Reynolds number. This is not the case at high values of buoyancy parameter. There is an optimal baffle height, Reynolds number dependent, for maximum heat transfer reduction beyond which an increase in baffle height does not result in further decrease in heat transfer.…”

Optimizing dynamics of water-energy-food nexus in a desert climate by Sa'd Shannak (17191363)

“…For example, as an extreme case, if the agriculture electricity price is raised from $0.048 per kWh to the US industrial electricity price level of $0.692 per kWh, the model optimizes that this will reduce electricity consumption from 33.65 gWh to 7.84 gWh, domestic crop cultivation from 15.1 million tons to 6.3 million tons, and crops' export from 0.062 million tons to 0.057 million tons while will increase crops’ import from 9.5 million tons to 18.3 million tons.…”
