Performance analysis of a small-scale Orthopter-type Vertical Axis Wind Turbine by ElCheikh, A.

“…Wind tunnel experiments were carried out to measure the torque of two-, three, and four-bladed turbine, each at a set of different wind speeds and blade aspect ratios. Increasing solidity was achieved by either decreasing the blade aspect ratio or increasing the number of blades, both resulting in a higher peak power coefficient (Cp,max) of the VAWT. …”

Dispersion of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Emissions from a Biofilter at an Electronic Manufacturing Facility by Azlah, Nada

“…When the removal efficiency drops due to a design or operational deficiency, odorous VOCs are released from the biofilter and this becomes evident by the increased odor complaints. Poor biofilter performance, geographical location of the facility, and meteorological conditions contribute to increased dispersion of VOCs. …”
