Variation characteristics of gas production, gas composition, VFA content and activity of coenzyme 1:42o in the simulated process were analyzed to discuss the influence of different substrates on lignite biogas generation. The results show that 0.1% methanol and 5 mg/L yeast extract solutions increase VFA contents in the biogas generation system (p 〈 0.05) and inhibit coenzyme F420 and methanogen activities significantly, so they decrease both gas amounts (p 〈 0.05) and CH4 contents (p 〈 0.05). 0.2 mol/L sodium acetate solution activates coenzyme F42o and methanogen activities and improves the efficiency of enzymatic reaction, so the gas quantity (p 〈 0.05) and the CH4 content (p 〈 0.01) increase significantly. Therefore, sodium acetate can be one kind of good exogenous substance for the generation of lignite biogenic gas.展开更多

A novel electro-hydraulic fully variable valve train for four-stroke automotive engines is introduced. The construction of the nonlinear mathematic model of the valve train system and its dynamic analysis are also presented. Experimental and simulation results show that the novel electro-hydraulic valve train can achieve fully variable valve timing and lift control. Consequently the engine performance on different loads and speeds will be significantly increased. The technology also permits the elimination of the traditional throttle valve in the gasoline engines and increases engine design flexibility.展开更多

To do so, it is necessary to use and expand natural renewable energy source such as solar energy and to promote energy conservation. However, in high-latitude regions, it is difficult to directly and effectively use solar power due to on insufficient amount of solar radiation. If steam can be generated from warm water at less than 373 K, it is possible to obtain steam by solar water heaters from weak solar radiation and industrial waste warm water without the consumption of any fossil fuels. In this study, the authors have been developing a system which generates steam over 423 K from warm water at less than 373 K using an adsorption heat pump with zeolite. Therefore, bench-scale equipment which generates steam continuously and the experimental results are mentioned.展开更多

However, the regulation law has not been clear enough to guide the experiment, which is unfavorable to the experimental research on organic Rankine cycle. In this paper the regulation law of turbine and generator by the load-resistance-regulation method is studied theoretically and experimentally. The results show that when the thermal cycle parameters keep constant, the turbine speed increases with the increase of load resistance and there is a maximum value of transmission-generator efficiency with the variation of the turbine speed; when the turbine speed and generator speed keep constant, the transmissiongenerator efficiency decreases and gradually tends to zero with the increase of load resistance.展开更多

An electric motor is used to excite pitching oscillations of the wing. Both the wing and the electric motor are supported by leaf springs which are designed to work both as a linear guide for the sway oscillations and as elastic elements. The wing mass in sway direction necessary to achieve a hydroelastic response is obtained by utilizing a mechanical snubber mechanism. The appropriate load to generate electricity is provided by magnetic dampers. In the previous paper, the generating power rate and the efficiency were examined through the experiments with a single wing model, and the feasibility of the flapping wing hydroelectric power generator was verified. In this paper, the influence of the neighboring wings is examined by using two experimental apparatuses, with the intention of achieving a practical cascade wing generator. Tests revealed that the cascade moving in-phase with the neighboring wings at narrower intervals has a higher rate of electric power generation.展开更多

Estimating the output power of a wind energy conversion unit (WEC) mainly bases on the incident wind speed at the unit site by using the power characteristic curve. In addition, several time-series models have been using in wind speed forecasting. These models are characterized with requiring a large set of data. In order to prevent from the wind speed measurement and the need of a precise wind turbine model, an novel method basing on neural network and the grey predictor model GM (1,1) is proposed. Though the method, the estimating model can be built only by using the experimental data, which are obtained from the WP system in laboratory. The effectiveness of the estimating model is confirmed by the simulation results.展开更多
