The goal of this paper is to evaluate the supply of sugarcane to mills and also the supply of green harvesting residues to second-generation ethanol plants under three different strategies: chopping, baling and integral ...

Nowadays, the global energy crisis has encouraged the use of alternative sources like the energy available in the water currents of seas and rivers. The vertical axis water turbine (VAWT) is an interesting option to harness ...

In this contribution, unsteady three-dimensional numerical simulations of the water flow through a horizontal axis hydrokinetic turbine (HAHT) of the Garman type are performed. This study was conducted in order to estimate ...

The increased use of renewable energy resources for rural electrification has encouraged research and experimental projects decreasing designs uncertainties. This paper presents a deep and critical review of the design of ...

El presente trabajo propone una estrategia de cálculo aeromecánico de aerogeneradores de eje horizontal (HAWT) basada en la combinación de un módulo aerodinámico que proporciona la distribución de presiones tridimensional ...

In this paper the feasibility of energy saving by implementing flow regulation at constant load in feedwater pumps in a sugar industry is studied. As regulation strategy, the use of a variable ...

Este artículo presenta la evaluación aeromecánica de una pala (longitud, 50 m) de aerogeneradores de eje horizontal (HAWT). El módulo aerodinámico combina el enfoque de la teoría de la superficie de elevación no lineal ...

This study presents two-dimensional numerical simulations of the flow around a cross-flow vertical-axis water turbine (straight-bladed Darrieus type) using active flow control by means of synthetic jets. The performance ...
