Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Contributors from the wide range of disciplines and professions that touch upon alternative energy present about 175 papers on renewable energy, the environment, and heat transfer; modeling and simulation; materials properties, research, and processing; characterizing composite materials; engines and alternative fuels; electrical energy systems and devices; and measurement and testing. Among specific topics are evaluating the performance of a photovoltaic system in humid atmosphere, analyzing a wind turbine aerodynamic braking system using chord wise spacing, the effect of swirl on the performance of an annular diffuser, mitigating wear in cast magnesium alloy through friction-stir surface compositing reinforced with fly ash, and the influence of engine speed on mixing and emission characteristics of multiple-injection common rail direct injection diesel engine.
