Dr. Marcus Ashford proposes an active on-board vapor recovery system to address issues with current vapor recovery systems. Current systems route vapors to absorbent canisters but provide no indication of vapor amounts. The vapors are also not consumed when the engine idles or accelerates. Dr. Ashford's system would simplify vapor consumption, reduce cold-start emissions, and could be included in new vehicles or retrofitted to existing ones. It would also be flexible for multiple fuel types to enable efficient engine operation.

Energy Storage and Solar: What Does, and Doesn’t, Lie on the Horizon
Solar energy continues to blaze a path forward for renewables, and installations are rapidly expanding around the globe – at both the grid and distributed scales. This represents a major shift in the way we generate and consume electricity every day, and the increased penetration of renewables is creating new challenges. Both photovoltaic and solar thermal benefit immensely from the addition of energy storage technologies – allowing renewables to be dispatchable, on-demand resources. Energy storage technology is rapidly advancing as the solution to challenges created by intermittency and distributed generation. This webinar will focus on the role of energy storage on the grid, and how storage is able to augment the solar industry.
Analyzing solar energy storage systems
This document analyzes different solar energy storage systems. It discusses electrical storage methods like pumped hydroelectric storage, compressed air energy storage, flywheels, batteries and capacitors. Thermal storage methods explored are sensible heat, latent heat and sorption. The document compares the systems based on cost, performance, process, impact, maturity and requirements. It recommends pumped hydroelectric storage, battery storage, latent heat storage and sensible heat storage as suitable for Sri Lanka. Specifically, it suggests upgrading existing hydro power plants to pumped hydro, using batteries for domestic PV systems, and sensible heat for domestic heating to effectively use solar power and reduce national grid usage.
Combined cycle power plant
A combined cycle power plant consists of one or more gas turbines that drive generators and exhaust into a boiler called a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) that generates steam for a Rankine cycle unit. Combined cycle power plants can achieve thermal efficiencies as high as 54% because they capture more of the heat from the gas turbine and use it in the Rankine cycle portion of the plant. They also take less time to construct than comparable Rankine cycle plants, though longer than simple gas turbine plants. A combined cycle plant essentially uses both a gas turbine and a steam turbine together to generate electricity more efficiently than using them independently.
IRJET- Improve the Efficiency of Combined Cycle Power Plant
This document discusses methods to improve the efficiency of combined cycle power plants. It begins with an introduction to combined cycle power plants, which improve efficiency by capturing waste heat from a gas turbine to power a steam turbine. Recent research has achieved total efficiencies of 50-60%. The document then discusses several proposed methods to further improve efficiency, such as increasing steam temperatures and pressures or implementing reheat. Calculations show these methods could increase the net efficiency of steam turbines by 22.1%, gas turbines by 12.9%, and the steam part of combined cycle plants by 4.2%. The conclusion states that improving efficiency is important as global energy demand grows to produce more electricity at lower cost.

Presenatation on fuel cell by karambir singh
Fuel cells are efficient power generators that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy with no moving parts. They have a variety of applications including off-grid power and mobile/static devices. Fuel cells work by using a catalyst to oxidize fuel like methanol and oxygen to produce electricity, water, and carbon dioxide. They require fuel, oxygen from air, and produce exhaust. Fuel cells automatically charge batteries when the voltage drops and turn off once charging is complete to provide reliable power and extend battery life. They can also power devices directly via an inverter or work in a hybrid system with other power sources like solar.
Incorporating renewable energy in electricity grids
An electric power system is a network that supplies, transfers, and uses electric power. It includes generators that produce electricity, a transmission network of high-voltage wires that transport power over long distances, and a distribution network that delivers electricity to consumers. Electricity supply and demand must be balanced at all times since electricity cannot be economically stored at large scales. Different generation technologies like fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables have varying operating characteristics that impact their predictability, flexibility and variability. While 100% renewable electricity systems may be technically feasible long-term, transitioning energy systems will face challenges around balancing supply and demand with variable renewable resources.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
