Optimal Design and Operation of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Systems for Small-scale Stationary Applications
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2002)The advent of maturing fuel cell technologies presents an opportunity to achieve significant improvements in energy conversion efficiencies at many scales; thereby, simultaneously extending our finite resources and ... -
Optimization of Cryosurgical Probes for Cancer Treatment
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2004)We take for granted the abundance and variety of food that is available to us all year round. Grocery stores around the U.S and the world sell a wide variety of fruits and vegetables throughout the year no matter when ... -
Optimization of Direct-Contact-Spray-Coolers
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2002) -
Optimized Combination of a Cooling Pond and Cooling Tower System for Condenser Cooling at a Steam Cycle Power Plant
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1995)The performance of the condenser cooling cycle of a steam cycle power plant is examined for the Columbia Generating Station of the Wisconsin Power & Light Company located near Portage, Wisconsin. The Columbia station ... -
Optimum Selection of Direct-Coupled Photovoltaic Pumping System in Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1997)The performance of photovoltaic powered pumps in direct and indirect solar domestic hot water (PV-SDHW) systems has been studied. The direct PV-SDHW system employs a photovoltaic array, a DC-motor, a centrifugal pump, ... -

Parameter Estimation and Optimal Supervisory Control of Chilled Water Plants
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1998)The objective of the work is to develop methods for minimizing the energy costs of chilled water systems through optimal control. The general approach includes the following tasks: 1) proposing a system of parametric ... -
Parameter Estimation and the Use of Catalog Data with TRNSYS
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1997)Due to assumptions, idealizations, and detailed specifications often required by existing TRNSYS components, difficulties are encountered in modeling the performance of cataloged components within TRNSYS transient thermal ... -
Performance of Rotary Enthalpy Exchangers
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1994)Rotary regenerative heat and mass exchangers allow energy savings in the heating and cooling of ventilated buildings by recovering energy from the exhaust air and transferring it to the supply air stream. In this study ... -
Performance Optimization of Industrial Refrigeration Systems
(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2000)Industrial refrigeration systems can be found in applications ranging from ice making to food processing and preservation to industrial chemical processes. These systems typically consist of many different components, ...
