Performance Analysis of a Flexi-Fuel Turbine-Combined Free-Piston Engine Generator by Boru Jia, Andrew Smallbone, Rikard Mikalsen, K.V. Shivaprasad, Sumit Roy, Anthony Paul Roskilly

“…Very minimal difference on the in-cylinder pressure and the compressor pressure is observed, while the peak pressure in the bounce chamber is reduced. When coupled with a linear electric generator, the system efficiency can be improved to nearly 50% by optimising engine load and the number of the linear generators adopted in the TCFPEG system. …”

Separability analysis of wetlands in Canada using multi-source SAR data by Meisam Amani, Bahram Salehi, Sahel Mahdavi, Brian Brisco

“…In terms of scattering mechanisms, it was observed that the volume component was generally the most useful element to discriminate wetland classes compared to the two other components (i.e., single- and double-bounce). This study comprehensively discusses the efficiency of various SAR features/decomposition methods for wetland studies and the results are expected to help with creating sustainable policies and management for wetland protection and monitoring using remote sensing methods.…”
