An Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) system is used to heat recovery and consequently, supplying the cooling demand. The first and second laws of thermodynamics are used to energy and exergy analysis of the system. Some thermodynamic parameters which affect the system performance including combustion temperature, gasifier temperature, compressor isentropic efficiency, gas turbine isentropic efficiency, compressor pressure ratio, and ORC pressure are parametrically analysed and their contribution in improving the efficiency and economy of the system is investigated. To the sustainable performance of the combined system, we need an evolutionary algorithm to identify the optimum values of thermodynamic parameters that have an impact on system performance. Hence, the Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm is used to find the best values of decision variables. The most striking result to emerge from the optimisation.optimisation is that implementing the MOPSO algorithm improves the exergy efficiency by 5.17% and reduces the total cost of the system by 1.9%.KEYWORDS: Gasifierbiomass energyOrganic Rankine cycleMOPSO algorithmexergoeconomic analysis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe datasets generated during and/or analysed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Additional informationNotes on contributorsEhsan AzishEhsan Azish is a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Energy Conversion at Dezful Azad University.Ehsanolah AssarehEhsanolah Assareh Assistant Professor (PhD) at YU University (South Korea) and IAUD University (Iran), specializing in Renewable Energy.Behzad AzizimehrBehzad Azizimehr is a PhD student in Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Energy Conversion, and he works as an engineer and supervisor for Solar Energy Systems at Gamma Energy Company.Moonyong LeeMoonyong Lee is a Professor in the School of Chemical Engineering at Yeungnam University, specializing in Process optimization.","PeriodicalId":8584,"journal":{"name":"Australian Journal of Mechanical Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136098392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For cold rolling mills with intermediate roll shifting control, the uneven stiffness induced by the shifting process can cause the strip to tilt in the mill, which can affect the accuracy of strip flatness detection. In this study, the strip tilt is defined, and a finite element model of the S6-high mill is constructed using ABAQUS software to study the strip’s deflection and flattening behaviour during the rolling process and the effect of different rolling process parameters on the strip tilt. The specific spatial position of the rolls during the rolling process is also examined, and the main structure of the mill is identified as the primary cause of strip tilt. This research provides a theoretical basis for the strip’s absolute position change in the rolling process, which can enhance the measurement accuracy of flatness detection roll in the future.KEYWORDS: Tilting of stripfinite element analysisroll deflection Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe authors confirm that the data and material supporting the findings of this work are available within the article.Additional informationNotes on contributorsTieheng YuanTieheng Yuan, Male, 1997-, Doctoral candidates, University of Science and Technology Beijing.

Their fusion welding is a difficult process, but the friction stir welding (FSW) offers a potential solution to these issues. In this study, a thermal analysis is carried out to obtain the temperature distribution and residual stresses related to FSW of different Mg-Al-Zn series Mg alloys under different processing conditions. The highest temperature recorded at the centre of the weld was 544.04°C, while the average von Mises stress during welding was 185.07 MPa. These values were achieved with a tool rotational speed of 1000 rpm, welding speed of 40 mm/min, and a tool shoulder diameter of 21 mm. The temperatures obtained through the numerical model were validated by comparing them with experimental data. During the experimental analysis, small cracks were observed at the centre of the welded joint, resulting from the formation of MgO. The welded joint exhibited a maximum tensile strength of 234.86 MPa, which is approximately 90% of the stronger AZ31 Mg alloy.KEYWORDS: Dissimilar magnesium alloystemperatureresidual stressesmicrostructuretensile strengthfriction stir weldingthermal analysis AcknowledgementsAuthors would like to acknowledge the research assistantship provided by UGC New Delhi, India, and MNNIT Allahabad, Prayagraj, U.P., India (under TEQIP-III scheme).Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationNotes on contributorsUmesh Kumar SinghUmesh Kumar Singh earned his M.Tech. and Ph.D. from Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology Allahabad, Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), India.

Meanwhile, driver-in-the-loop (DiL) simulation allows researchers to develop and test different vehicles and correlated systems without the need to build physical prototypes. Considering the increasing goal of reducing cost, project time, and most importantly the impact on the environment, the advantages of DiL simulation become even higher. In this scenario and given the growing need for analysis of considerably large sets of data obtained especially by the use of simulators, the present work undertakes a literature review regarding the use of artificial intelligence in driver-in-the-loop simulations. To do so, some keywords are defined as some boundary conditions also are, e.g. how old the paper is aiming not to consider outdated tools and technologies. Passing through three eliminatory revision steps, the full text of the final selected works is read with the aim to define where the research that uses IA and DiL simulation is aimed. The findings suggest that most of the works use the aforementioned tools to develop autonomous vehicles and their correlated systems. Finally, a discussion about this result is proposed and then a guideline for amplifying the reach of the present literature review is suggested.KEYWORDS: Artificial intelligencedriver-in-the-loop simulatorliterature reviewvehicle dynamicsvirtual simulation AcknowledgementsThis study was financed in part by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – Brasil (CAPES) – Finance Code 001.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe authors confirm that the data supporting the findings of this study are available within the article or its supplementary materials.Additional informationFundingThe work was supported by the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior [001].Notes on contributorsCádmo Augusto Rodrigues DiasCádmo Augusto Rodrigues Dias received the M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2021 and B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering (minored in Mechatronics) from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas), Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil, in 2020, and currently is PhD student in PUC Minas, working at the SIM Center Laboratory.

It is a time-consuming process to analyse and evaluate the performance of the system through experiments, and it is difficult to analyse the effects of various factors through limited experimental data. An efficient numerical method is significant for the preliminary design and optimisation of inerting products. In this paper, a generic mathematical model of the hollow-fibre-membrane module (HFMM) was established and the accuracy of the numerical results was verified using experimental data. Based on this mathematical model, a simulation model of the aircraft fuel tank inerting system was developed through cosimulation of AMESim and Matlab/Simulink. The accuracy and applicability of the simulation model for this inerting system were verified using experimental test data. Using this simulation model, the effect of nitrogen-enrich air (NEA) flow rate and aircraft flight altitude on the performance of the inerting system were investigated. The results show that increasing the NEA flow rate contributes to a shorter time for the oxygen concentration to reach a steady state while with a higher stabilised value. The use of a high NEA flow mode is effective in improving the inerting performance during the rapid descent stage.KEYWORDS: Hollow-fibre-membraneair separationfuel inertingefficient numerical methodexperimental study Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Author contributionsMethodology: Yi Tu.
