  • Optimizing Performance and Fuel Economy of a Dual-Clutch Transmission Powertrain with Model-Based Design.
  • Wind Turbine DesignPrimary objective in wind turbine design is to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency, or power extracted from the wind. But this objective should be met by well satisfying mechanical strength criteria and economical aspects. In this video we will see impact of number of blades, blade shape, blade length and tower height on wind turbine design.
  • Modelling Complex Mechanical Structures with SimMechanicsModeling physical components or systems in Simulink® typically involves a tradeoff between simulation speed and model fidelity or complexity: the higher the fidelity of the model, the greater the effort needed to create it..
  • Biomass Energy Vs. Natural GasIn 2009, natural gas prices plunged to below $4 per MMBtu where many "Experts" are saying that prices will remain low for decades as a result of technology break-throughs allowing for sizable increases in natural gas supply for North America. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) just released data projections reflecting this potential increased supply in natural gas.

The Environmental Nightmare of Wind Energy & Energy Efficiency!

Posted by Sohail Azad On 02:30

Today's blog is a follow-up of our last post on the "message of fear" that continues in the media over biomass energy (e.g., the Huffington Post article -- Green Nightmare: Burning Biomass is Not Renewable Energy). To refresh everyone's memory -- the author of this article states that the development of biomass energy will lead to the destruction of forests world-wide.The dishonesty of these types of arguments is that no approach to energy production...

The Radical Greens -- Eco-Terrorism through the Media.

Posted by Sohail Azad On 19:28

Two stories on biomass energy caught our attention this week where "misinformation of fear" continues to be presented in the media:Huffington Post: Green Nightmare: Burning Biomass is Not Renewable EnergyNew York Times Op/Ed: Clear-Cutting the Truth About Trees.The purpose of these articles is to advance a "message of fear" -- that adopting policies of biomass energy will lead to the mass destruction of forests throughout the world as clear cutting...

Why Biomass Energy is Important (Part 2) -- CO2 Emissions from Coal Use in Generating Electricity

Posted by Sohail Azad On 03:35

The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has an excellent technical paper explaining why CO2 emissions associated with coal-fired generation are significantly higher than the use of natural gas.EPRI's comparison basis is called the "carbon intensity" ratio and reflects:The higher carbon content of coal versus natural gas and oil, and The lower energy efficiency of existing coal power plants versus generation technologies that use natural gas...
