  • 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.

Energy Crop Agriculture -- Notes from the Field.

Posted by Sohail Azad On 10:04

Pigweed Control: An issue that continues to plague farmers here in Florida and the Southeast is glyphosate resistant weeds, specifically Palmer Amaranth. A technical service representative for Syngenta, suggest farmers apply a fall weed control treatment now in order to get a head start for next year’s crop. We've had decent control using Dual MagnumDownload AudioDry Weather: With little rainfall in recent weeks, meteorologists from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) reported...

Phosphate Mining and Climate Change

Posted by Sohail Azad On 05:56

While today's blog treads into the subject of phosphate mining in central Florida, the bigger picture involves all surface mining (e.g., mountain top removal for coal), and an even bigger picture of large land use development anywhere on our Planet. The following discussion is neither pro or anti mining or land development, but raises a question "Don't we need to talk about something?" -- where the "Something" is Climate Change.In arguments (and legal fights) over mining or land development, the...
