Investigating the real time changes of functional groups during lignite pyrolysis can deepen understanding of reaction mechanism of lignite under oxygen-free condition, and help upgrading its quality and enhancing the conversion efficiency. In this study, non-isothermal low temperature pyrolysis of lignite using in-situ Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) was carried out to investigate the evolution of six most abundant functional groups in lignite. The evolution of these functional groups was divided into several stages with different mechanisms and kinetic characteristics. The decomposition of C-O associated with hydroxyls by hydrogen bonds (HBs) played an important role in the pyrolysis process below 400 degrees C. The activation energies for the pyrolysis of lignite at various stages were mostly lower than 70 kJ/mol, and demonstrated the important role of HBs in the low temperature pyrolysis. Additionally, the HBs were mainly related to the aromatic phenol, aromatic ether and phenoxy for C-O, and quinone and carboxyl for C=O. At higher temperature stage (above 300 degrees C), the oxygen contained functional groups, including carboxyl, carbonyl and especially ether, began to decompose, resulting in greater loss of coal materials. At the temperature up to 400 degrees C, the C-C bonds began to break apart, which caused the primary decomposition of aliphatic groups and the increasing intensity of aromatic C-H.

On-Line Application of SHEM by Particle Swarm Optimization to Grid-Connected, Three-Phase, Two-Level VSCs with Variable DC Link Voltage Guvengir, Umut; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2018-08-01) This paper is devoted to an otablen-line application of the selective harmonic elimination method (SHEM) to three-phase, two-level, grid-connected voltage source converters (VSCs) by particle swarm optimization (PSO). In such systems, active power can be controlled by the phase shift angle, and reactive power by the modulation index, against variations in the direct current (DC) link voltage. Some selected, low-odd-order harmonic components in the line-to-neutral output voltage waveforms are eliminated by c...
AN ALGEBRAIC APPROACH TO SUPERVISORY CONTROL INAN, K (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1992-01-01) Supervisory control problems are formulated in terms of a process model where the mechanism of control is expressed in terms of an algebraic operator with the plant and supervision processes as its arguments. The solution subspaces for supervisory processes restrict the observation and the control capability of supervision. The main result corresponds to decentralized marked supervision under partial observations, and specific cases are derived from this result in a unified, algebraic way. The result and it...
Optimization of Power Conversion Efficiency in Threshold Self-Compensated UHF Rectifiers With Charge Conservation Principle Gharehbaghi, Kaveh; KOÇER, FATİH; Külah, Haluk (2017-09-01) This paper presents a compact model for threshold self-compensated rectifiers that can be used to optimize circuit parameters early in the design phase instead of time-consuming transient simulations. A design procedure is presented for finding the optimum aspect ratio of transistors used in the converter and number of rectifying stages to achieve the maximum power conversion efficiency. In the presented analysis, the relation between the power conversion efficiency and the load current over the variation o...
Quantitative analysis of nonlinear dynamics of quantum light transmission in strongly coupled quantum dot-cavity systems Tugen, Alperen; Kocaman, Serdar (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01) We compared transmission spectra of coupled high-Q cavity with quantum dot (QD) systems in the strong coupling regime with Input-Output Formalism (IOF) and Incoherent Pumping Mechanism (IPM) based on Lindblad master equation approach. The peak transmission of Dipole Induced Transparency (DIT) together with its full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) are enquired for detailed analysis. Both methods exhibit the same vacuum Rabi splitting in on-resonant case, in contrast, the peak of DIT is estimated smaller between 50...
The investigation of the unseen interrelationship of grain size, ionic defects, device physics and performance of perovskite solar cells Ameri, Mohsen; Mohajerani, Ezeddin; Ghafarkani, Mashhood; Safari, Nasser; Alavi, S. Ali (2019-03-01) Controlling the phenomenological morphology effects on the performance of the perovskite solar cell (PSC) is a continuing concern due to its photo-physical complexity and the existing contrary reports. Distinguishing the effect of the formed electron and hole traps in the bulk and at surface/interfaces of the perovskite layer from their impact on the performance of the device can be beneficial in optimizing fabrication methods. Here, the transient AC and steady state DC measurements, and morphology characte...
