To mitigate global warming and fossil fuel shortages a novel oxy-fuel combustion power plant integrated with a power to gas system is proposed. A net-zero emission MATIANT cycle with inherent CO2 capture ability is selected as the power cycle also providing the CO2 and power demand of the power to gas system, which comprises a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer for hydrogen production and a Sabatier reactor for methanation. A techno-economic investigation, a multi-objective optimization, and a sensitivity analysis are carried out. A comprehensive economic method that covers all economic aspects is utilized, and a Sabatier reactor model which considers the possibility of the presence of... 

Minimum cost of energy is the main goal of a wind farm layout optimization. This is achieved by maximizing the total energy while minimizing the total costs of the farm. In this study, two sizes of commercial turbines were considered to investigate the effect of a non-homogenous farm on the layout optimization process. A cost model consisting of turbines, cable, transformers, foundation, and service vehicle routes was developed. Using Genetic Algorithm and Artificial Neural Network, first the superiority of the new algorithm in turbines and cable layout was verified versus previous studies. Next, two cases were investigated, i.e. (1) a farm populated with identical turbines and (2) a farm... 

The corrosion inhibition of glycine-based dithiocarbamates with benzyl (BDTC) and propyl (PDTC) groups were investigated for cold rolled carbon steel (CRS) in 0.5 M HCl, indicating that the compounds as mixed type inhibitors significantly reduced the corrosion rate of the CRS due to the formation of a stable protective film on the metal surface. As confirmed by ATR-FTIR, SEM, AFM, XPS and theoretical studies, chemically adsorbed BDTC molecule is a better corrosion inhibitor with higher corrosion efficiency of about 98% at room temperature and a better thermal stability attributed to the Fe-S and Fe-N bindings, and in addition, to the presence of the benzene ring in the molecular structure. ©... 

Synthesis and characterization of metal dithiocarbamate complexes of N 1 ,N 3 -dicinnamylpropane-1,3-diamine, N 1 ,N 4 -dicinnamylbutane-1,4-diamine and N 1 ,N 6 -dicinnamylhexane-1,6-diamine are reported. The ligands are prepared using cinnamaldehyde and primary diamines to provide the corresponding diimines, followed by reduction with NaBH 4 to afford the corresponding secondary diamines. Diamines react with carbon disulfide in basic medium to furnish the corresponding bis(dithiocarbamate) salts, which underwent complexation with metals. The prepared complexes were characterized by IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, TGA and elemental analyses. Although the dinuclear metal dithiocarbamate macrocyclic...
