Proceedings of the 2nd Conference on Engine Processes


Book Description

As the combustion engine looks set to remain the dominant energy conversion unit in vehicle powertrains in the medium term, either in combination with electrical components or on its own, attention will need to be paid to continue improving its efficiency in the future. The high development depth of today's combustion engines means that it is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve significant efficiency improvements by simple means. On the search for these improvements, the focus has shifted to inner-engine processes, for instance charge cycles including the charging system, the mixture formation including injection, combustion and kinematic conversion of the energy within the fuel. Our 2nd conference 'Engine processes' aims to offer all developers a platform to discuss the latest technological developments in the field of inner-engine process control, and encourage new paths to be taken. We believe that the program for this conference is a sound foundation for this endeavour. Da der Verbrennungsmotor auch mittelfristig die dominierende Energiewandlungseinheit im Antriebsstrang von Kraftfahrzeugen sein wird, entweder im Verbund mit elektrischen Komponenten oder aber als alleiniger Antrieb, muss der Verbesserung von dessen Wirkungsgrad auch in Zukunft erhebliche Aufmerksamkeit zu Teil werden. Aufgrund der hohen Entwicklungstiefe, die heutige Verbrennungsmotoren aufweisen, wird es immer schwerer, deutliche Wirkungsgradverbesserungen auf einfachem Weg zu erreichen. Auf der Suche nach diesen Verbesserungen rücken die innermotorischen Prozesse immer mehr in den Fokus, hierzu zählen der Ladungswechsel inkl. Aufladesystem, die Gemischbildung inkl. Einspritzung, die Verbrennung sowie die kinematische Wandlung der im Kraftstoff gebundenen Energie. Unsere 2. Tagung „Motorische Prozesse“ soll nun allen Entwicklern als Austauschforum zu neuesten technologischen Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet der innermotorischen Prozessführung dienen und dazu anregen neue Wege zu beschreiten. Wir sind überzeugt, mit dem vorliegenden Tagungs-Programm hierzu einen sehr guten Beitrag leisten zu können.

Book Description

This book presents selected, peer-reviewed proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Material, Machines and Methods for Sustainable Development (MMMS2020), held in the city of Nha Trang, Vietnam, from 12 to 15 November, 2020. The purpose of the conference is to explore and ensure an understanding of the critical aspects contributing to sustainable development, especially materials, machines and methods. The contributions published in this book come from authors representing universities, research institutes and industrial companies, and reflect the results of a very broad spectrum of research, from micro- and nanoscale materials design and processing, to mechanical engineering technology in industry. Many of the contributions selected for these proceedings focus on materials modeling, eco-material processes and mechanical manufacturing.




Translation Engines: Techniques for Machine Translation


Book Description

Machine translation (MT) is the area of computer science and applied linguistics dealing with the translation of human languages such as English and German. MT on the Internet has become an important tool by providing fast, economical and useful translations. With globalisation and expanding trade, demand for translation is set to grow. Translation Engines covers theoretical and practical aspects of MT, both classic and new, including: - Character sets and formatting languages - Translation memory - Linguistic and computational foundations - Basic computational linguistic techniques - Transfer and interlingua MT - Evaluation Software accompanies the text, providing readers with hands on experience of the main algorithms.

Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Green Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development (GEESD2021)


Book Description

The need for green technologies and solutions which will deliver the energy requirements of both the developed and developing world to support sustainability and protect the environment worldwide has never been more urgent.This book contains the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Green Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development (GEESD2021) which, due to the COVID-19 pandemic around the world and with the strict travel restrictions in China, was held as a hybrid conference (both physically and online via Zoom) in Shanghai, China on 26 and 27 June 2021. It provided an opportunity to bring together an international community of leading scientists, researchers, engineers and academics, as well as industrial professionals, to exchange and share their experiences and research results in the energy, environment and sustainable development sector. In total, 80 participants were able to exchange knowledge and discuss the latest developments in the field. GEESD2021 attracted more than 250 submissions, 88 of which were accepted after an extensive period of peer review by more than 100 reviewers and members of the program committee. These are included here, grouped into 3 sections, with 28 papers on sustainable energy; 34 on ecology; and 26 papers covering environmental pollution and protection.Offering an overview of the most up-to-date findings and technologies in the field of sustainable energy and environmental protection, the book will be of interest to all those working in this field.
