Simulation with a Torque Dynamometer of Pollutants Emission from Vehicles Near Urban Cross-Road
2002
Nowadays, the influence of the vehicular traffic on the degradation of urban atmosphere is focused on by researchers belonging to different fields in view of its prime importance for public health. The control of exhaust gases emission is primary in order to keep air pollution below the specified limits of the laws in force. In previous works the “medium car” characterises a country in modelling a pollutant in urban areas. This is the central parameter of a forecasting model proposed by Pignato and LoMastro, of pollutant concentration near urban cross-road with traffic lights in continue queue and platoon flow. The proofs have been carried on two classes of displacement vehicles and four cl…
Evaluation of the wave energy density on the Sicilian coast
2016
In this article the wave energy density of the northern Sicilian coasts is evaluated and is used to evaluate the producibility of a wave nergy converter to be installed in an area in the north west part of Sicily. In particular, the objective of the study is the evaluation of a potential installation in an area between Trapani and Palermo, which are the largest cities in the north west part of Sicily. In particular in this research, the wave energy density of Sicily has been analyzed by using an analysis of wave data carried out in a 10-year period, using the measurements of buoyant of National Wave measuring System (RON - Rete Ondametrica Nazionale). The analysis shows that the north-weste…
