Deep Learning-based Image Analysis Method for Estimation of Macroscopic Spray Parameters

Fran Huzjan et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a method for spray macroscopic parameter estimation that achieves state-of-the-art results. Image segmentation is performed to separate the spray from the rest of the image, and then the macroscopic parameters are estimated from the segmented image. The evaluation of the proposed method shows that Min U-Net achieves a mean dice coefficient of 0.95 with an inference time of 11.94 ms/image, and the estimation of spray macroscopic parameters is highly accurate.

Sustainable development of energy, water and environmental systems in the changing world

Hrvoje Mikulc et al.

Summary: In the past few years, global pandemic and geopolitical events have had a significant impact on various aspects of our lives, emphasizing the importance of resilient and self-sufficient systems. These events have added another layer of complexity to the world, which is already grappling with issues such as overpopulation, limited resources, environmental conservation, and climate change. The objective of this work is to examine how the sustainable development of energy, water, and environmental systems can contribute to achieving resilient systems. By drawing on the recent advances presented at the SDEWES Conference series, the study highlights the progress made in each area. It concludes that sustainable solutions should initially focus on fostering national self-sufficiency goals to restore global unity.

Numerical investigation of multiphase reactive processes using flamelet generated manifold approach and extended coherent flame combustion model

Filip Juric et al.

Summary: The study compares and validates the flamelet generated manifold (FGM) and Three-zones extended coherent flame model (ECFM-3Z) for multiphase reactive processes inside compression ignition engines. Both models show differences in predicting ignition delay and combustion processes for single and multiple injection strategies, and demonstrate good predictive capabilities on nitric oxide emission trends.
