This study focuses on Digital Twin-integrated smart energy systems, which serve as an example of Next-Generation Critical Infrastructures (CI). The resilience these systems is influenced by a variety internal features and external interactions, all are subject to change following cyber-physical disturbances. necessitates real-time monitoring for CI during crises; however, significant gap remains in monitoring. To address this gap, leverages the role Internet Things (IoT) complex enhance...

The engine fuel control system plays a crucial role in performance and economy. Fuel control, traditional systems, is carried out by means of sensor-based methods, which correct the flow rate through correlations or scheduled parameters order to reduce error between measured parameter its desired value. In presence component degradation, however, relationship measurable may lead an increase error. this research, linear models for advanced systems direct components degradation are proposed,...

Abstract In this study, aluminum-based wastes are used as energy carriers for on-demand hydrogen production through sustainable, eco-friendly, and cost-effective controlled electrochemical corrosion in aqueous solution. The process is very effective because it (i) uses waste metals to produce hydrogen, (ii) corroborates circular economy, (iii) produces high purity (iv) based on simple hydrolysis reaction of relevant solutions, (v) electricity not required recovers part the chemical Gibbs...
