EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF A WAVE ENERGY CONVERTER USING A UNIDIRECTIONAL CASCADED GEAR SYSTEM IN A SHORT-WAVE PERIOD

Experimental Study of a Wave Energy Converter Using a Unidirectional Cascaded Gear System in a Short-Wave Period

A wave energy converter (WEC) based on a direct mechanical drive system (DMDS) exhibits limited performance when the sea state stands for a short period.This study aims to increase the Beach towels efficiency of a WEC-DMDS mechanical system applied under short-wave conditions.A novel WEC is designed by applying cascaded gear and reducing the flywhe

Enzymatic hydrolysis of defatted soy flour by three different proteases and their effect on the functional properties of resulting protein hydrolysates

Commercial defatted Hockey Accessories - Officials soy flour (DSF) was dispersed in distilled water at pH 7 to prepare 5% aqueous dispersion.Soy protein hydrolysates (SPH) were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the DSF using three different proteases (Flavourzyme 1000 L, No-vozym FM 2.0 L and Alcalase 2.4 L FG).The highest degree of hydrolysis (D
