Study of the La 1.65Nd 0.2Ce 0.15CuO 4±δ system: Redox reaction via CaH 2 and oxygen
Mohamed Ikbal Houchati, Nassira Chniba-Boudjada and Ahmed Hichem Hamzaoui
Energies Book Series – Vol. 24-01
Abstract: The study outlines the process of mixing La 1.65Nd 0.2Ce 0.15CuO 4 with CaH 2 at 200 °C, resulting in the formation of a new phase termed La 1.65Nd 0.2Ce 0.15CuO 3.5, referred to as “pseudo-S”. This phase adopts a monoclinic crystal structure with the space group A2/m, characterized by specific cell parameters: a = 8.6189(6) Å; b = 3.8446(5) Å; c = 13.0114(9) Å; β = 109.690(2) °. The successful utilization of electropositive metal hydrides, such as CaH 2, as reducing agents is demonstrated in this process. Upon oxidation of the obtained phase in an oxygen atmosphere above 400 °C, it transforms into the intermediate phase T’-La 1.65Nd 0.2Ce 0.15CuO 4 […]
Possible ways to improve the efficiency of the Rosch innovation perpetual motion machine
Torchigin V.P.
Energies Book Series – Vol. 24-01
Abstract: We present our understanding of the physical phenomena on which the Roche Innovation perpetual motion machine is based. It is shown that the excess energy required to operate the machine is nuclear, arising from oxygen in air bubbles. At the same time, such a machine is useless, since its power is very expensive. Ways to increase the efficiency of the Rosch Innovative perpetual motion machine are discussed. Alternative installations based on the same principles are presented. […]

Sami Ullah and Majid Ali
Energies Book Series – Vol. 22-01
Abstract: The brick masonry structures are mostly used in the construction industry for building up to two stories in the world. The unreinforced brick masonry structures performed not well during past earthquakes, which causes economical and human life losses. Confined brick masonry structures are proposed as reinforced brick masonry structures, which are now mostly used in developing countries. The seismic performance of the confined brick masonry structure is very important to withstand the structure while hit by the strong ground motion of earthquakes to reduce the economic losses as well as losses to human lives […]

Non-controllable thermal behavior of these batteries may lead to the deterioration of their performance and may also cause a thermal runaway. In this study […]
Description of Colombian Electricity Pricing Derivatives
S. Prabakaran
Energies Book Series – Vol. 21-01
Abstract: Electricity markets are becoming a popular field of research amongst academics because of the lack of appropriate models for describing electricity price behavior and pricing derivatives instruments. Models for price dynamics must consider seasonality and spiky behavior of jumps which seem hard to model by standard jump process. Without good models for electricity price dynamics, it is difficult to think about good models for futures, forward, swaps, and option pricing […]
