In hydraulic engineering, transcritical flows are often required in some applications. One example is in a Venturi channel where the occurrence of critical depth is used to estimate flow rate in the channel. In this paper, ...

Personal care products (PCPs) such as soaps, perfumes, toothpastes, lotions, etc. contain various chemicals. Triclosan (TCS) is widely used as an antibacterial additive in PCPs. Traces of TCS are found in human plasma and ...

Design of optimal operation and control of a run-of-river hydro power plant depends on good models for the elements of the plant. River reaches are often considered to be shallow channels with free surface flow. A typical ...

Some methods for transient closed loop step response system identification presented in the literature are reviewed. Interestingly some errors in a method published in the early 80’s where propagated into a recently published ...

Research for enhanced energy-efficient buildings has been given much recognition in the recent years owing to their high energy consumptions. Increasing energy needs can be precisely controlled by practicing advanced ...

Buildings are one of the largest energy consumers in the world which accounts for nearly 40% of the total global energy consumption. In the countries where cold climate conditions predominate, space heating is the key ...

Simplified linearized discrete time dynamic state space models are developed for a 3-phase well-pipeline-riser and tested together with a high fidelity dynamic model built in K-Spice and LedaFlow. In addition the Meglio ...

New developments in sensor technology and control actuators make it viable to monitor and regulate more process variables, providing an opportunity to apply advanced multivariable control techniques. Although modern control ...

In this research, a new model was developed and modified with a combined solar heating system which works with solar radiation and electricity. In order to model the system, the outdoor temperature of the location and solar ...
