Treatment of waters colored with methylene blue dye by vacuum membrane distillation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
Textile industries consume large amounts of water and generate highly dye-contaminated effluents. Textile wastewaters have to be treated in order to be recycled in the process or to meet legislative requirements before ...
Neural network model-based predictive control of liquid–liquid extraction contactors
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2004 , Article)
The inherent complex nonlinear dynamic characteristics and time varying transients of the liquid–liquid extraction process draw the attention to the application of nonlinear control techniques. In this work, neural ...
Neural-Networks-Based Feedback Linearization versus Model Predictive Control of Continuous Alcoholic Fermentation Process
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2005 , Article)
In this work advanced nonlinear neural networks based control system design algorithms are adopted to control a mechanistic model for an ethanol fermentation process. The process model equations for such systems are highly ...
Adaptive and Predictive Control of Liquid-Liquid Extractors Using Neural-Based Instantaneous Linearization Technique
(
WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
, 2006 , Article)
Nonlinearity of the extraction process is addressed via the application of instantaneous linearization to control the extract and raffinate concentrations. Two feed-forward neural networks with delayed inputs and outputs ...
Modeling of mass transport of aqueous solutions of multi-solute organics through reverse osmosis membranes in case of solute–membrane affinity: Part 1. Model development and simulation
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2005 , Article)
A two-dimensional mathematical model is developed for transport of multi-solute liquid (aqueous) solutions through reverse osmosis membranes in which strong affinity may exist between the membrane polymer and the solutes. ...
Processing, characterization and modeling of recycled polypropylene/glass fibre/wood flour composites
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most common thermoplastic materials in the world. There is a need to recycle the large amount of this used material. To overcome the environmental problems, related to the polymer waste, ...
Effect of operational parameters on distillate flux in direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD): Comparison between experimental and model predicted performance
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Membrane distillation (MD) is a thermally driven process where hydrophobic membranes are used to separate saline hot feed solution and cold stream of water and allow water to evaporate due to temperature difference. This ...
Analysis of partial electrocoalescence by Level-Set and finite element methods
(
Institution of Chemical Engineers
, 2016 , Article)
The coalescence of a water drop in a dieletric oil phase at a water layer interface in the presence of an electric field is simulated by solving the Navier Stokes and charge conservation equations with the finite element ...
Modeling and Parametric Study of the Reanchorage of Ruptured Tendons in Bonded Posttensioned Concrete
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The contribution of ruptured tendons to the residual strength of bonded posttensioned concrete structures is currently assessed based on pretensioned concrete bond models. However, this approach is inaccurate due to the ...
Modeling spatiotemporal variations in leaf coloring date of three tree species across China
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Autumn phenology can regulate climate-biosphere interactions and net primary production within the ecosystem. However, studies modeling spatiotemporal variations in leaf coloring date (LCD) remain limited, especially for ...
