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 ...
Modeling, simulation and control of a scheibel liquid–liquid contactor: Part 1. Dynamic analysis and system identification
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2004 , Article)
The liquid–liquid extraction process is well-known for its complexity and often entails intensive modeling and computational efforts to simulate its dynamic behaviour. However, rigorous mathematical models are usually ...
End-to-end outage probability of multihop transmission over lognormal shadowed channels
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals
, 2003 , Article)
End-to-end outage probability evaluation of multihop wireless communication systems over lognormal shadowed channels is presented. Closed-form expression for the end-to-end signal to noise ratio of systems equipped with ...
Long-term electric peak load forecasting for power system planning: A comparative study
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
, 2004 , Article)
A comparative study between two static estimation algorithms, namely least error squares (LES) and least absolute value (LAV) algorithm was presented. The proposed algorithm used the past history data for the load and the ...
A resolver converter based upon a novel open-Loop Technique
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
The paper presents a novel technique for the determination of the angle from slowly-varying quadrature co-sinusoidal signals produced, for example, by position sensors. In the presented scheme applied to a resolver, the ...
Wireless transmission with cooperation on demand for slow and fast fading environments
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Conference Paper)
Mobile users with single antennas can still take advantage of spatial diversity through repetition based cooperative transmission. In this paper, we consider a scheme in which the relay chooses to cooperate only if the ...
A Discontinuous PWM Method for Balancing the Neutral Point Voltage in Three-Level Inverter-Fed Variable Frequency Drives
(
IEEE
, 2008 , Article)
The paper describes a new discontinuous carrier-based pulsewidth modulation (PWM) method for use in variable frequency drives (VFD) driven by three-level inverters. The method introduces three different switching patterns ...
Power system frequency estimation based on simulated annealing. Part I: A constant frequency study
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
, 2003 , Article)
In this paper a new algorithm based on Simulated Annealing (SA) method is used to estimate the signal parameters of a system steady power system, having a constant frequency during data window size. The proposed algorithm ...
A novel algorithm for molecular synthesis using enhanced property operators
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
Traditionally process design and molecular design have been treated as two separate problems, with little or no feedback between the two approaches. Introduction of the property integration framework has allowed for ...
