This paper is concentrated on the pretreatment of the model validation. We use the validation scenarios and standard sequences generated by well-established SDG model to validate the trends fitted from the simulation model. The results are helpful to find potential problems, assess possible bugs in the simulation model and solve the problem effectively. A case study on a simulation model of boiler is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.展开更多

The system concludes gasification scrubbing system the opposed multi-burner gasifier （OMB） methanol production and purification shift system. The distributions of ammonia con- centration in streams were obtained. The study demonstrates that ammonium crystallization problem caused by ammonia ac- cumulation, and if the process has ammonia exports its concentration will greatly reduced and the ammonia salt problem will effectively alleviate. Aspen plus simulation is a useful tool strengthening the ammonia recycling use and reducing pollutant for improving water quality, maintaining stable production, emissions.展开更多

However, huge mounts of approximations and assumptions lead the theoretical analysis away from the engineering practice. The experimental methods are time-consuming and financial expensive, even unrealizable due to the lack of suitable sensors. Numerical simulations can bridge the gap between the theoretical analysis and experimental techniques. A complete overall dynamic model of maglev levitation system is derived in this work, which includes the simple-supported bridges, the calculation of electromagnetic force with more details, the stress of levitation modules and the cabin. Based on the aforementioned model, it shows that the inherent nonlinearity, inner coupling, misalignments between the sensors and actuators, and self-excited vibration are the main issues that should be considered during the design process of controller. Then, the backstepping controller based on the mathematical model of the module with reasonable simplifications is proposed, and the stability proofs are listed. To show the advantage of controller, two numerical simulation experiments are carried out. Finally, the results illustrating closed-loop performance are provided.展开更多

In this model, the effects of crowd-density, spread efficiency and the moving of individuals on the spreading of viruses are researched. The theoretical analysis and analog simulation shows that there exist a critical value, only when the product of spread efficiency and crowd density goes beyond the critical value, can viruses spread in crowd continuously and steadily. Besides, the moving of individuals can promote the spreading of viruses. These results are helpful guiding people to defense and control virus＇ spreading process.展开更多
