Based on a hydraulic analysis and a simulation of water distribution networks, a macroscopic model for a network under a local pipe failure was established by the statistical regression. After the operation objectives under a local pipe failure were determined, the optimal operation model was developed and solved by the genetic algorithm. The program was developed and examined by a city distribution network. The optimal operation alternative shows that the electricity cost is saved approximately 11%, the income of the water corporation is increased approximately 5%, and the pressure in the water distribution network is distributed evenly to ensure the network safe operation. Therefore, the proposed method for optimal operation under local pipe failure is feasible and cost-effective.展开更多

The synthesis problem is formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming(MINLP) problem,which is solved by simulated annealing algorithm under a random procedure to explore the optimal operating parameters and the distillation sequence structure. The shaft work targeting method is used to evaluate the minimum energy cost of the corresponding separation system during the optimization without any need for a detailed design for the heat exchanger network(HEN) and the refrigeration system(RS). The method presented in the paper can dramatically reduce the scale and complexity of the problem. A case study of ethylene cold-end separation is used to illustrate the application of the approach. Compared with the original industrial scheme, the result is encouraging.展开更多

With the vertical component of 3_component teleseismic P waveform as the input of a Wiener filter, receiver function as the filter response, and radial and tangential components as the expected output, receiver function is estimated by minimizing the error between expected and actual outputs. Receiver function can be obtained by solving the Toeplitz equation using the Levinson algorithm. The non_singularity of the Toeplitz equation ensures the stability of Wiener Deconvolution. Both synthetic and observational seismogram checks show that Wiener Deconvolution is an effective time_domain method to estimate receiver function from teleseismic P waveform.展开更多

Filtration experiments were performed at 60 ℃, 500 rpm and different transmembrane pressures using four commercial membranes: MF, PVDF 0.2 μm; NF, PES 300, 500 and 1000 Da. The process effectiveness was evaluated through the permeate flux and the total solids (TS) concentration in the retentate. Because the retention of TS and permeate fluxes were very similar for MF, PVDF-0.2 membrane at 0.10 MPa was selected because of its lower power consumption. The best conditions tested for NF were the following: PES-1000 at 3.50 MPa with a flux of 183.2 kg/m^2 h at a volume reduction factor (VRF) of 2, under which 68% of solids were retained. For the MF + NF, a PES-1000 at 3.50 MPa was selected because a higher permeate flux was achieved at a VRF of 4, and PES-500 at 3.50 MPa because a higher retention of TS was achieved compared to the other experiments. A single NF resulted in a retentate concentration that was almost twice as high as the hybrid MF and NF process, allowing reduced costs in its transportation from distilleries to distant areas.展开更多

The locomotion of swing and supporting legs is solved by the optimal trajectory planning based on function approximation. The optimal trajectory planning based on function approximation. The optimal walking locomotion solution with minimum square of input torque exhibits a natural walking gait with one step period of 0.64 s similar to the human walking gait by using the link parameters of an adult’s leg. It is concluded from the computation results that the method proposed in this paper has been proved to be an effective tool for solving the optimal walking locomotion and joint control torque problems for a 3 DOF biped mechanism; when the ankle joint of the supporting leg is a passive joint, a nearly, optimal walking solution can be obtained at t 1=0.49 s and t 2=10 s, and however, when the knee is a passive joint, it is impossible to obtain a solution which satisfies the constraint condition; for the link parameters used in this paper, the length of an optimal stride is 0.3 m.展开更多

The variation of oil yield for different biomass feedstock with reactor bed temperature and feed size is presented in this paper. A maximum liquid yield of 55 wt% of dry feedstock is obtained at an optimum temperature of 500℃ for a feed size of 300-600μm with a running time of 55 min for nutshell as the feedstock while the minimum liquid oil yield is found to be 30 wt% of feedstock at an optimum temperature of 400℃ for a feed size of 2.36 mm with a running time of 65 min for linseed residue as the feedstock. A comparison on the product yields is highlighted in this study. The pyrolysis liquid products are characterized and compared for some of the fuel properties like HHV (higher heating value), viscosity, density and specific gravity.展开更多
