The IMC structure of the system is derived, and its robust stability and zero steady state error characteristics are analyzed. A new control algorithm is developed by adding the variation of the outputs to the index performance. The simulation results show that the method is effective and has zeros steady-state error.展开更多

This work targets two deep artesian wells(>5000 m) that are producing heavy crude oil. The impacts of well conditions including temperature, pressure and shear rate, on the crude oil rheology were comprehensively investigated and correlated using several empirical rheological models. The experimental data indicate that this heavy oil is very sensitive to temperature as result of microstructure change caused by hydrogen bonding. The rheological behavior of the heavy oil is also significantly impacted by the imposed pressure, i.e., the viscosity flow activation energy(Eμ) gently increases with the increasing pressure. The viscosity–shear rate data are well fitted to the power law model at low temperature. However, due to the transition of fluid feature at high temperature(Newtonian fluid), the measured viscosity was found to slightly deviate from the fitting data. Combining the evaluated correlations, the viscosity profile of the heavy crude oil in these two deep artesian wells as a function of well depth was predicted using the oilfield producing data.展开更多

A deep literature review supported the production of four ad hoc prototypes that aided the development of the proposed approach. Tests carried out with the prototypes led to the procurement of the modal parameters be used to calibrate the numerical models, as well as the FRF （frequency response function） curves be used to validate the numerical solution. The validated model allowed structural changes to be then promoted on the prototypes, in order to make them more robust to variations in manufacturing and assembling processes. The mentioned adjustments and structural changes were accomplished by means of a process of structural optimization using Genetic Algorithm. The solution was developed based on the commercial finite element code ANSYS. The practical results obtained in this study show that a numerical model for modal analysis of an electric motor fixed on a rigid base with errors less than 3% for the first three modes of vibration can be achieved, allowing positive structural changes to be performed in the machine design that result in the minimization of manufacturing reworks associated with the dynamic behavior of the studied motor.展开更多
