An advanced rapidly-exploring random trees( RRT) algorithm is proposed, in which each tracing point dispersed from the end hosepipe path can map multi-states of CPT so as to make variety of motion path of CPT. For increasing search efficiency and motion path quality,this algorithm generates any random states of CPT in certain probability to trend to the initial state or target state mapped with the end hosepipe path,and to have the least cost between this random state and its parent state. A typical case and two special cases are analyzed in which the end hosepipe paths are reciprocating linear trajectory and planar or spatial sine curves respectively. Their results verify the feasibility and validity of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The study focuses on evaluating the potential environmental impact of cement dust fugitive emissions from 176 cement silos located in 25 concrete batching facilities in the M35 Mussafah industrial area of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Emission factors are crucial for quantifying the PM<sub>10</sub> emission rates (g/s) that support developing source-specific emission estimates for areawide inventories to identify major sources of pollution that provide screening sources for compliance monitoring and air dispersion modeling. This requires data to be collected involves information on production, raw material usage, energy consumption, and process-related details, this was obtained using various methods, including field visits, surveys, and interviews with facility representatives to calculate emission rates accurately. Statistical analysis was conducted on cement consumption and emission rates for controlled and uncontrolled sources of the targeted facilities. The data shows that the average cement consumption among the facilities is approximately 88,160 (MT/yr), with a wide range of variation depending on the facility size and production rate. The emission rates from controlled sources have an average of 4.752E<sup>-04</sup> (g/s), while the rates from uncontrolled sources average 0.6716 (g/s). The analysis shows a significant statistical relationship (p < 0.05) and perfect positive correlation (r = 1) between cement consumption and emission rates, indicating that as cement consumption increases, emission rates tend to increase as well. Furthermore, comparing the emission rates from controlled and uncontrolled scenarios. The data showed a significant difference between the two scenarios, highlighting the effectiveness of control measures in reducing PM<sub>10</sub> emissions. The study’s findings provide insights into the impact of cement silo emissions on air quality and the importance of implementing control measures in concrete batching facilities. The comparative analysis contributes to understanding emission sources and supports the development of pollution control strategies in the Ready-Mix industry.展开更多
