Abstract: The paper reviews the results of recent research work at UMIST, United Kingdom with a major global energy company that has an ongoing need for engineering based capital investment projects. The research studied the company’s ...

Abstract: Based on a comprehensive analysis of four groups of chemical and biological reactions, a general pseudo‐steady‐state mathematical model of the anaerobic‐digeston buffer system was developed. According to the characteristics ...

Abstract: Three types of wastewater based on acetate, sucrose, and ice cream were used to investigate the long‐term effect of wastewater composition on the stability of the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process using ...

Abstract: In this paper analysis results for a 2D solid oxide fuel cell model are presented. The model is solved on an unstructured mesh with the finite-volume scheme using an iterative Newton’s method. ...

Abstract: The masonry arch has its origins in the history of building as a functional means of admitting light and air through walls of massive masonry construction. As the construction of buildings evolved and the technology of ...

Abstract: Sensitivity analysis and design optimization of solid oxide fuel cells are presented. Multispecies diffusion, low speed convection, and chemical kinetics are included in a two-dimensional numerical ...

Abstract: Bench-scale and 160 MWe demonstration tests were conducted for petroleum coke and high volatile bituminous coal blends. The bench-scale apparatus was a 100-mm-dia reactor located at the Canada ...

Abstract: Presented in this paper is an algorithm that allows the numerical kinematic inversion of robot manipulators in the presence of singularities. It is aimed at continuous-path applications, in which ...

Abstract: This study describes the first application of a varus loading device (VLD) to the rat hind limb to study the role of sustained altered compressive loading and its relationship to the initiation ...
