Abstract: The thermal modeling and analysis of a transparent insulation materials (TIM) covered solar integrated collector storage (ICS) water heating system with phase-change material (PCM) is carried out ...

Abstract: Time Delay Control has recently been suggested as an alternative scheme for control of systems with unknown dynamics and unpredictable disturbances. The proposed control algorithm does not require ...

Abstract: The successful operation of actively controlled magnetic bearings depends greatly on the electromechanical design and control system design. The function of the controller is to maintain bearing ...

Abstract: This investigation involves the axisymmetric transient temperature calculations using the finite-element analysis during heating of an ingot. Two types of nonlinearities are considered: the first ...

Abstract: It is well known that the ambient air pollution attributable to road traffic depends on a number of factors such as the quality of fuel used, engine technology, driving conditions, emission control devices, and meteorological ...

Abstract: A simple model for tool (cathode) design for plane parallel electrochemical machining and electrochemical drilling has been proposed. Assuming the initial tool shape to be complementary to required ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite-element model of a jointed concrete pavement with aggregate interlocking load transfer system. Interlocking mechanism has been modeled by a set of discrete springs. A new parameter “modulus of ...

Abstract: Accurate estimation of both runoff and sediment yield is required for proper watershed management. Artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed, to predict both runoff and sediment yield on a daily and weekly ...

Abstract: A procedure is presented for performing three-dimensional stress analysis of spiral bevel gears in mesh using the finite element method. The procedure involves generating a finite element model ...
