RISOptimal Trajectory Generation for Robotic Manipulators Using Dynamic Programming
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The problem of optimal control of robotic manipulators is dealt with in two stages: (1) optimal trajectory planning, which is performed off-line and results in the prescription of the position ...
Textile Dye Removal in Single-Phase and Two-Phase Anaerobic Biotreatment Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research compares performances of an anaerobic two-phase reactor system and a conventional single-phase reactor system in treatment of a synthetic dye wastewater. The two-phase reactor setup used four anaerobic reactors ...
Understanding the Mixing Pattern in an Anaerobic Expanded Granular Sludge Bed Reactor: Effect of Liquid Recirculation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An anaerobic expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor is considered to be an improvement over upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors owing to the former’s ability to recycle the effluent and its modified reactor ...
Understanding Changes in the Tropical Circulation under Global Warming Using a Cloud-Resolving Model and a Conceptual Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud-resolving model (CRM) is used to investigate how a prototype tropical circulation driven by a sea surface temperature (SST) contrast changes in a warmer climate. The CRM is used to simulate a region of the atmosphere ...
On the Propagation of Weak Discontinuities Along Bicharacteristics in a Radiating Gas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The propagation of weak discontinuities along bicharacteristic curves in the characteristic manifold of the differential equations governing the flow of a radiating gas near the optically thin ...
Flowable Slurry Containing Foundry Sands
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This research was carried out to evaluate the use of foundry sands on properties of flowable slurry. Two different flowable slurry mixtures were proportioned for strength levels in the 0.34–0.69 MPa (50–100 psi) range, at ...
Permeability of Flowable Slurry Materials Containing Foundry Sand and Fly Ash
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of foundry sand and fly ash on permeability of flowable slurry mixtures. In this work, two reference flowable fly ash slurry mixtures were proportioned for strength levels ...
Can Soil Arching Be Insensitive to ϕ ?
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Arching is a common phenomenon that is encountered in backfilling behind retaining walls, trenches, or underground voids in the mine. Marston’s equation has been widely used and modified for computing stresses within ...
AnMBR Treatment of High-Strength Starch-Based Wastewater: Impact of Cleaning Process and CEBs on Membrane Fouling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An anaerobic continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) integrated with an external tubular nanofiltration membrane module was operated for 466 days. Studies were conducted to compare the efficiencies in flux and ...
Study of HRT, CRT, and Biomass Renovation in Fungal Sequencing Batch Aerobic Reactor for Decolorization of Distillery Spentwash
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Decolorization of anaerobically digested and polyaluminium chloride (PAC) treated distillery spentwash was studied in a fungal sequencing batch aerobic reactor (FSBAR). Pellets of isolated
