Abstract: Biological oxidation is widely used in industrial waste treatment. In order to achieve economic design, a thorough understanding of the process and its kinetics is necessary. This paper defines ...

Abstract: The process of modeling transducers generally involves the use of a finite number of discrete lumped elements connected using circuit-like conventions. However, such models are difficult to use ...

Abstract: Transducer models are typically comprised of a finite number of discrete lumped elements connected using circuit conventions. Such models are inappropriate for transducers which explicitly depend ...

Abstract: A Moehwald HDA (HDA is a German acronym: Hydraulischer Druckanstieg: hydraulic pressure increase) injection quantity and rate measuring unit is used to investigate injection rates obtained with a fastacting, preproduction ...

Abstract: Statistical considerations are applied to a general equation of motion for cup anemometers in a turbulent wind. It is shown that the relative overspeeding ?S/S can be expressed as ?S/S = Ih2 · Js(l0/?s) + cIw2, where Is ...

Abstract: The response of quenched and tempered, and ausform H-11 steel to strain aging was investigated. The straining temperature was the most important variable. Straining at elevated (up to 900 deg ...

Abstract: Fluid-structure interactions in hydrodynamic bearings result in load carrying and drag forces which give the bearing its characteristics. While these bearings offer many benefits as machine ...

Abstract: A mixed‐integer programming model was used to obtain least‐cost system rehabilitation plans for a 6,900‐ha (17,000‐acre) irrigation project in southeastern Idaho. Three types of gravity conveyance system components (existing ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the deformation-induced stability of earthen embankment dams to explosive airblast loading. This study specifically investigated the effects of close-in explosive airblast loads ...

Abstract: Robust H∞ optimal control theory has proven to be one of the best techniques in linear control system design. The achievable robust stability and performance are high, but the resulting ...
