Computer Simulation of Ammonia Cold Shot Converter

A mathematical model is developed and tested with plant data for the ammonia cold shot converter of Razi Petrochemical Complex. The model is based on a material and energy balance in a differential element of beds and is subjected to the assumptions of uniform distribution of temperature and composition through a general cross section and negligible mass and heat transfer in axial direction. Th...

A Unified approach for Conventional Zero-shot, Generalized Zero-shot and Few-shot Learning

Prevalent techniques in zero-shot learning do not generalize well to other related problem scenarios. Here, we present a unified approach for conventional zero-shot, generalized zero-shot and few-shot learning problems. Our approach is based on a novel Class Adapting Principal Directions (CAPD) concept that allows multiple embeddings of image features into a semantic space. Given an image, our ...

Side Effects of Shot Peening on Fatigue Crack Initiation Life

Shot peening beneficial effects on fatigue life of mechanical components are well known. However, there are some reports in the literature that indicate inappropriate shot peening parameters tend to reduce the fatigue life. It is therefore, the purpose of this study to find a logical quantitative justification for these observations. Using finite element method, a dynamic elastic-plastic simula...

A Shot in the Dark

What can we learn from a shot in the dark? What can a relatively simple, random procedure tell us about an unknown and potentially complex space? Simple techniques based on randomized algorithms have been surprisingly successful in solving very difficult computational problems. This may be due to a phase transition observed for certain problems: most problem cases are easy to solve or easily sh...
