Blast Design for Improved Productivity using a Modified Available Energy Method

In this work, a new drilling and blasting design methodology is introduced and applied at a case study mine to improve productivity. For the case study copper mine, a blast diameter of 203 mm is proposed to be used in the ore zone to meet the new required production rate of 90mtpa from 75mtpa. Currently, the Konya and Walter’s model is used to generate drilling and blasting design at a bl...

Calculations of absorbed dose and energy dependent of small-scale dosimeters for photons beam therapy

In this study, the energy dependency for dosimeters of air ionization chambers, lithium fluoride, silicon and plastic scintillator has been studied using the MCNPX Monte Carlo simulation code and simulated for gamma energy in the range of radiotherapy energy. The simulation results show that the response of each of the dosimeters for gamma photon beams in the energy range of 0.2 to 20 MeV varie...

Free energy calculations: an efficient adaptive biasing potential method.

We develop an efficient sampling and free energy calculation technique within the adaptive biasing potential (ABP) framework. By mollifying the density of states we obtain an approximate free energy and an adaptive bias potential that is computed directly from the population along the coordinates of the free energy. Because of the mollifier, the bias potential is "nonlocal", and its gradient ad...

A New Method for Hybrid Energy Storage Capacity Determination in Isolated Micro Grid

In recent years, hybrid energy storage (HES) to increase lifetime and reliability extremely are used in renewable systems and microgrids. In this paper, a new method for determining battery and supercapacitor capacity in an isolated microgrid is presented. Difference between Generation and load power using discrete fourier transform is transferred to the frequency domain and by determining the ...
