Analysing organic micropollutant accumulation in closed loop FO–RO systems: A pilot plant study

A New Approach in Preliminary Design of Closed Loop Solar Thermal Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)

In this paper, a model for closed loop solar system is presented and an attempt is made to generalize the model to be utilized for primary design of any solar active thermal system. This model may be used for systems in which gas or a liquid are fluids that flow. Two new parameters, namely, the system heat delivery factor and the system heat absorption factor are introduced in the model. These ...

Closed-Loop Anesthesia in Children using a PID controller: A Pilot Study

The first study with a PID controller based automatic drug delivery system for propofol anesthesia in children is presented. It is shown that a robustly tuned PID controller is capable of delivering safe and adequate anesthesia. The design process of the control system is reviewed. Results are discussed and compared to those of two previous studies in adults.

Organic Micropollutant Removal by Biological Activated Carbon Filtration: A Review

Active Fault Diagnosis in Closed-loop Systems

Active fault diagnosis (AFD) of parametric faults is considered in connection with closed loop feedback systems. AFD involves auxiliary signals applied on the closed loop system. A fault signature matrix is introduced in connection with AFD and it is shown that if a limited number of faults can occur in the system, a fault separation in the fault signature matrix can be obtained. Then the singl...

Sustainability in Closed Loop Chilled Water Systems

There are many opportunities to make the Healthcare system more sustainable. We want to reduce the money we send to utility companies and have more health care dollars available for healthcare. The LEED process [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] provides additional opportunities. Building LEED Silver hospitals is not only in keeping with some government jurisdictional guidelines [A...
