Improved dusty gas cleaning in open-cast automobile transport

Dusty gas with one fluid

In this paper, we show how the two-fluid equations describing the evolution of a dust and gas mixture can be re-formulated to describe a single fluid moving with the barycentric velocity of the mixture. This leads to evolution equations for the total density, momentum, the differential velocity between the dust and the gas phases and either the dust-to-gas ratio or the dust fraction. The equati...

Predictive Control of Gas Injection in Natural Gas Transport Networks

The present sought to draw a comparison between Model Predictive Control performance and two other controllers named Simple PI and Selective PI in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in SIMULINK® environment of MATLAB®. Control schemes were designed to provide a s...

Modeling transient organic vapor transport in porous media with the dusty gas model

The dusty gas model constitutive relationships were incorporated into a numerical model for three-phase, multicomponent flow and transport in porous media. The dusty gas model properly accounts for interactions between all gas-phase species in multicomponent gas mixtures. The model also included Knudsen diffusion, which becomes important in very fine grained soils. The dusty gas model results w...

Chaplygin Gas Cosmology Predicts Only 'dusty' Universe

We consider a new approach for Chaplygin gas cosmology, in which the relativistic formulation of Chaplygin matter is of crucial importance. Specifically, the dynamical content of this matter induces a generalizd energy conservation principle. Our results show that (for all times) the universe consists of a novel form of matter with dust like density (∼ (volume) −1) and negative pressure, that i...
