Study on Water Spray for Dust Control

Contamination Control Study on Mine Dust

In order to ensure that the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is clean, some simple methods need to be developed for the cleanliness monitoring program. Two methods arc selected and examined. The two methods. X-ray fluorescence and optical counting, can be used for detecting and quantifying the amount of mine dust on flat surfaces. X-ray fluorescence is based on element detection, a method tha...

a study on thermodynamic models for simulation of 1,3 butadiene purification columns

attempts have been made to study the thermodynamic behavior of 1,3 butadiene purification columns with the aim of retrofitting those columns to more energy efficient separation schemes. 1,3 butadiene is purified in two columns in series through being separated from methyl acetylene and 1,2 butadiene in the first and second column respectively. comparisons have been made among different therm...

Trajectory and spray control planning on unknown 3D surfaces for industrial spray painting robot

Automated 3D path and spray control planning of industrial painting robots for unknown target surfaces is desired to meet demands on the production system. In this thesis, an image acquisition and laser range scanning based method has been developed. The system utilizes the XY projection of the boundaries of the target surface to generate the gun trajectory’s X and Y coordinates as well as the ...

Set-based Control for Autonomous Spray Painting

In this paper, a method is presented for lowering the energy consumption and/or increasing the speed of a standard manipulator spray painting a surface. The approach is based on the observation that a small angle between the spray direction and the surface normal does not affect the quality of the paint job. Recent results in set-based kinematic control are utilized to develop a switched contro...
