simulation of turbulence boiling, generation of vapour and predication of its behaviour are still subject to debate in the two-phase flow area and they receive a high level of worldwide attention. in this study, a new arrangement of the three dimensional governing equations for turbulence two-phase flow with heat and mass transfer are derived by using ensemble averaging two-fluid model and util...

Supply Chain (SC) design problems are often characterized with uncertainty related to the decisionmaking parameters. The Stochastic Goal Programming (SGP) was one of the aggregating procedures proposed to solve the SC problems. However, the SGP does not integrate explicitly the Decision-Maker’s preferences. The aim of this paper is to utilize the Chance Constrained Programming and the Satisfact...

In this paper, we use Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) for abstracting the style of a composer and for recognizing it out of an unknown excerpt. We employed a data set of 605 musical themes written by five well-known composers (Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak, Stravinsky, Beatles). A preliminary investigation based on descriptive statistics served the purpose of choosing a group of suitable music represen...

this paper deals with the interfacial effects of silica fume (sf) and styrene-butadiene polymer (sbr) on compressive strength of concrete. analyzing the compressive strength results of 32 concrete mixes performed over two water-binder ratios (0.35, 0.45), four percentages replacement of silica fume (0%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%) and four percentages of sbr (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%) were investigated. a mathemati...

This paper presents a model-based supervisory control strategy for online control of building central cooling water systems to enhance their energy efficiency. Simplified chiller and cooling tower models are developed and used to predict the system energy performance, environment quality as well as the system response to the changes of control settings. A novel and simple optimization technique...

The paper describes a simple analytical framework to be used when designing control algorithms for systems of specific type – in which the state derivatives go in feedback as accelerometer signals, and the overall controller explicitly exhibits an algebraic disturbance feedback loop. A simplified hydrofoil craft linear model is treated as an example. The method proposed combines all the approac...
