A stirred-tank reactor was built with the objective of rapid and accurate temperature control in the reaction vessel. A first-principles heat transfer model was developed for the jacketed batch system, with the jacket inlet temperature used to control the vessel temperature. A model predictive controller was implemented to follow a rapidly changing temperature profile that cycled between steep ...

The study about the jacket platforms in the past has revealed that the most of the collapse failures occur due to the lack of strength of the pile foundation. However, when the jacket platforms which have been collapsed due to extreme condition were looked into, it was found that most of them had their foundations intact. These contrasting facts can be explained with the help of the phenomenon ...

Abstract We present a new interaction space for wearables by inlaying interactive elements, in the form of buttons, into outdoor clothing, specifically jackets and coats. Interactive buttons, or iButtons, allow users to perform specific tasks using inconspicuous gesture...

Accurate modeling of process temperatures within jacketed batch reactors has the potential to mitigate risk thermal runaways and enhance control. A non-adiabatic heat-transfer model is derived for investigation heat transfer in laboratory pilot-scale 0.5–40 L. By accounting removed from by a total condenser losses through lid, able predict temperature profiles uncertainty limits experimental me...

This article reads Herman Melville’s White-Jacket as an exploration of shipboard boredom, which oscillates between mechanized labor (tedium) and periods idleness at sea (ennui). The story, revolves around a sailor wearing white jacket among navy-blue uniforms, gives account the perils boredom. My contention is that this (subject) gets so attached to his (object) he becomes unable tell differenc...

Abstract Most of common thermal jackets for gun tubes are composite types, which have large mass and complex structures. With the development material technology, a single-layer jacket using new materials with low conductivity has good protection effects on tubes. The design requires consideration thickness, air gap, properties structural strength. In order to study factors that affect performa...

In this study, mass, stiffness and damping matrices of the Nosrat jacket; located in Persian Gulf; equipped with Semi Active Tuned Mass Damper (SATMD) system have been derived after modeling the structure in SACS software. Owing to huge number of the degrees of freedom in the model, computation of on-line control of SATMD was time consuming. For this purpose, the size of the model was reduced i...

The ironless linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (ILPMSM) is highly compact, easy to control, and exhibits minimal thrust fluctuations, making it an ideal choice for direct loading applications requiring precise positioning accuracy in test rigs. To address the issue of temperature rise resulting from increased primary winding current simultaneously enhance density while minimizing this p...

This paper performed compressive tests on corroded reinforced concrete (RC) columns with externally confined ultra-high performance (UHPC) jacket. The studied parameters in this testing program was the corrosion ratio of specimens. influences parameter behavior by UHPC jacket reported and discussed. test results revealed that when rust rate less than 20%, axial cracking typical failure mode unr...
