This work deals with membrane separation processes, their modelling and optimal control. A self-optimizing control is introduced, a method proposed by Johannes Jäschke (NTNU, Norway) to control heat exchanger network by controlling "Jäschke temperatures". This type of self-optimizing control is applied to control membrane processes, specifically membrane contactor network. This network consists...

The statistical behavior of droplets in a kerosene pressure-atomized spray was investigated under swirling and burning conditions. This case was studied in order to better understand individual droplet transport processes downstream of the fuel spray flame. A two-component phase-Doppler particle sizing system was employed to provide information on the droplet size and velocity distributions as ...
