Abstract The measurement data of single droplet evaporation experiments are often biased due to the extra heat input through fiber suspension and presence thermal radiation in hot environments. This encumbers model validation for mass transfer simulations liquid droplets. In this paper, a analysis layout is presented with coupled lumped parameter model, considering conduction suspension. was va...

Daily and monthly flow-rates of the Little Nemaha River in Nebraska were simulated by the lumped-parameter Jakeman-Hornberger as well as a distributed-parameter water-balance accounting procedure for the 2003-2008 and 20002009 periods, respectively, with and without the help of the MODIS-based monthly estimates of evapotranspiration (ET) rates. While the daily lumped-parameter model simulation ...

The concept of approximate dynamic programming and adaptive critic neural network based optimal controller is extended in this study to include systems governed by partial differential equations. An optimal controller is synthesized for a dispersion type tubular chemical reactor, which is governed by two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. It consists of three steps: First, empiri...
