This work presents an FPGA-based emulator that can be used for emulating NAND Flash memories, either at the chip or at the channel level, along with the effect of aging on their performance. The emulator is based on a reconfigurable hardware-software architecture, which enables accurate representation of various NAND Flash technologies, focusing especially on MLC cases. The presented architectu...

A new absorption vapor compression distillation was proposed in present research. An open absorption heat transformer has a coupled thermally evaporator and absorber. Distillation of waste water with high content of SiO 2 from heavy oil production. The waste heat of 70 C can be elevated up to 125 C and generate steam of 120 C. The waste heat is able to drive four-effect distillation to produce ...

Acetic acid is the most widely used aliphatic carbonic acid used as a reaction partner during the manufacture of acetic acid esters, or employed as a solvent in the production of cellulose acetate. Although acetic acid and water do not form any azeotrope, use of simple distillation to separate these two components is still not practical due to its high energy consumption rate. In this work, som...

Through its ‘Column Targeting Tools’ the Aspen plus simulator performs the ‘Thermal Analysis’ for rigorous column (RadFrac) calculations and produce Column Grand Composite Curves (CGCC) and exergy loss profiles. The CGCC displays the net enthalpies for the actual and ideal operations at each stage, and the cold and hot heat utility requirements, while the exergy loss profiles indicate the level...

Distillation columns have been widely used in chemical plants for separation process. The high nonlinearity and dynamic behavior of the column make them hard to control. Internal Model Control (IMC) is one of the model based control strategy that have become the central of research to control such column. This paper will review the implementation of IMC in controlling continuous distillation co...

a new multi-stage fuzzy (msf) controller based on multi-objective harmony search algorithm (mohsa) is proposed in this paper to solve the load frequency control (lfc) problem of power systems in deregulated environment. lfc problem are caused by load perturbations, which continuously disturb the normal operation of power system. the objectives of lfc are to mini small size the transient deviati...

This study proposes using membrane distillation (MD) as an alternative to the conventional multi-stage flushing (MSF) process to concentrate a semi-product of organic fertilizer. By applying a unique asymmetric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane, which was specifically designed for MD applications using a nonsolvent thermally induced phase separation (NTIPS) method, the direct contact memb...

We present our work on constructing multi-scale deep convolutional neural networks for automatic speech recognition. Several VGG nets have been trained that differ solely in the kernel size of the convolutional layers. The general idea is that receptive fields of varying sizes match structures of different scales, thus supporting more robust recognition when combined appropriately. We construct...
