Radial outflow two-phase turbine (ROTPT) is an impulse used for total flow systems in applications like geothermal fields to utilize the geofluid energy effectively. This paper presented a one-dimensional nonequilibrium inverse mean-line design method of ROTPT. With prescribed pressure and blade angle distributions, averaged geometry parameters rotating impeller channels were derived along dire...

extended kalman filtering (ekf) is a nonlinear dynamic data reconciliation (nddr) method. one of its main advantages is its suitability for on-line applications. this paper presents an on-line nddr method using ekf. it is implemented for two case studies, temperature measurements of a distillation column and concentration measurements of a cstr. in each time step, random numbers with zero mean ...

application of feed pellets in animal and aquatic farming industries has grown because of both the physical and the nutritional benefits it provides. development of feed pellets manufacturing industry is also considerable. steam conditioning process, which plays an important role in pelleting production, includes heating feed particles, adding moisture, and mixing the mash. pellets cooling and ...

assembly lines are special kinds of production systems which are of great importance in the industrial production of high quantity commodities. in many practical manufacturing systems, configuration of assembly lines is fixed and designing a new line may be incurred huge amount of costs and thereby it is not desirable for practitioners. when some changes related to market demand occur, it is wo...

The Barzilai-Borwein method, an effective gradient descent method with cleaver choice of the step-length, is adapted from nonlinear optimization to Riemannian manifold optimization. More generally, global convergence of a nonmonotone line-search strategy for Riemannian optimization algorithms is proved under some standard assumptions. By a set of numerical tests, the Riemannian Barzilai-Borwein...

The Barzilai-Borwein method for nonlinear optimization is adapted to Riemannian manifold optimization. More generally, global convergence of a nonmonotone line-search strategy for Riemannian optimization algorithms is proved under some standard assumptions. By a set of numerical tests, the Riemannian BarzilaiBorwein method with nonmonotone line-search is shown to be competitive in several Riema...
