asphaltenes are the n-pentane or n-heptane insoluble fractions of crude oil that remain in solution under reservoir temperature and pressure conditions. they are destabilized and start to precipitate when the pressure, temperature and/or composition changes occur during primary production. the precipitated asphaltene particles will then grow in size and may start to deposit onto the production ...

a statistical mechanical based equation of state has been employed to calculate the liquid density of lead, mercury, bismuth and lead-bismuth and lead-lithium eutectic alloys.the equation is basically that of song, mason and ihm [ihm g, song y, mason ea. j. chem. phys.1991; 94: 3839] which is modified by ghatee and boushehri. three temperature dependent parameters are required to use this equat...

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed for solving optimal control problem of Volterra integral equations using radial basis functions (RBFs) for approximating unknown function. Actually, the method is based on interpolation by radial basis functions including multiquadrics (MQs), to determine the control vector and the corresponding state vector in linear dynamic system while minimizing...

A simple algebraic algorithm is proposed as a computational tool for the thin-lens design of a triplet which consists of a singlet and a cemented doublet. The triplet is required to yield specified amounts of lens power, primary spherical aberration, central coma, longitudinal chromatic aberration and secondary spectrum. The three element powers of the triplet are first obtained by solving the ...

We consider a class of two-player dynamic stochastic nonzero-sum games where the state transition and observation equations are linear, and the primitive random variables are Gaussian. Each controller acquires possibly different dynamic information about the state process and the other controller’s past actions and observations. This leads to a dynamic game of asymmetric information among the c...

We investigate the convective cooling of a fluid with quadratic equation state by performing three-dimensional direct numerical simulations flow fixed top-boundary temperature, which is lower than initial temperature. consider temperatures near density maximum, where nonlinearity expected to be important. When nonlinear, resultant vertical transport heat fundamentally different and significantl...

in this paper the active vibration control of a four-story shear frame instrumented with piezoelectric actuators is presented. the piezoelectric actuators are hosted on the columns in two manners and the produced controlling forces by actuators are considered in the equation of motion. the smart structure modeling and control design is carried out using matlab software in state space form. subs...

We study backward stochastic Riccati equations (BSREs) arising in quadratic optimal control problems with infinite dimensional stochastic differential state equations. We allow the coefficients, both in the state equation and in the cost, to be random. In such a context BSREs are backward stochastic differential equations living in a non-Hilbert space and involving quadratic non-linearities. We...
