this paper presents the application of radial basis neural networks to the development of a novel method for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of synchronous generators. in the proposed scheme, flux linkage analysis is used to reach a decision. probabilistic neural network (pnn) and discrete wavelet transform (dwt) are used in design of fault diagnosis system. pnn as main part of thi...

Porous surface modified polyvinylidene ï‌‚uoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes are fabricated through a dry-wet phased inversion process. Surface modifying macromolecules (SMM) (1 wt. %) are used as additives in the spinning dope. The performance of the surface modified membrane in contactor application for CO2 stripping from water is assessed through the fabricated gas–liquid membrane contacto...

Optimization of specific power of axial flux permanent magnet brushless DC (PMBLDC) motor based on genetic algorithm optimization technique for an electric vehicle application is presented. Double rotor sandwiched stator topology of axial flux permanent magnet brushless DC motor is selected considering its best suitability in electric vehicle applications. Rating of electric motor is determined...

Abstract: Dissolution and recovery of Mn-Al compacts with and without a chloride flux was studied by taking samples from the melt after addition of the compact. Events occurring after the addition of the compacts into the melt were studied using water quenched specimens after holding them for a specified time in molten state. The cross sections of these specimens were characterized by SEM a...

background: hemodialysis is a process of removing waste and excess fluid from blood when kidneys cannot function efficiently. it often involves diverting blood to the filter of the dialysis machin to be cleared of toxic substances. fouling of pores in dialysis membrane caused by adhesion of plasma protein and other toxins will reduce the efficacy of the filtre. objective: in this study, the inf...

beer is the most consumed beverage after tea, carbonates, milk and coffee in the world and it continues to be a popular drink. one of the important reason for its popularity is that beer is a drink with a pleasant flavor, an attractive color and also because of its clarity. so, membrane separation technology has become widely used in the food processing industryto attain these characteristics.a...

this study examines the transport of seventeen heavy metals between the isipingo estuary andthe adjacent sea. results demonstrate variability of fluxes in terms of prevalence, concentration and seasonality.summer neap and spring tides had approximately twice the number of heavy metals compared to winter andspring seasons. spring and winter seasons yielded higher concentrations and a greater num...

this research was conducted to study the effect of lime based flux with the composition of cao-20%caf2-8%feo on simultaneous removal of phosphorus and sulfur from hot metal. the effects of na2o and oxygen blowing were also studied. the experiments were performed using an induction furnace and hot metal produced in isfahan steel company in the temperature range 1350-1450 ºc. the results showed t...

the main driving force of the earth atmospheric system is solar radiation. radiation flux determines the surface temperature and impacts life on the earth through photosynthesis. a quantitative knowledge of the earth radiation field is important to evaluate the atmosphere–surface interactions and the global hydrological cycle. various atmospheric radiative transfer models have been proposed in ...
