methyl tertiary butyl ether (mtbe) is known as a promising substitute for tetra ethyl lead (tel) in order to increase the octane number of gasoline. mtbe process, as many other processes, has two distinguished section, namely reaction section and separation section. in this paper we focus only on synthesis and optimization of separation section of this process. in order to achieve this objectiv...

Cooling towers are important equipments for the HVAC systems in commercial buildings, rejecting the process heat generation to the atmosphere. Dynamic modeling of cooling towers is beneficial for control design and fault detection and diagnostics of the chilled-water systems. This paper proposes a simple and yet effective dynamic model for a typical mechanical draft counter-flow wet cooling tow...

This research paper presents preliminary results on a behavioural study of a free yawing downwind wind turbine. A series of wind tunnel tests was performed at the TU Delft Open Jet Facility with a three bladed downwind wind turbine and a rotor radius of 0.8 meters. The setup includes an off the shelf three bladed hub, nacelle and generator on which relatively flexible blades are mounted. The to...

We propose a systematic method to produce potentially good recursive towers over finite fields. The graph point of view, so as some magma and sage computations are used in this process. We also establish some theoretical functional criterion ensuring the existence of many rational points on a recursive tower. Both points are illustrated on an example, from the production process, to the theoret...

the objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between 16 process variables of the cmp tower chemi-mechanical pulp, and 17 newsprint quality properties at mazandaran wood and paper industries and to develop predictive models. after preparation of suitable data series considering the time needed for pulp to paper, the relations between process dependant and newsprint independen...

One of basic principles in designing treatment environments is to design air conditioning/ventilation system proportionate to environment. Essentially, appropriate air conditioner in treatment spaces must bear the following capabilities: providing healthy and clean air, reducing the concentration of pollutants produced in the atmosphere, emission of pollutants and impeding their spread in exter...

At present, the calculation method of ice load on surface navigation ships has been very mature, but submarine is few. The reasonable evaluation become an urgent problem to be solved. In this paper, mechanical characteristics surfacing ice-breaking process are systematically analyzed. Based theory plate and shell, theoretical models resistance command tower hull established, respectively, obtai...

A tower crane can be reduced the sway oscillation easily by controlling the rotation acceleration. With the proposed open-loop fast control method which is operated by controlling acceleration, the sway angle of suspended load can be maintained during the movement as well as reduced oscillation during and at the end of movement. In this paper, we design and produce a scaled tower crane with a s...
