the underground temperature at a depth of about three to four meters is almost constant during the year. as a result in summer the underground is cooler than the ambient temperature. this potential is considered for greenhouse cooling by using an earth-to-air heat exchanger (eahe). in this research the effects of two parameters were investigated: a) the area of greenhouse in three levels of 9, ...

This paper presents the effect of high viscosity oil and two-phase foamy-oil flow on the performance of a single stage centrifugal pump. As a part of this, the applicability of a pipe viscometer to determine the foamy oil viscosity is investigated. Unlike previous studies, a sealed fluid tank is used in a closed flow loop to allow conditioning the two-phase mixture to create foamy-oil. Furtherm...

Well-performing control loops have an integral role in efficient and sustainable industrial production. Control performance monitoring (CPM) tools are necessary to establish further process optimization preventive maintenance. Data-driven, model-free approaches studied this research by comparing the of nine CPM methods industrially relevant simulation. The robustness some is considered with var...

Most of real-time scheduling algorithms are open-loop algorithms as the scheduling decisions are based on the worst-case estimates of task parameters. They do not continuously observe the performance of the system and do not dynamically adjust the system parameters t o improve performance. In many cases, it is preferable to base scheduling decisions on average-case workload parameters and be re...

OF THE DISSERTATION Polygonal Iteration Space Partitioning using the Polyhedral Model By Aniket Shivam Master of Science in Computer Science University of California, Irvine, 2016 Professor Alexander V. Veidenbaum, Chair Loop-nests in most scientific applications perform repetitive operations on array(s) and account for most of the program execution time. Traditional loop transformations, such ...
