Macro-modeling of a Hydrogen Solid Storage Cylindrical Tank

Adaptive Control of a Non-Cylindrical Tank

A conical tank in which the diameter changes with the tank height, allows the use of feedback control used in complex nonlinear systems, such as adaptive control. This project modified an existing system of two interacting tanks by inserting a removable solid cone into one of the tanks. This modification created two new nonlinear configurations, one of which had a discontinuity. Optimal control...

Storage Tank Design

A calculus problem arising in the operation of a storage tank for a chemical processing plant is described. Constructing an appropriate gauge for the storage tank requires computing the volume of water residing inside a tilted cylindrical pipe. The following calculus problem arose in the engineering design of a storage tank facility, and is possibly more interesting and challenging for students...

Modeling of hydrogen/deuterium dynamics and heat generation on palladium nanoparticles for hydrogen storage and solid-state nuclear fusion

We modeled the dynamics of hydrogen and deuterium adsorbed on palladium nanoparticles including the heat generation induced by the chemical adsorption and desorption, as well as palladium-catalyzed reactions. Our calculations based on the proposed model reproduce the experimental time-evolution of pressure and temperature with a single set of fitting parameters for hydrogen and deuterium inject...

Azimuthal solitary surface wave in cylindrical tank.

This Brief Report is devoted to the study of the solitary surface wave rotating in the azimuthal direction, arising during water drainage from a cylindrical reservoir, when shallow flow conditions are reached. The linear dependence between the wave speed and its amplitude is shown to be similar to that expected from the classical Korteweg-de Vries equation.
