This paper presents a methodology for design of instrumentation sensor networks in non-linear chemical plants. The method utilizes a robust extended Kalman filter approach to provide an efficient dynamic data reconciliation. A weighted objective function has been introduced to enable the designer to incorporate each individual process variable with its own operational importance. To enhance...

Rapid development of engineering activities expands through a variety of rock engineering processes such as drilling, blasting, mining and mineral processing. These activities require rock dynamic fracture mechanics method to characterize the rock behavior. Dynamic fracture toughness is an important parameter for the analysis of engineering structures under dynamic loading. Several experimental...

An alternative approach towards dynamic programming (DP) is presented: Recursions. A basic deterministic model and solution function are defined and the model is generalized to include stochastic processes, with the traditional stochastic DP model as a special case. Heuristic rules are included in the models simply as restrictions on decision spaces and a small slaughter pig marketing planning ...

Dynamic Bayesian networks (DBNs) are a powerful and exible methodology for representing and computing with probabilistic models of stochastic processes. In the past decade, there has been increasing interest in applying them to practical problems, and this thesis shows that they can be used eeectively in the eld of automatic speech recognition. A principle characteristic of dynamic Bayesian net...

in this study, liquid-liquid extraction process in a kuhni extraction column was modeled and simulated. a non-equilibrium dynamic model was developed for modeling liquid-liquid extraction processes based on a rate-based model. the model equations are inclusive of partial and ordinary differential equations which were discretized in column height direction. the population balance model was used ...
