In this paper, the modelling and control of the moisture content of the particles in a batch Fluidised bed dryer are studied. First, a lumped mechanistic model is developed to describe the heat and mass transfer between solid, gas and bubble phases and experimental validation shows that the model can be used to predict the particle moisture content and temperature profiles during the drying pro...

This paper describes three lumped parameters models for the study of the dynamic behavior of a boom crane. The models here proposed allows to evaluate the fluctuations of the load arising from the rope and structure elasticity and from the type of the motion command imposed by the winch. A calculation software was developed in order to determine the actual acceleration of the lifted mass and th...

The dynamic modes related to mass and energy of a high-temperature proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell are investigated. For a particular configuration, three lumped-parameters dynamic equations are considered to represent hydrogen pressure in the anode, oxygen fraction in the cathode, and stack temperature. For each of these, a simple controller algorithm is developed. These algorithms are test...

We consider the initial boundary value problem for the homogeneous time-fractional diffusion equation ∂ t u − ∆u = 0 (0 < α < 1) with initial condition u(x, 0) = v(x) and a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition in a bounded polygonal domain Ω. We shall study two semidiscrete approximation schemes, i.e., Galerkin FEM and lumped mass Galerkin FEM, by using piecewise linear functions. We establ...

In this study, the part dynamics of the midwater trawl were modeled and simulated using mechanical equations and R language. A lumped mass method was used to model the dynamical behavior of a net in steady flow. And the implicit algorithm was developed to solve the stiff differential equations. The programming, simulation and visualization of the modeling were based on the R platform. The part ...

In this paper, the existing lumped circuit model for Through-Silicon-Via (TSV) structure embedded in Lightly-doped silicon substrate is reviewed and improved. A new lumped circuit model for TSV structure in heavily-doped silicon substrate is proposed. The underlying physics associated with the proposed lumped elements in the circuit topology is discussed and their values are found by data fitti...

An analysis of rectangular folded-waveguide slow-wave structure was developed using conformal mapping technique through Schwarz’s polygon transformation and closed form expressions for the lumped capacitance and inductance per period of the slow-wave structure were derived in terms of the physical dimensions of the structure, incorporating the effects of the beam hole in the lumped parameters. ...

Abstract This paper establishes the computational fluid dynamics models of marine submersible buoy system. The use incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, Renormalization-Group (RNG) turbulence model and fractional areas/volume obstacle representation method. Using lumped mass mothed to simulate anchor line power supply cable. result show that great tension forces increase occurs at moment when...

We give a counterexample of an anisotropic triangulation on which the exact solution has a second-order error of linear interpolation, while the computed solution obtained using linear finite elements is only first-order pointwise accurate. Our example is given in the context of a singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation, whose exact solution exhibits a sharp boundary layer. Furthermore...
