An accumulator and cycling unit from the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Calculator (ENIAC) are implemented on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The FPGA implementation is not architecturally identical to the original ENIAC, but the original architectural design is maintained where possible. The design maintains decimal number representation, ring counters to increment numbers, and te...

This paper presents a novel concept of active pneumatic suspension which uses an accumulator, airspring, and smart control system to actuate a variable orifice mechanism which connects the airspring to the accumulator. The main objective is to obtain a linear model for this pneumatic suspension so as to use existing advanced linear control methodologies to ascertain the closed loop performance ...

A new architecture of multiplier-and-accumulator (MAC) for high-speed arithmetic. By combining multiplication with accumulation and devising a hybrid type of carry save adder (CSA), the performance was improved. Since the accumulator that has the largest delay in MAC was merged into CSA, the overall performance was elevated. The proposed CSA tree uses 1’scomplement-based radix-2 modified Booth’...

Offshore pipelines used for oil and gas transportation are often buried to avoid damage from fishing activities and to provide thermal insulation. Thermal expansion and contraction of the pipeline during operation can lead to lateral or upheaval buckling. A safe buried pipeline design must take into account a reliable evaluation of soil uplift resistance and pipe embedment depth. While the cost...

The paper presents the investigation of a prototype cold accumulator using water–ice latent heat for storage process. concept was based on 200-L-capacity cylindrical tank in which spherical capsules filled with water were placed. Beds polypropylene diameters 80 mm, 70 and 60 mm used tests. operated water–air pump. Based test results, following parameters calculated: cooling capacity, power, ene...

A secondary battery (accumulator) employing molten metals or metal alloys as active masses at both electrodes and a salt electrolyte in between is called an all-liquid-metal accumulator (LMB). Separation of the liquid based on segregation caused by different densities immiscibility materials characteristic feature. High coulometric storage capabilities molten-metal combined with relatively low ...

The article presents the thermal technical calculation of underground heat accumulator, which is used to prevent a sharp increase in air temperature hothouses on sunny days and accumulate solar energy. coefficient transfer by air-pipe pipe-soil boundary layers between 20-35 °C air-driven accumulator with help ventilator was calculated analytical method. mathematical model change time length dur...

The present sought to draw a comparison between Model Predictive Control performance and two other controllers named Simple PI and Selective PI in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. A nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in SIMULINK® environment of MATLAB®. Control schemes were designed to provide a s...

Submarine pipelines failures lead to oil spills in water and may even lead to explosions with heavy financial and environmental damages. Trawl gear is one of the main factors in the failure of the submarine pipelines. In this paper, sensitivity analysis is performed on influence of height and span length alternations on the response of pipeline against the traction caused by trawling pull-over ...
