The main greenhouse gases (GHGs) producer is represented by the fossil burning systems. The paper presents the effect on the GHGs emission combined with the economic effects of a new pumping system method of automatic mixing of hot and cold water circulated with variable speed driving pumps and adjustable vanes. Considering the potential economic and environmental effects combined with the soci...

A graph on 2n vertices can be Skolem-labeled if the vertices can be given labels from {1, . . . , n} such that each label i is assigned to exactly two vertices and these vertices are at distance i. Mendelsohn and Shalaby have characterized the Skolem-labeled paths, cycles and windmills (of fixed vane length). In this paper, we obtain necessary conditions for the Skolem-labeling of generalized k...

In this brief, constrained multi variable model predictive control (MPC) strategy is investigated for a GE9001E gas turbine power plant. So the rotor speed and exhaust gas temperature are controlled manipulating the fuel command and compressor inlet guide vanes position. A nonlinear model is introduced using conventional mathematical models and ARX identification procedure as gas turbine plant ...

OBJECTIVE To determine optimal scissor blade design and surgical approach to facilitate obtaining a long optic nerve segment during enucleation procedures. METHODS Two hundred mock enucleations were performed with the use of a human child skull model and a silicone sphere to simulate an eye. Temporal and nasal approaches with scissor blades with noncurved, mildly curved, or strongly curved bl...

This paper presents a new approach to computing 1=r singularities on curved panels. By using carefully chosen mapping techniques, a curved panel with curved edges is mapped to a at panel with straight edges. Analytical formulas for at panel integrals are then used to give approximate curved panel integration solution. For those curved panels with reasonably large curvatures and smooth edges, th...

Guide vanes are a mechanical system used to direct flow in the desired direction. At lower operating conditions, implementing guide vane draft tube of hydro-turbine can decrease excess swirl and, thus, reduce pressure fluctuations. The present study discusses numerical methodology design an effective high head Francis model turbine. method is computationally efficient and saves computational ti...

Abstract Improvement of the operating range compressors will help power and energy plant to work more flexibly integrate with other generation systems. The stall, rotating resulting surge are most dominant limiting phenomenon in axial compressor envelop. Several active passive methods have been employed eliminate occurring these phenomena extend compressors’ stable range. Among these, casing tr...

soil slopes are sometimes curved in plan rather than being straight. this curvature,especially when it is convex, decreases the bearing capacity of the slope. finite element methodhas been used here in this research to investigate the reducing effect of curvature on bearingcapacity of a slope. failure of soil has been assumed to be according to mohr-coulomb criteria;but the flow rule of the soi...
