The Institute for Clean Energy Technology (ICET) at Mississippi State University has developed a test stand capable of lifecycle testing of high efficiency particulate air filters and other filters specified in American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment (AG-1) filters. The test stand is currently equipped to test AG-1 Section FK radial flow filters, and expan...

The frequency-response masking approach for highspeed recursive infinite-impulse response (IIR) digital filters is introduced. In this approach, the overall filter consists of a periodic model filter, its power-complementary periodic filter, and two masking filters. The model filters are composed of two all-pass filters in parallel, whereas the masking filters are linear-phase finite-impulse re...

Exhaust noise in engines has always been a major source of automotive noise. Challenges for muffler design have been constraints on size, back pressure, and, of course, the cost. Designing for sufficient insertion loss at the engine firing frequency and the first few harmonics has been the biggest challenge. Most advances in the design of efficient mufflers have resulted from linear plane wave ...

Results of continuous nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) and total reactive nitrogen (NOy) measurements along with seasonal field campaigns of nitric acid (HNO3) and particulate nitrate (NO−3 ) measurements are presented for a two-year period at the high-alpine research station Jungfraujoch (JFJ), 3580 m asl. The NOy mixing ratio and partitioning is shown to...

one of the principles for designing and using the various units of water treatment plants is ability of assigning and predicting performance of those units in different and various conditions that could be checked by making pilot and could be modeled by means of available programs and software such as artificial neural network. at this study a model provided for predict performance of pressure ...

Flue gas conditioning (FGC) systems offer an effective option for control of Particulate Matter (PM) emissions and enhances the performance of the Electrostatic Precipitators (EPs) when using coal of different properties. The increasing environmental awareness and the mandate of the Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA) in various countries to thermal power stations using coal-fired boilers f...

At present, the filter theory of $BL$textit{-}algebras has been widelystudied, and some important results have been published (see for examplecite{4}, cite{5}, cite{xi}, cite{6}, cite{7}). In other works such ascite{BP}, cite{vii}, cite{xiii}, cite{xvi} a study of a filter theory inthe more general setting of residuated lattices is done, generalizing thatfor $BL$textit{-}algebras. Note that fil...

at 4°C. The precipitate was trapped on GF/A filters and putrescine incorporation was measured by liquid scintillation counting. Rat muscle TG was eluted from a DEAE-Sephacel column ( 13 mm X 1 10 mm) with a gradient of 0-0.5 M-NaCI in 40 ml of buffer A. Bovine liver cytosolic TG and human plasma factor XIIIA were eluted as standards. Stepwise extraction of TG resulted in the solubilization of m...

The contribution of emissions from agricultural facilities is rapidly becoming a major concern for local and regional air quality. Characterization of particle properties such as physical size distribution and chemical composition can be valuable in understanding the processes contributing to emissions and ultimate fate of particulate matter from agricultural facilities. A measurement campaign ...
