A debutanizer column is an integral part of any petroleum refinery. Online composition monitoring of debutanizer column outlet streams is highly desirable in order to maximize the production of liquefied petroleum gas. In this article, data-driven models for debutanizer column are developed for real-time composition monitoring. The dataset used has seven process variables as inputs and the outp...

Abstract. In this paper, a Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with second order slip boundary conditions is developed to study gas flows in a microchannel in the slip and transition flow regimes with a wide range of Knudsen numbers. For the first time the effect of wall confinement is considered on the effective mean free path of the gas molecules using a function with nonconstant Bosanquet para...

This paper presents a robust fractional order controller for flexible-joint electrically driven robots under imperfect transformation of control space. The proposed approach is free from manipulator dynamics, thus free from problems associated with torque control strategy in the design and implementation. As a result, the proposed controller is simple, fast response and superior to the torque c...

In this paper, we present a stochastic optimal control model to optimize an insurance firm problem in the case where its cash-balance process is assumed be described by differential equation driven Teugels martingales. Noticing that able dynamics regulating underlying premium rate, aim of policy maker select appropriate order minimize total deviation state some pre-set target level. As part max...

This article analyzes a strongly nonlinear oscillator with cubic and harmonic restoring force and proposes an efficient analytical technique based on the modified energy balance method (MEBM). The proposed method incorporates higher-order approximations. After applying the proposed MEBM, a set of complicated higher-order nonlinear algebraic equations are obtained. Higher-order nonlinear algebra...
