In order to obtain more accurate predicted dynamic steady-state performance with shorter computation time, an available mathematical model is modified and presented. Using this modified model, performance of a typical switched reluctance motor (SRM) under a wide range of variations of operating conditions is obtained and discussed. These include variations of speed, voltage, load and switching ...

Mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) are attracting significant interest for pervaporation and gas separation applications. To better comprehend the impact of filler particles within polymer matrices, the species permeation mass transport was theoretically studied by numerical simulation using finite differences. The Fick’s second law of diffusion was solved for a three-dimensional MMM to obtain the c...

Steady state fluorescence experiments with mixtures of HD and H2 or D2 have given effective cross sections for energy exchange processes in collisions of electronically excited HD and ground state H2 and D2 molecules in well defined quantum states. The experimental results are compared with first order calculations using the Sharma-Brau theory of energy transfer due to the interaction of transi...

The human body is composed of two broad compartments: (i) active tissue mass (lean body mass or fatfree mass) and (ii) the fat mass which is the principal store of energy in the body. In steady state, an individual will maintain his body weight when the input of food energy is equal to the output of energy. Under these conditions, any change in body weight indicates a change in energy balance a...

A model is outlined for the major biochemical respiratory mechanisms of a conceptualised heterotrophic facultative organism (representing the heterotrophic facultative mass of activated sludge) subjected to four different sets of conditions: steady-state aerobic, steady-state anoxic, steady-state aerobic changed to anoxic, and steady-state anoxic/anaerobic changed to aerobic. Proposals and impl...

Several analytic models describe the steady-state throughput of bulk transfer TCP flows as a function of round trip time and packet loss rate. These models describe flows based on the assumption that they are long enough to sustain many packet losses. However, most TCP transfers across today’s Internet are short enough to see few, if any, losses and consequently their performance is dominated b...

nucleate pool boiling heat transfer coefficient have been experimentally measured on a horizontal rod heater for various liquid binary mixtures. measurements are based on more than three hundred data points on a wide range of concentrations and heat fluxes. in this investigation, it has been confirmed that the heat transfer coefficient in boiling solutions are regularly less than those in pure ...

this paper describes the theoretical and experimental investigations of the key components and also the performance analysis of a rotary wheel for using as a solid desiccant dehumidifier and also indirect evaporator cooling system. solid desiccants have long been used in dehumidification and cooling systems for energy efficiency or reduce electricity. although many mathematical models on the ro...

We study the amplification of information transfer in excitable systems. We show that excitable systems residing in a steady state near a bifurcation point to complex oscillatory behavior incorporate several frequencies that can be exploited for a resonant amplification of information transfer. In particular, for excitable neurons that reside in a steady state near a bifurcation point to ellipt...

A molecular square with dimensions of about 4 nm, incorporating sixteen pyrene chromophores attached to four ditopic bay-functionalized perylene bisimide chromophores, has been synthesized by coordination to four Pt(II) phosphine corner units and fully characterized via NMR spectroscopy and ESI-FTICR mass spectrometry. Steady-state and time-resolved emission as well as femtosecond transient abs...
