Multi-phase transmission systems is considered potential alternative to conventional three-phase systems for bulk power transmission. Recent survey shows that the integration of flexible A.C. transmission system devices into conventional three-phase transmission system for enhancement and control of power flow is well established. This paper attempts to study: a FACTS device i.e. thyristor cont...

Flow visualization of two phase flow pattern of steam during condensation process in separate horizontal quartz micro-tubes with inner diameter ranging from 70-675 m was conducted. Two main kinds of flow patterns were observed: annular flow and slug flow, which both were nearly symmetrical. The annular flow also can be divided into two kinds: annular flow and annular-wave flow. The effects of t...

In this paper, a framework utilizing constructs from category theory for compositional specification of dependable distributed protocols has been proposed. The paper shows how by defining external interfaces of basic modules, and functional mappings linking two different modules, a larger or more complex protocol can be composed and verified. To illustrate the proposed approach, the composition...

a numerical model for two-phase debris flows is developed in this paper, on the basis of understanding of the physical characteristics of debris flows from field investigations and experiments. employing a moving coordinate, the kinetic energy equation of gravel particles in unit volume in debris flow is developed by considering the potential energy of the particles, energy from the liquid phas...

short-term traffic flow forecasting plays a significant role in the intelligent transportation systems (its), especially for the traffic signal control and the transportation planning research. two mainly problems restrict the forecasting of urban freeway traffic parameters. one is the freeway traffic changes non-regularly under the heterogeneous traffic conditions, and the other is the success...

n this work, computational fluid dynamics of the flow behavior in a cold flow of fluidized bed is studied. An improved finite volume based finite element method has been introduced to solve the two-phase gas/solid flow hydrodynamic equations. This method uses a collocated grid, where all variables are located at the nodal points. The fluid dynamic model for gas/solid two-phase flow is based on ...
