evaporation is a fundamental parameter in the hydrological cycle. this study examines the performance of m5model tree and artificial neural network (ann) models in estimating potential evapotranspiration calculated bypenman- monteith and hargreaves- samani equations. daily weather data from two meteorological stations in asemi-arid climate of iran, namely kerman and zahedan, were collected duri...

volume estimation of most agricultural products using mathematical methods is not accurate because of their irregular shape. an alternative method is image processing, which can be used in continuous sorting machines. the objective of this study is to find a practical method for volume estimation of potatoes using image processing. fifty potatoes (marfona variety) were selected as experimental ...

dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   mixed-integer non-linear programming,   production planning, manufacturing attributes   this paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (dcms) based on production planning (pp) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. such an integrated dcms model with an extensive c...

this paper works on the concept of flatness and its practical application for the design of an optimal transient controller in a synchronous machine. the feedback linearization scheme of interest requires the generation of a flat output from which the feedback control law can easily be designed. thus the computation of the flat output for reduced order model of the synchronous machine with simp...

In this Paper, complete models of three and six phase self commutated synchronous machine drives are presented, considering the effects of both time and space harmonics. First, the equations for calculation of machine inductances are developed. Next, "thyristor-inverter-electric machine" set is modeled in order to derive all the equations for conduction and commutation states. Finally, the resu...

In this paper, using a personal computer (PC), the practical implementation of scalar and vector control methods on a three–phase rotor surface- type permanent magnet synchronous machine drive is discussed. Based on the machine dynamic equations and the above control strategies, two block diagrams are presented first for closed-loop speed controlling of the machine drive/system. Then, the desig...

in this work, several machine learning techniques are presented for nanofiltration modeling. according to the results, specific errors are defined. the rejection due to nanofiltration increases with pressure but decreases with increasing the concentration of chloride ion. methods of machine learning represent the rejection of nanofiltration as a function of concentration, ph, pressure and also ...
