The aim of this study is to develop a model for proprietary SO2 removal technology by using machine learning techniques and, more specifically, exploiting the potentialities artificial neural networks (ANNs). This employed at Eni oil and gas treatment plant in southern Italy. amine circulating unit, that allows reduction concentration flue gases be compliant with required specifications, solven...

We explore the potential of the nonlinear amplifying loop mirror (NALM)-based phase-preserving 2R (reamplification and reshaping) regenerator for simultaneous regeneration of multiple wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) channels. While not considering nonlinear multi-channel propagation, we address two issues of the phase-preserving NALM that appear to us as the major obstacles in adopting it...

In optical networks regenerators have to be placed on lightpaths every d nodes in order to regenerate the signal. In addition, grooming enables the use of the same regenerator by several lightpaths. Up to g (the grooming factor) lightpaths can use the same regenerator. In this work we consider the problem of minimizing the number of regenerators used in traffic grooming in optical networks. Sta...

Dynamic Online Routing Algorithm (DORA) has been already proposed for conventional networks to distribute load evenly across the network. However, the exponential growth of the internet has placed heavy burdens on network management and control application when the existing protocols are used. Adding more resources to the network may temporarily remove congestion conditions. However, it is not ...

We develop a first-principles model of the regenerator component of a generic Stirling engine. The model is based on the Euler equations of one dimensional gas dynamics coupled with its convective/conductive heat transfer with the embedded mesh material. We investigate various methods for deriving simpler and low order control-oriented models from this first principles model. The basic criterio...

Optimization of the open absorption desiccant cooling system has been carried out in the present work. A finite difference method is used to simulate the combined heat and mass transfer processes that occur in the liquid desiccant regenerator which uses calcium chloride (CaCl2) solution as the working desiccant. The source of input heat is assumed to be the total radiation incident on a tilted ...

The iron and steel industry is a high-energy consumption high-pollution industry. Energy recovery in its process of great significance. Converter gas an important by-product the production. It difficult to take effective measures recover waste heat from converter due flammability. In this paper, new technology proposed based on by filled bulb regenerator. mathematical model transfer flow compou...
