In this research mass transfer coefficient under jetting regime in different directions (from dispersed to continuous and continuous to dispersed phase) has been studied using an experimental setup. n-Butanol-succinic acid-water with low interfacial tension has been selected as experimental chemical system. The effects of various parameters such as jet velocity, nozzle diameter and the heig...

Petroleum (crude oil) is one of the most important resources of energy and its demand and consumption is growing while it is a non-renewable energy resource. Hence forecasting of its demand is necessary to plan appropriate strategies for managing future requirements. In this paper, three types of time series methods including univariate Seasonal ARIMA, Winters forecasting and Transfer Function-...

This paper addresses the problem of “H∞ almost synchronization” for networks of identical, linear agents under directed communication topologies. Agents are presumed to be non-introspective; i.e. agents are not aware of their own state or output, and every agent is only provided with a linear combination of its own output relative to that of the neighbors. Providing the solvability conditions, ...

Understanding and simplified modeling of the Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) holds the key to many applications in spatial audio. We develop an analytical solution to the problem of scattering of sound from a sphere in the vicinity of an infinite plane. Using this solution we study the influence of a nearby scattering rigid surface, on a spherical model for the HRTF.

This paper addresses the problem of “H∞ almost synchronization” for homogeneous networks of general linear agents subject to external disturbances and under directional communication links. Agents are presumed to be non-introspective; i.e. agents are not aware of their own states or outputs, and the only available information for each agent is a network measurement that is a linear combination ...

In this paper, synchronization for multi-agent systems subject to external disturbances is studied, and the notion of “H∞ almost synchronization” is introduced. The objective is to suppress the impact of disturbances on the synchronization error dynamics in terms of the H∞ norm of the corresponding closed-loop transfer function to any arbitrarily value. We focus on networks of non-identical lin...

Precomputed radiance transfer methods compute a global light transport model the transfer function to enable real-time rendering of scenes under dynamic distant illumination for arbitrary viewpoints. Usually this transfer function is represented for directions and surface points that are defined a priori. In this paper, we present a precomputed radiance transfer technique, which adaptively choo...
