Large-scale, complex, and high-risk industrial systems such as nuclear power plants have developed detailed operating procedures. Under the expected conditions, operators operate system according to procedures avoid human error. However, under complex unfamiliar once guidance of is lost, serious consequences may be caused. This paper proposes a No-Procedure guided Operation Supervision Technolo...

Filter operation of a pilot-scale baghouse filter was evaluated under energy and particle emission criteria. Evaluation the required total power for takes into account fan as well consumption pressurized air. face velocity, raw-gas concentration, tank pressure regeneration were varied several cycle time settings to identify minimum power. Cycle times shorter than at are not feasible due increas...

Structural health monitoring is a developing research field which is multifunctional and can estimate the health condition of the structure by data analyzing and also can prognosticate the structural damages. Illuminating the damages by using piezoelectric sensors is one of the most effective techniques in structural health monitoring. Pressurized equipments are very important components in pro...

Abstract Invited for this month's cover is the group of Scott McIndoe at University Victoria (Canada). The picture shows a pressurized reaction vessel with tubing leading out flask. That normally leads directly into an electrospray ionization mass spectrometer, where mass‐to‐charge ratio and relative abundance solution phase ions are measured. These data can be used to generate chronograms each...

Previous work done on reactor kinetics and control in load-following operation modes available open literature is reviewed. The analysis focused on, however not limited to pressurized water reactors. Different approximations of the time-dependent neutron transport problem as well different algorithms are described detail compared. Due lack published information majority comparisons was qualitat...

There is a critical need to improve the performance and utility of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Several areas of UAV performance need to be improved for the next generation of UAVS to be used successfully in expanded future combat roles. For example current time aloft is only on the order of an hour or two for electric-powered UAVs. The current generation of UAVs lacks vertical takeoff and ...

Pressurized operation is advantageous for many electrolysis and electrosynthesis technologies. The effects of pressure have been studied extensively in conventional oxygen-ion conducting solid-oxide electrochemical cells. In constrast, very few studies examined pressurized proton-conducting electroceramics. Protonic ceramics offer high proton conductivity at intermediate temperatures (∼400–600°...

Fuel cell gas turbine hybrid systems have achieved ultra-high efficiency and ultra-low emissions at small scales, but have yet to demonstrate effective dynamic responsiveness or base-load cost savings. Fuel cell systems and hybrid prototypes have not utilized controls to address thermal cycling during load following operation, and have thus been relegated to the less valuable base-load and peak...
