this is the first attempt at process modeling in terms of predictive control using a hierachical method based on regression analysis and artificial neural networks (anns). this hierachical method leads to the reliability improvement of neural model of the process in predicting (extrapolation and interpolation) the process output. such an outlook makes it possible to predict the proper input set...

CONCURRENT EVAPORATING SPRAY JETS IN DILUTE GAS-SOLIDS PIPE FLOWS by Xiaohua Wang Evaporating spray jets into gas-solids suspensions are encountered in many industrial applications. The rapid evaporation of spray jets has significant effects on the gas-solids mixing near the jet nozzle regions, including non-uniform solids concentration dilution, gas/solids temperature reduction, and gas/solids...

A volume sculpting system is presented. The system provides tools for interactive editing of a voxel raster that is stored in an octree data structure. Two different modes of sculpting are supported: Sculpting by adding and subtracting solids, and sculpting with tools that are based on a spray can metaphor. The possibility of extending the method to support multiresolution sculpting is discusse...

The objective of this study is to introduce an integrated simulation AHP model for modeling, assessment and improvement of a machine mix problem with complex queue priorities and service times. Furthermore, there is no closed form expression for such situations, as previous studies show no mathematical models for machine mix with integrated service and queue priorities. The production lines of ...
