This is the second part of a two-part paper developing and validating a structural model to describe the high rate anaerobic digestion of complex wastewater. A full-scale, two-stage hybrid up ̄ow anaerobic reactor treating pig slaughterhouse e‚uent is assessed. Parameters and hydraulics are proposed for this system and validated. Characterisation of the system indicated that in̄uent was a combina...

This paper develops a continuous-time model and controller for the drivetrain dynamics and hydraulics governing the ratio dynamics of a metal V-belt continuously variable transmission (CVT). In developing the drivetrain dynamics, the separate notions of geometric ratio and speed ratio and their relation to each other through the output power efficiency of the CVT are introduced. A data driven m...

Simulation codes allow one to reduce the high conservativism in nuclear reactor design improving reliability and sustainability associated with power. Full-core coupled physics at rod level are not provided by most simulation codes. This has led UK development of a multiscale multiphysics software focused on LWRS. In terms thermal hydraulics, suitable for this include subchannel code CTF hydrau...

Current models of leaf hydration employ an Ohm's law analogy of the leaf as an ideal capacitor, neglecting the resistance to flow between cells, or treat the leaf as a plane sheet with a source of water at fixed potential filling the mid-plane, neglecting the discrete placement of veins as well as their resistance. We develop a model of leaf hydration that considers the average conductance of t...
