The aim of the current study is to determine impacts leachate recirculation on degradation three compositions municipal solid waste in anaerobic bioreactors. was completed by using six columns with equal volume (0.042m3) containing different densities and waste, order follow over a limited time. Three were studied: simulated fresh standard composition, fermentable actual aged waste. Measurement...

A model for heat-recirculating micro combustor is developed. It investigates the structure of laminar, one-dimensional and steady state flame propagation in uniformly premixed wood particles with considering the effects of heat recirculation caused by configuration of micro combustor. The flame structure is divided into three regions: a preheat-devolatilization zone where the rate of the gas-ph...

Three kinds of fractal solutions of model of chemical reactors are presented. The first kind concerns the structure of Feigenbaum_s diagram on the limit of chaos. The second kind and the third one concern the effect of initial conditions on the dynamic solutions of models. In the course of computations two types of recirculation were considered, viz. the recirculation of mass (return of a part ...

Volumetric combustion has been developed to realize a high substitution ratio of biomass in co-firing boilers, which features an intensive flue gas internal recirculation inside furnace. However, the characteristics of NOx and SOx emissions in large-scale boilers with volumetric combustion were not fully clear. In this paper, an Aspen Plus model of volumetric combustion system was built up base...

Accuracy and mesh generation are key issues for the high-resolution hydrodynamic modelling of the whole Great Barrier Reef. Our objective is to generate suitable unstructured grids that can resolve topological and dynamical features like tidal jets and recirculation eddies in the wake of islands. A new strategy is suggested to refine the mesh in areas of interest taking into account the bathyme...

This study investigated perchlorate reduction by sulfur utilizing perchlorate reducing bacteria (SUPeRB). SUPeRB cultures were enriched from a denitrifying wastewater inoculum in medium containing elemental sulfur (S), crushed oyster shell, nutrients and perchlorate. Perchlorate was reduced from 5 to < 0.5 mg/L in approximately 15 days. The enrichment culture was subsequently inoculated into a ...

Based on data from routine intravenous Xe133-rCBF studies in 50 patients, using Obrist's algorithm the effect of counting rate statistics and amount of recirculating activity on reproducibility of results was investigated at five simulated counting rate levels. Dependence of the standard deviation of compartmental and noncompartmental flow parameters on recirculation and counting rate was deter...

h = 9000. The discretisation is performed using a spanwise periodic spectral/hp element method. The inlet flow has turbulent velocity and pressure fields that are formed by a regenerating channel segment upstream of the inlet. Time and spanwise averages show secondary and tertiary corner eddies in addition to the primary recirculation bubble, while streamlines show a small eddy forming at the d...

We describe a new learning procedure for networks that contain groups of nonlinear units arranged in a closed loop. The aim of the learning is to discover codes that allow the activity vectors in a "visible" group to be represented by activity vectors in a "hidden" group. One way to test whether a code is an accurate representation is to try to reconstruct the visible vector from the hidden vec...
