A MIXED INTEGER LINEAR PROGRAMMING-BASED TECHNIQUE FOR THE ESTIMATION OF MULTIPLE GROSS ERRORS IN PROCESS MEASUREMENTS

This paper presents a new strategy for detecting, identifying, and estimating gross errors (measurement biases and leaks) in linear steady state processes. The MILP-based gross error detection and identification model is constructed aiming at identifying the minimum number of gross errors and their sizes. One significant advantage of the method is that the detection, identification, and estimation of gross errors can be performed simultaneously without using any test statistics.

OPTIMIZATION AND NEURAL MODELLING OF PULSE COMBUSTORS FOR DRYING APPLICATIONS

ABSTRACT

Results of investigations of a valved pulse combustor to choose optimal geometry, which covered measurements of the flow rates of air and fuel, pressure oscillations, including pressure amplitude and frequency and flue gas composition are presented in the paper. Experimental studies compsiring the operation of the pulse combustor coupled with a drying chamber and working separately are described. It was found that coupling of the pulse combustor with a drying chamber had no significant effect on the pulse combustion process. Smoother runs of pressure oscillations in the combustion chamber, lower noise level and slightly higher NO_x emission were observed. The velocity flow field inside the drying chamber was measured by LDA technique. Results confirmed a complex character of pulsating flow in the chamber. A large experimental data set obtained from measurements enabled developing a neural model of pulse combustion process. Artificial neural networks were trained to predict amplitudes and frequencies of pressure oscillations, temperatures in the combustion chamber and emission of toxic substances. An excellent mapping performance of the developed neural models was obtained. Due to complex character of the pulse combustion process, the application of artificial neural networks seems to be the best way to predict inlet parameters of a drying agent produced by the pulse combustor

COMPARISON AND VALIDATION OF OHM AND SCEM MEASUREMENTS FOR A FULL-SCALE COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT

Mercury emission measurements were performed at a 250 MW coal-fired power plant using the Ontario Hydro method (OHM) and semi-continuous emission monitors (SCEM). Flue gas sampling was performed at the inlet of the air preheater and at the outlet of the electrostatic precipitator. The results indicated that there is some agreement between the OHM and SCEM measurements on the total mercury species. However, the SCEM results were not always in good agreement with the OHM measurements on the elemental mercury species. These discrepancies in elemental mercury concentrations are probably the result of the differences in the location of the SCEM and OHM probes, the temperature difference between the SCEM sampling probe and the flue gas, and the nonuniformities in mercury concentration over the flue gas duct cross section. The other factor that contributed to the deviation between the SCEM and OHM measurement results is the sampling method: the SCEM measurements were performed at a single point while the OHM probe was traversed over multiple points over the duct cross section and the results were averaged. The effect of the SCEM sampling probe temperature was investigated by designing a sampling probe that could be heated to the sampled flue gas temperatures. This resulted in improvements in the accuracy of the elemental mercury measurements by the SCEM system.

Effect of steel microfibers on corrosion of steel reinforcing bars

Steel microfiber reinforcement was previously found to be successful in mitigating alkali silica reaction in concrete, an expansive phenomenon. The use of steel microfibers to mitigate rebar corrosion, another expansive reaction, was investigated. Mortar specimens with and without steel microfiber reinforcement were exposed to a corrosive environment. All specimens were prepared with water/cement ratios of both 0.40 and 0.55, cured for 28 days, and then submerged in aerated 3.5% NaCl solution. The corrosion behavior of the specimens was monitored via electrochemical measurements. Three types of electrochemical tests were performed: corrosion potential measurements, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Chloride concentration measurements and microscopic analysis were performed as well. The polarization curves, Tafel, and polarization resistance measurements indicate that the steel rebar in the microfiber-reinforced mortars are more resistant to corrosion than the rebar in the control mortars, despite higher chloride concentrations. Furthermore, the steel microfiber-reinforced cement based materials have a lower electrolytic resistance. This is not indicative of a higher corrosion rate, which would be the case if it had been observed in standard mortar specimens.     

Acidity of heteropoly compounds from XPS measurements

Modelling of through-hole electrodeposition Part II: Experimental study

Current distribution measurements in through-hole electrodeposition were made on sectioned copper electrodes in a cylindrical flow channel. Two copper plating solutions with the same copper sulfate concentration but with different sulfuric acid concentrations were used. Experiments were conducted potentiostatically and under steady-state conditions. Results were compared with those from the theoretical model.     

Surface temperature measurements on burning materials using an infrared pyrometer: accounting for emissivity and reflection of external radiation

This paper demonstrates the successful use of an infrared pyrometer, operating in the 8–10 µm wavelength band, to measure the surface temperature of combustible specimens in a heat release calorimeter. The temperature histories of ten different materials were measured in the ICAL (intermediate scale calorimeter). The set of materials comprised four wood products, gypsum board, polyisocyanurate foam, PVC floor tile, PMMA and two non‐combustible boards. A small‐diameter bare thermocouple was installed on each specimen in order to determine an accurate temperature for comparison. The spectral emissivity and the spectral flux reflected from the surface were measured simultaneously and used to correct the apparent temperature measured by the pyrometer. The spectral emissivity and reflected spectral flux were both constant prior to ignition for all the combustible materials. During the burning phase all the combustible materials had a spectral emissivity very close to unity. The agreement between the temperatures measured with the pyrometer and thermocouple was not affected by the flame. The wood products, the polyisocyanurate foam and the calcium silicate board required no correction for reflected spectral flux over the whole temperature range.

Measurement of gas and liquid flows in stirred tank reactors with multiple agitators

The gas flow in a 3:1 aspect ratio vessel agitated by triple Rushton turbines has been measured by an ultrasound Doppler probe and by means of residence time studies. Strong recirculation around each impeller is found which fits in well with the compartmentalisation found in earlier liquid mixing studies. Surprisingly, when two axial A315 impellers above a Rushton turbine were used, gas recirculation around each impeller was still found. Study of the liquid phase mixing by a decolourisation technique confirmed that the gas flow essentially destroyed the strong axial liquid flow expected. Indeed, even under unaerated conditions, compartmentalisation was found between each impeller.     

INVESTIGATION OF IGNITION OF THERMOPLASTICS THROUGH THE HOT WIRE IGNITION TEST

The purpose of this study was to investigate the ignition phenomena of selected polymeric materials—Plexiglas® (PMMA), polyethylene, Lexan® (polycarbonate), and nylon using the Hot Wire Ignition Test. Underwriters' Laboratories (UL) prescribe this test for polymeric materials used in enclosures or insulation systems of electrical equipment. The main objective of this study was to identify the effect of specimen thickness on the ignition time. In addition, temperature changes at the surface of selected polymeric materials during the different phases of the ignition process were also investigated.

The apparatus used for this test was specified by ASTM D 3874–90a—Standard Test Method for Ignition of Materials by Hot Wire Sources. It consisted of a supply circuit capable of maintaining a continuous 60-Hz power density of 0.26 W/mm over 12 in. (304.8 mm) of No. 24 AWG, Nichrome V wire and a variable transformer for adjustment of the voltage to achieve the desired current.

Temperature measurements were also performed using a Cole-Parmer Digi Source® 12-channel scanning thermometer and 30 AWG chromel–alumel (type K) thermocouples.

A linear relationship between time to ignition and thickness was verified for the four polymers of thicknesses 1/16 in., 1/8 in., 3/16 in., and 1/4 in. The different polymers evaluated in terms of ease of ignition from most ignitable to least ignitable were in the order: Plexiglas, polyethylene, Lexan, and nylon. From the temperature measurements performed in tests with Plexiglas, it appears that the major factor affecting the time to ignition is the rate of temperature rise during the decomposition process. One important recommendation is that temperature measurements similar to those performed with four thicknesses of Plexiglas should be performed with Lexan (polycarbonate), nylon, and polyethylene. These data would confirm the principal role played by the rate of temperature rise during the decomposition process on the time to ignition of thermoplastic materials.     

Structural,dielectric and magnetic properties of (ZnFe2O4/Polystyrene) nanocomposites synthesized by micro-emuslion technique

This work aims to study the effect of polymer on the structure, magnetic and dielectric properties of spinel ferrite composite. Nanocomposites based on polystyrene (PST)/ZnFe₂O₄ were synthesized by using the micro-emulsion method. The novel composites with PST to ZnFe₂O₄ ratios (4:0, 4:1, 4:2, 4:3, 4:4, 0:4) were analyzed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) which confirms the spinel structure of ZnFe₂O₄ with an average crystallite size of 15.3 nm for pure ZnFe₂O₄ and decreases by increasing the polystyrene concentration. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) gave the optimized results of surface morphology and the crystallite size which are in accordance with XRD data. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra show two main broad metal–oxygen bands corresponding to the intrinsic stretching vibrations of the metal at the tetrahedral site (observed between 837.9 and 1034.3 cm⁻¹) and traces of organic materials were observed at 1499.2 and 1766.4 cm⁻¹, which are associated with CO and CC stretching vibration respectively. O–H stretch of COOH weak acid of the carboxyl group was found at 2978.7 cm^-1. The composite with equal ZnFe₂O₄ to PST ratio (4:4) shows that real part of dielectric constant is independent of frequency at lower frequencies of an applied electric field. The resonance type behaviour was observed at higher frequency (2.5 GHz) which shows the material is excellent for dispersion of electric part of microwaves. The magnetization for pure ferrite (ZnFe₂O₄) at 15000 Oe was found to be 1.49 emu/g which decreases to 0.54 emu/g for the composite with the equal ferrite to polystyrene ratio. Based on their dielectric and magnetic characterization, these composites are considered suitable candidates to employ as microwave absorbing materials.
