The mathematical formulation for targeting during energy allocation with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is formally developed. For operating-cost optimization with zero excess, it is shown that CCS sources may be regarded as resources with their cost taken as the increment over the non-CCS option. CCS sources along with clean-carbon resources may then be targeted by profile matching with the limiting composite to establish optimal primary cases. The limiting composite curve is itself sacrosanct and obtained by a single computation of the composite table algorithm (CTA) including only non-CCS sources. Carbon emission networks (CENs) are designed by the nearest neighbors algorithm (NNA). A cost criterion is established to determine cost-factor ranges for optimality of the primary cases, and results validated by solving linear programming (LP) and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulations. The methodology essentially comprises four distinct stages – targeting, network design, cost analysis, and optimization – with the first two stages not requiring any cost data. 相似文献
Orientation-dependent developments in misorientation and residual stress, in rolled aluminum, were quantified experimentally and simulated numerically. The latter involved analysis using a crystal plasticity finite element model, accounting for anisotropies in slip system hardening but neglecting near-neighbor interactions, and discrete dislocation dynamics of the single crystals. Both were successful in capturing the experimental patterns of orientation dependence. Numerical simulations, without slip transfer across the neighboring grains, thus established the defining role of dislocation interactions in establishing orientation-sensitive microstructural evolution. 相似文献
An axisymmetric model is developed to study laser drilling process under a single pulse as well as repetitive laser pulse. The laser pulse irradiated on the surface of the workpiece is volumetric and Gaussian in nature. The laser irradiated surface is subjected to convective‐radiative boundary condition while rest of the surfaces are insulated. Finite volume method is used to discretize the domain under consideration. The resulting algebraic equations are solved with the help of the tridiagonal matrix algorithm to find temperature distribution throughout the domain. The enthalpy‐porosity method is used to track the solid‐liquid interface generated during the laser melting process. Convective heat transfer occurs inside the generated melt pool. The current model is first used to validate the results of the existing literature and as the results agreed well, further studies are made to find out the advantages of using repetitive laser pulse over single pulse laser source for laser drilling process for the same laser energy and total heating duration. Vaporization has been avoided during the process and metal removal occurs through melting only. The present numerical model can provide some insight for practical laser drilling process. 相似文献

Face mining is characterized as the revelation of picture designs in a given congregation of pictures. It is an exertion that generally attracts upon information PC (Personal Computer) vision, picture handling, information mining, AI (Artificial Intelligence), database, and human-made reasoning. Facial acknowledgement breaks down and contemplates the examples from the images of the facial. Facial component extraction is a programmed acknowledgment of human faces by recognizing its highlights, for example, eyebrows, eyes, and lips. In this paper, we are assessing the execution of PCA (Priniciple Component Analysis), GMM (Gaussian Mixture Models), GLCM (Gray Level Co-Occurrence Matrix), and SVM (Support Vector Machines) to perceive seven distinctive outward appearances of two people, for example, angry, sad, happy, disgust, neutral, fear, and surprise in database. Our point is to talk about the best systems that work best for facial acknowledgement. The present investigation demonstrates the plausibility of outward appearance acknowledgement for viable applications like surveillance and human PC communication.
The impact of external mass transport on the biodegradation rate of phenol in a packed bed bioreactor (PBBR) was studied. A potential bacterial species, Bacillus flexus GS1 IIT (BHU), was isolated from the petroleum‐contaminated soil. Low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) immobilized with the B. flexus GS1 IIT (BHU) was used as packing material in the PBBR. The PBBR was operated by varying the inlet feed flow rate from 4 to 10 mL/min, and the corresponding degradation rate coefficients were found to be in the range of 0.119–0.157 L/g h. In addition, the highest removal rate of phenol was obtained to be 1.305 mg/g h at an inlet feed rate of 10 mL/min. The external mass transfer was studied using the model . A new empirical correlation for the biodegradation of phenol in the PBBR was developed after the evaluation at various values of K and n. 相似文献
5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is an aminosalicylate anti-inflammatory drug, which is also known as mesalazine or mesalamine. Currently employed in treating inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis, inflamed anus or rectum, and maintain remission in Crohn's disease. Evidence from the researchers highlighted its significant re-epithelization in allergic asthma, aphthous, and gastric ulcerative conditions. The objective of the study was to formulate the pluronic lecithin organogel (PLO) containing 5-ASA and evaluate its wound-healing ability in a full thickness excision wound rat model. The data obtained from in silico docking studies revealed 5-ASA is having an affinity towards the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) specifically towards beta1. Among various formulations prepared (F1 to F8), F1, and F6 have shown a maximum in vitro drug release with optimum pH and viscosity. From MTT assay it was found that selected PLO formulations showed no toxicity and enhanced cell proliferation in HaCaT cell lines. In vivo wound-healing studies in albino Wistar rats has revealed that PLO accelerates wound closure and reepithelization to the statistically significant level on day 3 (p?.05) in comparison with untreated wounds. In conclusion, the overall results suggest that 5-ASA PLO gel is a potential therapeutic option for the treatments of wounds, however, further studies are highly warrened to determine the various mechanisms of 5-ASA in regulating the cell migration and reepithelization in wound healing to outspread its use in clinics. 相似文献
Boron-doped Ge1?xSnx alloys with atomic fractions of tin up to x = 0.08 were grown on n-Ge(001) substrates using solid-source molecular beam epitaxy, in order to study their structural properties. The total boron concentration in the alloys was ~ 1018 cm?3 as measured by secondary-ion mass spectroscopy, which also indicated low amounts of impurities such as carbon and oxygen. More than 90% of the Sn atoms occupied substitutional lattice sites in the alloy as determined by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry. High-resolution x-ray diffraction showed that the boron-doped Ge1?xSnx alloys were single crystals that were completely strained with low defect densities and coherent interfaces for thickness up to 90 nm, and for Sn composition of 8%. The boron-doped Ge1?xSnx/n-Ge formed p–n junctions with conventional rectifying characteristics, indicating that the boron produced electrically active acceptor states. 相似文献
