A self‐tuning iterative learning controller for time variant systems

We consider the iterative learning control problem from an adaptive control viewpoint. The self‐tuning iterative learning control systems (STILCS) problem is formulated in a general case, where the underlying linear system is time‐variant and its parameters are all unknown and where its initial conditions are not constant and not determinable in various iterations. A procedure for solving this problem will be presented. The Lyapunov technique is employed to ensure the convergence of the presented STILCS. Computer simulation results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed STILCS. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society     

Mathematical Modeling of Drying of Liquid/Solid Slurries in Steady State One-Dimensional Flow

ABSTRACT

A mathematical model of simultaneous mass, heat and momentum transfer for two-phase flow of a gas and a solid/liquid slurry was developed. The model was applied to calculation of the drying process of coal-water slurry droplets in a gas medium in a steady one-dimensional flow. The model was based on the well-known two-stage drying process for slurry droplets. After the first period of drying, in which the evaporation rate is controlled by the gas phase resistance, the evaporating liquid diffuses through the porous shell (crust) and then, by convection, into the gas medium. Inside the dry external crust of the drop, a wet central core forms, which shrinks as evaporation proceeds. The temperature of the slurry droplet rises. The process ends when the temperature of the dry outer crust reaches the coal ignition temperature in the case of combustion or when the moisture of the particle reaches the final required moisture. The developed model was based on one-dimensional balance equations of mass, energy and momentum for the liquid/solid and gas phases. The system of governing equations was represented by first-order differential equations and solved simultaneously. The numerical solution of the governing equations was obtained using Gear's method. The model permitted calculation     

On some questions regarding k -regular and k -context-free sequences

We answer two questions of Allouche and Shallit regarding k-regular sequences and k-context-free sequences. One of these has been solved independently in another way by Bell. We also provide a partial solution to another question of Allouche and Shallit regarding the subword complexity of k-context-free sequences.     

Maximum capacity of distributed generators connected to a distribution system with a step voltage regulator,as determined with an electric power density model

In a distribution system containing a step voltage regulator (SVR), the maximum capacity of distributed generators (DGs) is calculated for DGs completely dispersed on a distribution line. The maximum capacity of the DGs is calculated under the constraint of an upper or lower voltage regulation value and an allowable current value by using voltage and current profiles expressed analytically in terms of our proposed power density model. As the voltage control method for the SVRs, we consider the conventional SVR, whose transformation ratio is fixed to 1 if it detects reverse power flow, and a reverse power flow SVR which operates appropriately even if it detects reverse power flow. Calculation of the maximum capacity of DGs with respect to the power factor of the DGs indicates which parameters, including the power factor of the DGs, the distribution of the DGs, and the load, influence the maximum DG capacity. Calculation of the maximum capacity of DGs versus the system length indicates that the constraints can be subdivided into two modes in the conventional SVR and four modes in the reverse power flow SVR. The maximum DG capacity in the system with a reverse power flow SVR is larger than that in a system with the conventional SVR. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The dispersion mechanism of TiB2 ceramic phase in molten aluminium and its alloys

Titanium diboride (TiB₂) ceramic particulates are dispersed in molten aluminium and its alloys for grain refining and for making cast metal–matrix composites. For producing cast MMC, the dispersion of the ceramic phase via in-situ aluminothermic reduction of K₂TiF₆ and KBF₄ flux mixture with molten aluminium and, via the addition of exogenously formed TiB₂ with the fluoride flux has been studied at 900°C. In this article, the aspects of interfacial energy that govern the dispersion and agglomeration of TiB₂ particulates are examined. The Gibbs-adsorption interface equation is particularly employed to define and to quantify the change in the surface energy as a function of the alloying element concentration and, consequently the effect of interfacial energy on the nucleation rate of TiB₂ formed via metallothermic reduction reaction and the size of the ceramic phase is also explained.
