On uniform observation of nonuniformly observable systems

In [4,7,9,12], classes of nonlinear systems are considered for which observers can be designed. Although observability of nonlinear systems is known to be dependent on the input, the proposed observers have the property that the estimation error decays to zero irrespective of the input. In the first part of this paper, it is shown that this phenomenon follows from a common property of these systems: for all of them, the “unobservable states” with respect to some input, are in some sense “stable” (in the linear case, these systems are called detectable), and for this reason, a reduced order observer can be designed. In the second part is given a more general class of nonlinear systems for which such an observer can be designed.     

Influence of Mn and Cu addition on the hyperfine parameters of amorphous and nanocrystalline FeCoNbB alloys

The effects of Cu and Mn addition on the hyperfine field of FeCoNbB HITPERM alloys are discussed from Mössbauer spectrometry. Amorphous and nanocrystalline samples at different stages of the nanocrystallization were studied. The effect of Cu addition correlates with the observed refinement of the microstructure. Mn mainly partitions to the matrix, decreasing the average hyperfine field of the amorphous matrix, although some Mn remains in the nanocrystalline grains, presumably, in a concentration below the maximum solubility of Mn in -Fe.     

Surface characterization of 6H-SiC (0001) substrates in indentation and abrasive machining

Surface characterization of 6H-SiC (0001) substrates in indentation and abrasive machining was carried out to investigate microfracture, residual damage, and surface roughness associated with material removal and surface generation. Brittle versus plastic deformation was studied using Vickers indention and nano-indentation. To characterize the abrasive machining response, the 6H-SiC (0001) substrates were ground using diamond wheels with grit sizes of 25, 15 and 7 μm, and then polished with diamond suspensions of 3 and 0.05 μm. It is found that in indentation, there was a scale effect for brittle versus plastic deformation in 6H-SiC substrates. Also, in grinding, the scales of fracture and surface roughness of the substrates decreased with a decrease in diamond grit size. However, in polishing, a reduction in grit size of diamond suspensions gave no significant improvement in surface roughness. Furthermore, the results showed that fracture-free 6H-SiC (0001) surfaces were generated in polishing with the existence of the residual crystal defects, which were associated with the origin of defects in single crystal growth.     

Effects of rapid solidification on the phase structures and electrochemical properties of a V3TiNi0.56Co0.14Nb0.047Ta0.047 alloy

The crystal structures and electrochemical properties of a V₃TiNi_0.56Co_0.14Nb_0.047Ta_0.047 alloy prepared by the melt-spinning method were studied. The rapidly solidified alloy consists of a major Vanadium-based solid solution phase and a secondary Ti₂Ni-based phase. The secondary phase exists between the dendritic arms of the major phase, showing a typical eutectic characteristic. With increasing cooling rate, the amount of the secondary phase decreases but the lattice parameters of both the major phase and the secondary phase show no obvious change. Because the disappearance of the catalytic effect of the secondary phase, the rapidly solidified alloy shows bad electrochemical properties except cycle stability.     

Anaerobic fermentation of xylose by pichia stipitis: The effect of forced cycling of ph

Xylose fermentation by Pichia stipitis was examined using a two-stage batch process. The cells were first grown aerobically on D-xylose (5 g/L), whereafter additional xylose (10 g/L) was added and fermented during anaerobic conditions (T=30°C). The optimum pH value for a fermentation with constant pH was found to be 4.5 (maximum specific ethanol production rate 0.21 g/(g h). Forced square wave cycling of the pH between 4 and 5, and 3.5 and 5.5 (cycle time 30 min) during the fermentation stage resulted in a fermentation rate lower than the maximum rate, but with unchanged ethanol yields.     

On-line determination of supersaturation of a kcl-nacl aqueous solution based on density measurement

A method is developed for the calculation of the saturation temperature of a KCI-NaCI aqueous solution, based on the measurement of the density and temperature of a sample solution, and prior knowledge of the NaCl concentration. Experimental density and solubility data for solutions saturated with KCI in the temperature range of 299 to 321 K with concentrations of NaCl greater than 0.200 kg/kg H₂O were used to develop the empirical correlation allowing the calculation of the solution saturation level. The method is applicable in the on-line determination of the level of supersaturation in a KCI crystallizer in which the NaCl concentration is known. Knowledge of the prevailing supersaturation is necessary for the control of crystal purity and crystal size distribution in industrial potash crystallizers.     

A new maritime lifesaving multiple-effect solar still design

This paper presents a new maritime lifesaving multiple-effect solar still design where several extended wicks feed seawater to their evaporating areas by capillary force, and the resulting water vapor diffuses and condenses on facing wicks with the condensate flowing through the wicks into storage bags. A theoretical analysis showed that a temperature drop through diffusion layers between evaporating and condensing wicks slowly increases in the main evaporating areas and rapidly near salt depositions whereas the evaporation rate decreases slowly in the main area and rapidly near salt depositions. These changes are caused by increases in salt concentrations and resulting boiling point elevation. With steady-state transfer analysis, the proposed still is predicted to produce about 15 kg m ⁻²d⁻¹ fresh water on a sunny day of 22 MJm⁻²d⁻¹ solar radiation, showing a potential to be a maritime lifesaving desalinator.

The use of a mixing-sensitive chemical reaction for the study of pulp fibre suspension mixing

The competitive, consecutive chemical reactions between 1-naphthol and diazotized sulfanilic acid were utilized to study the mixing of a pulp fibre suspension in a 22 L stirred tank reactor. Mixing quality was determined from the distribution between the mono and bis substituted reaction products once a correlation was made for the adsorption of the product dyes onto the suspended fibres. The technique was found to be adequate for assessing micromixing and turbulence intensity within a fibre suspension provided the measured product distribution, Xs, was between 0.4 and 0.01. Thus the mixing conditions that could be assessed depended on both the energy dissipation within the mixer and the amount of the fibre present. For the experimental conditions chosen for this study energy dissipation rates would typically have to be less than 80 W/kg and the suspension mass concentration less than 2.5%. When compared with water, a reduction in turbulence levels at both the impeller zone and a remote zone in the stirred vessel was observed for fibre mass concentrations as low as 0.5%. The turbulence decreased as the suspension mass concentration was increased. This decrease is attributed to energy dissipation by friction at fibre-fibre contact points as the fibres move relative to one another in the flow. This sink removes energy from the turbulence cascade which never shows up as small-scale fluid deformations leading to better mixing.
