The PLC controls the entire process and programming of PLC is done using Sysmac studio automation software using the ladder programming language. The proposed system controls the temperature of the heat exchanger system through PID and Fractional Order PID (P <span>({text{I}}^{uplambda }{text{D}}^{upmu })</span>) controllers with Integral Anti-windup technique. Various control strategies like Cascade Control, Feedforward Control and Smith Predictor for time delayed process are discussed for controlling the temperature of the process. The performance of both PID and fractional order PID controllers is optimized using adaptive heuristic optimization techniques like Genetic Algorithm (GA), Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). In control system design and analysis, the calculated performance indices are used as quantitative measures for evaluating the performance of a system. The combined form of temperature controller with Cascade control, Feedforward control and dead-time compensator is modelled and examined for simulation using MATLAB.

This model optimized the heat source structure and simulated the phase change process, thermal storage performance, and evolution and effects of convection-induced vortices. To overcome the limitations of melting blind spots in traditional inner-tube heat sources, a dispersed heating approach was introduced to optimize the heat source distribution on the inner and outer tubes without changing the heat exchange area. The optimal heat source model demonstrated superior heat transfer performance, featuring an inner-tube top heat source and three uniformly distributed outer-tube bottom heat sources at a dispersion angle of 60°. It reduced the complete melting time by 70.88% compared to the inner-tube heat source alone and by 51.99% compared to the outer-tube bottom heat source. The dispersed heat sources effectively utilized the natural convection benefits at the upper inner side and enhanced the heat transfer at the lower sections to address the melting blind spots of the central heat source, thereby improving the uniformity of the process. The enhancement in heat transfer within the dispersed heat source model is primarily due to the optimized heat source distribution, which facilitates a more dispersed and uniform vortex evolution during the phase change. This promotes the development of the liquid-solid interface and reduces the mutual interference in convection vortex expansion.

These two algorithms are compared in terms of accuracy and convergence speed. The Rao-1 algorithm stands out with high accuracy and rapid convergence. To evaluate the algorithm applicability in estimating f<sub>c</sub>, the following cases are considered: (1) a numerical investigation with artificial Gaussian error in simulated temperature readings and (2) a real-time experiment on WEDM setup with varying discharge currents. The RMS error between the actual and estimated value of fc with SS-304 material during numerical investigation is found to be 562 W/m which is just 0.008 times of heat source. Real-time experiments reveal that the discharge current is directly proportional to the total energy supplied by the wire as well as f<sub>c</sub>. The f<sub>c</sub> values estimated by the proposed inverse algorithm with various discharge currents fall within the range of 15–18%, aligning with the existing literature.

The authors implemented five distinct configurations, encompassing uniform radial air injection (profile 1) and variable radial air injection (profiles 2–5), with a particular emphasis on the concomitant production of liquid and air phases. Additionally, the study examined the frictional behavior along the perforated wellbore. Liquid production was demonstrably amplified throughout the bubble, plug, and slug flow regimes; however, a decline was observed in the stratified, stratified transition, and stratified wave flow regimes. Notably, the liquid product exhibited a direct correlation with both the mixture flow rate and its associated Reynolds number, signifying an increase with holdup and a decrease with void fraction. Conversely, air production displayed a positive association with a higher air flow rate. Overall, profiles 2 and 4 yielded the most favorable production during the bubble, plug, slug, and stratified flow regimes. In contrast, profile 3 emerged as the optimal configuration for the stratified transition and stratified wave flow regimes. The friction factor remained relatively constant with profile 1, experienced a reduction in profile 2, and exhibited an escalation in profile 3. Additionally, it increased in the middle of profile 4 and decreased at the center of the perforated section in profile 5. The friction factor behavior of profile 1 remained stable and smooth due to the invariant air flow rate throughout the perforated section. Conversely, some fluctuation was observed in profile 2 due to the inherent variability of the radial air injection along the perforated section. Importantly, the experimental and numerical results demonstrated satisfactory agreement across all flow patterns, with some minor discrepancies noted in the static pressure drop behavior during the bubble, dispersed bubble, and slug flow regimes.</p>","PeriodicalId":12908,"journal":{"name":"Heat and Mass Transfer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141880462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses a dual-scale porous medium model and computational methods to understand the nature of tuberculosis infection spread within the lungs and its effects on the alveolar oxygen exchange. The entire lung is modelled as a global, equivalent, heterogeneous porous medium comprising three zones with varying permeabilities that correspond to 23 generations of airflow branches. Airflow during each breathing cycle is simulated by solving transient mass and momentum transfer equations across the three zones of the global model. A separate local model is invoked in zone 3, to analyse oxygen exchange between the alveolar airflow and incoming capillary blood via mass transfer equations. The transient mass exchange equations are solved in the local model to yield the percentage of oxygen transferred to the blood. Tuberculosis spread – and hence, the congestion of the lung – is introduced by modifying the permeability and porosity of the global porous medium model. The impact of infection on the overall bloodstream oxygen content is evaluated by concurrent use of the global and local models.

Moreover, the effect mechanism of magnetic field on hydrate phase equilibrium in different systems was analyzed in terms of intermolecular interaction. Under the same pressure, the magnetic field increased the phase equilibrium temperature of CO<sub>2</sub> hydrate by 2.0–2.8 K in the three ionic solutions, which improved the hydrate formation conditions. This is mainly due to that the magnetic effect increases water activity and weakens the ionic hydration shells, thus promotes hydrate formation. In addition, compared with the ionic solution systems without magnetic field, the magnetic field increased the hydrate phase equilibrium temperature by 0.1–2.5 K in the ionic solution-sediment systems. However, the degree of temperature increase is less than that in the magnetic field-ionic solution systems, which is because the magnetic field enhances the binding between ions and the sediment particle in sediment-bearing systems. Compared with the magnetic field-ionic solution systems, the water activity in the magnetic field-ionic solution-sediment systems is lower, which makes hydrate formation more difficult. Moreover, with the movement of cations and anions in magnetic field, the crystals may be formed due to ion collisions, enhance the capillary action in ionic solution-sediment systems, and then hinder the hydrate formation.

This study systematically investigated the changes in electrical properties (specifically resistivity, capacitance, and impedance) of gabbro after microwave heating during the graded loading process, as well as its internal fracture mechanism. The findings indicate that the variations in resistivity, impedance, and capacitance of gabbro can be divided into three stages during the graded loading process: the compaction stage, elastic-steady cracking stage, and nonlinear crack propagation stage. When the strain level exceeds 70%, the resistivity and impedance start to increase, and the capacitance begins to decrease. The study also identifies a significant positive correlation between microwave power and the rate of temperature increase on the rock surface. A critical power threshold of approximately 2 kW is observed, below which achieving rapid temperature rise becomes challenging, but beyond which the temperature escalates swiftly with the energy input. Once the temperature exceeds 350 °C, rupturing mineral inclusions generate numerous microcracks, causing resistivity and impedance to exponentially increase. Furthermore, microwave heating induces a temperature differential exceeding 200 °C between the internal and external regions of the rock. Under the same radiation energy, high-power short-duration radiation is more likely to generate thermally induced cracks within the rock. The rapid expansion and heating of absorbent minerals, as well as the rupture of inclusions, further intensify the propagation of microcracks, greatly reducing the mechanical properties of the rock.
