While determining the efficiency of the RPB, the MRT of the liquid plays a vital role. The MRT of the RPB is very small and can be tuned in accordance with the mass transfer rate of the solvent to achieve the required outlet concentration of the absorbed gas. There exist two methods, i.e., empirical correlation and the residence time distribution (RTD) method. The applicability of both methods still needs to be investigated for better prediction of MRT in RPB. The current study compares the MRT of the two of the most widely employed techniques, i.e., MRT by empirical correlation and the RTD approach using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The difference between the MRT by both methods lies between 30-38%. The results show that the RTD better predicts the MRT in the RPB as compared to the Burns empirical correlation.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"24 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78661899","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzing the parameters of the simulation system and its improved system with typical short-circuit faults, this paper studies the transient stability of power systems and its improvement. Firstly, based on the SIMULINK of MATLAB, a double-loop simulation with the single-machine-infinite-bus system is built. The simulation experiments of the system under the circumstances of three-phase short circuit and single-phase grounding short circuit faults are then carried out to analyze the parameters such as limit cutting time and voltage. Besides, this paper explores how the controllable series capacitor compensation device and reducing mechanical power output by prime mover improve the transient stability of the system. Experiments show that the stability after fault is under conditions where the fault is removed before the critical clearing time, which can increase the threshold to gain more response time for relay protection devices. Thus, the value of researching and improving system transient stability is proved.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76249954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This cooling demand is mainly covered by technologies conventional machines, in particular vapor compression machines, which leads to a high increased demand for electricity. In this context, absorption systems (Herold et al. 2016), lend themselves well to the recovery of heat at low temperature for the production of cold. The advantage of these machines is that the mechanical compression is replaced by a compression thermochemical that uses heat. Although characterized by a low level of maturity technology (TRL 3-4), an even more ambitious study concerns combined systems based on exploitation of thermal energy at low temperatures, in which electrical power and cooling are produced in the same cycle. The present work focuses on the analysis of a pilot installation (Figure 1) of combined production cooling and electricity (CFE) in parallel, from a low temperature source [80 -150°C] and from maximum thermal power of the generator 15 kW.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87730587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So far, there has been no report on the controllability analysis of biohydrogen production using dark fermentation. Process controllability is a crucial factor determining process feasibility. This paper presents a new criterion for assessing biohydrogen process controllability based on PI control. It proposes the critical loop gain derived via Routh stability analysis as a measure of process controllability. Results show that the dark fermentation using the bacteria from anaerobic dairy sludge and substrate source from sugarcane vinasse can lead to a highly controllable process with a critical loop gain value of 4.3. For the two other cases, an increase of substrate concentration from 10 g/L to 40 g/L substantially reduces the controllability. The proposed controllability criterion is easily adopted to assess the process feasibilty based on experimental data.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86513011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employs a cohesive zone constitutive model for simulating the damage-healing behaviour of an embedded interface within 3D continuum elements. Fluid flow is simulated using a mass balance equation and Darcy’s law. Healing is computed via a generalised curing front model that simulates the accumulation of healed material within a crack.

The effects of GTAW parameters such as welding current, welding speed, and gas flow on microstructure and tensile strength have been analyzed through the Taguchi method. Results revealed that tensile strength is primarily influenced by welding current, followed by speed and gas flow rate. The excellent joint strength of 138 MPa has been achieved by using Cu-10%Ni filler metal. The optimal combination of parameters, i.e., welding current of level 2 (80 A), welding speed of level 1 (100 mm/min), and gas flow rate of level 3 (10 l/min), has been obtained through SN ratio optimization.

In this paper, the turbulent flow of the stenosed vessel is stimulated and correlates the different stages of stenosis with each other. As we know that the blood flow in most blood vessels is laminar, but in case of stenosed vessel, the blood flow becomes turbulent; this is due to the blockage that blood does not flow linearly and produces chaos. Several liquid parameters are analyzed, such as pressure, velocity, turbulence kinetic energy, density, and shear rate. The inlet and outlet flow are especially concerning. For this purpose, we explored the stenosed behavior by the software COMSOL Multiphysics which provided us with a complete examination of the Computational fluid dynamics. With an increase in renal artery stenosis, there is a decrease in the blood flow which will automatically affect the pressure of the blood and can cause serious kidney diseases and, in some cases, permanent damage to the kidney sometimes. This paper highlights the early stages of renal artery stenosis, which are likely to be cured. Also, it shows the behavior of the severe late stages, which we consider nearly impossible to cure. The result explains that how different parameters vary according to stated cases.","PeriodicalId":18309,"journal":{"name":"MATEC Web of Conferences","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81033577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, polyurethane-shelled microcapsules containing a commercially available water repellent agent were produced using membrane emulsification equipment, supplied by Micropore Technologies, followed by interfacial polymerisation. Production was scaled across three different cross-flow membrane emulsification devices, the AXF-1, the AXF-3, and the AXF-4, increasing production output to a maximum of 850 L/hr of capsule suspension. Following production, capsules were characterised, measuring average size and size distribution, as well as integrated into a cementitious matrix. The results highlight the key parameters that govern capsule size, the versatility of the equipment, and the consistent quality of capsules produced.
