A numerical methodology based on the finite volume method and a full multigrid technique is employed.

Such greenhouses are usually designed in ways to control mainly the temperature and relative humidity inside. As an expert and researcher farm, we found that the disease of \"blight\" in crop plants in greenhouses and due to a bad compromise between temperature, relative humidity and ventilation of the greenhouse. The three parameters mentioned above are disrupted by external weather conditions but can also be affected by irrigation, evapotranspiration, etc. To establish this compromise, knowing that the greenhouse system is nonlinear, we must be aided by the identification of the system that is to say the determination of its mathematical model based on experimental observations input-output. For the output of the model is the closest to the real system within a fixed criterion, we must estimate the values of model parameters based on the input-output observations (I/O).

Based on backstepping technique, the proposed control strategy has fast response and good disturbance rejection capability. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system is rigorously proven using a Lyapunov approach. Sliding mode control technique has been incorporated in the feedback linearized control to address the issues of uncertainty and to add robustness to the control algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches are compared against a traditional sliding mode (SMC) for position tracking control and stabilization of the uncertain nonlinear model of inverted cart pendulum.","PeriodicalId":261624,"journal":{"name":"2015 World Symposium on Mechatronics Engineering & Applied Physics (WSMEAP)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122271572","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}

Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg (RKF45) method coupled with shooting technique is applied to solve numerically derived governing equations for heat and mass transfer problem. Nusselt and Sherwood numbers at the material surface are obtained from numerical expressions for temperature fields. Graphical expressions for O2 emission, O2 depletion and temperature behavior are obtained to study and discuss quantitatively the effects of various thermo-physical parameters on CO2, O2 and thermal stability. Thermo-physical parameters that help to reduce CO2 emission and hence O2 preservation, are identified, including those which help spontaneous combustion processes from explosions.","PeriodicalId":261624,"journal":{"name":"2015 World Symposium on Mechatronics Engineering & Applied Physics (WSMEAP)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127033286","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}

The optical properties and irradiation damage have been investigated using Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-VIS spectrophotometer technique at room temperature. The results show that the density of the vacancy-oxygen complex VO center (830 cm-1) increases with increasing neutron fluence. Further, the creation of the divacancy defect (1.8 μm) concentration and the near edge absorption was formed after irradiation. The results from annealing indicate that near-edge absorption, VO defects disappear at 550 °C. However, another band around 825 cm-1 was formed at the same temperature. The near-edge absorption and the band of 1.8μm have not been detected at 550 °C, and new bands near 1.4 and 1.7μm appeared. It is reasonable to assume that the two bands may be due to the divacancy consisting one or more lithium impurity atoms. The existence of these bands confirms that the transmutation of the boron to the lithium atoms can be attained in the neutron fluences available at the reactor Es Salem. It was concluded that the cluster defects induced by the neutron irradiation can be attributed to the vacancy-rich region which reordered after annealing treatment.","PeriodicalId":261624,"journal":{"name":"2015 World Symposium on Mechatronics Engineering & Applied Physics (WSMEAP)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129787612","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}
