The experiments were performed with incense smoke particles having a mean size of about 0.28 µm. An aerosol spectrometer was employed for characterizing the size distribution of these particles at the outlet of the ESP. Then, the total and fractional collection efficiencies were estimated for different relative humidity levels ranging from 40 to 70 %. Various DC applied voltages in the case of positive and negative polarities have been under consideration. For given atmospheric conditions, the results obtained with the aerosol spectrometer show that the performances of the ESP increases with the applied voltage (range: 10 to 40 kV) and the particle diameter (range: 0.2 to 0.7 µm). The collection efficiency is higher at increased RH. The negative corona discharge is overall more effective than the positive one. However, the difference between the two polarities becomes minor at high RH.","PeriodicalId":317643,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114375131","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 contact current flow from the small capacitor of about 2.2 pF is examined. There are several current flow patterns which should be strongly dependent on the contact area. If the contact area is fresh, the reproducible tunneling current should be observed with rising time of less than 100 ps. If any contamination occurs, the current flow is barrier type which strongly depends on current flow channel. Those current flow mechanisms are analyzed physically by using different material surfaces.","PeriodicalId":317643,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130266859","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}

A single-stage axisymmetric conduction micropump in the vertical configuration has been proposed in this paper. This micropump consists of four components: high voltage ring electrode, grounded disk-shaped electrode, insulator spacer, and inlet/outlet ports. The packaged micropump was positioned vertically in a bath of working fluid; the generated static pressure and electric current were measured in the absence of fluid flow at different applied voltages. Three different dielectric liquids, 10-GBN Nynas and Shell Diala AX transformer oils, and N-hexane were introduced as the working fluids. The micropump was operated at the range of applied voltages between 300 and 1500 VDC. Maximum pressure generations up to 100 Pa was achieved. In order to estimate the space charge density distribution and the spatial variation of the electric field in the micropump, and to further verify the experimental results, a numerical simulation was also performed. The pressure head generation was predicted numerically and compared with experimental results at different applied voltages. The comparison between the experimental and numerical pressure generations shows good agreement.","PeriodicalId":317643,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129172444","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}

A new approach consists of flue gas adsorption, desorption (concentration and adsorbent regeneration), followed by nonthermal plasma decomposition was developed. These hybrid processes make the flue gas volume order of magnitude small, resulting in the reduction of the energy cost, reactor size and power supply. This concept was applied for NOx, various VOCs and hazardous air pollutants treatment. More than 90% of NOx and VOCs reduction was achieved using a series of surface discharge units. The energy efficiencies of 3.35 g(NO2)/kWh for NOx and 34.2 g/kWh for toluene were achieved using concentration technique, followed by surface discharge plasma reactor.

The fuzzy neural network (FNN) structure is basically composed of two parallel fuzzy-neural PI/PD-like fuzzy controllers. Each of the fuzzy-neural PI/PD controllers is a four layer control network. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is used to adaptively train each FNN parameters on-line. The on-line learning mechanism modifies the weights and the membership functions of the parallel FNN PI/PD-like fuzzy controllers to adaptively control the rotor speed of the drive system. Thus, the proposed architecture-based EKF presents an alternative to control schemes employed so far. The entire system is designed and implemented in the laboratory using a hardware setup. The real-time laboratory implementation is based on a dSPACE DS1104 DSP and MATLAB/Simulink environment. Experimental results have shown that the proposed controller adaptively and robustly responds to a wide range of operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":317643,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE Industry Applications Society Annual Meeting","volume":"120 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133136751","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}
