To prevent vault creation or to destroy vault by aeration and separation of the loose material from encasing walls, a pneumatic pulsator can be applied. In order to optimize the head design, the flow phenomena were numerically simulated and the channels were preliminarily designed. The data obtained from simulation were also used as a basis for setting up an experimental stand to validate simulation results. During air flow in the channels due to frictional heat is produced, which is discharged from the pulsator to the environment. To increase the heat transfer in pneumatic pulsator, the external surfaces of channel are finned. Numerical simulations carried out conduction and convection heat transfer in the fins, and the results illustrated the temperature distribution on the surface of the body, the temperature distribution in the fins, stress distribution, value of factor of safety, the static displacement of the body and the distribution of air temperature along with the speed vectors. The results were compared with experimental and analytical results that confirm their correctness. The results confirm the rational design of the body in terms of thermal. The obtained temperature distribution using CFD agrees approximately with the values measured during the tests.","PeriodicalId":50304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nonlinear Sciences and Numerical Simulation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/ijnsns-2014-0012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66791054","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}

To assess the performance of ALRs during CO2 absorption, a complex experimental programme was applied in a laboratory-scale rectangular pneumatic contactor, able to operate either as a bubble column or as an airlift reactor. Using the experimental data, a model based on artificial neural network (ANN) was developed. The algorithm for determining the optimal neural network model and for reactor optimization is clonal selection (CS), belonging to artificial immune system class, which is a new computational intelligence paradigm based on the principles of the vertebrate immune system. To improve its capabilities and the probability for highly suitable models and input combinations, addressing maximum efficiency, a Back-Propagation (BK) algorithm – a supervised learning method based on the delta rule – is used as a local search procedure. It is applied in a greedy manner for the best antibody found in each generation. Since the highest affinity antibodies are cloned in the next generation, the effect of BK on the suitability of the individuals propagates into a large proportion of the population. In parallel with the BK hybridization of the basic CS–ANN combination, a series of normalization procedures are included for improving the overall results provided by the new algorithm called nCS-MBK (normalized Clonal Selection-Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network and Back-Propagation algorithm). The optimization allowed for achieving the optimal reactor configuration, which leads to a maximum amount of CO2 dissolved in water.","PeriodicalId":50304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nonlinear Sciences and Numerical Simulation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2015-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/ijnsns-2014-0052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66791262","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}

The load responses during retraction is confirmed by elastic model based on the Oliver–Pharr approach. Significant indentation size effect that the contact hardness decreases with the increase of contact depth is compared with existing models. The atomic configurations of the film shows that perfect dislocations nucleate under the indenter with Burges vectors perpendicular to the indentation direction. The strain distribution under the indenter shows that the length of plastic zone in the indentation direction is much larger than the contact width.","PeriodicalId":50304,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nonlinear Sciences and Numerical Simulation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/ijnsns-2013-0117","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66790443","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}
