The fluid investigated is of sediment/clay suspension exhibiting yield stress characteristics. Bentonite-water suspension 7.5-15wt% and laponite-water suspension 3.5-5wt%, which correspond Bn = 19.76-1470.94 at Re = 100 and Bn = 1.976-147.09 at Re = 1000, are used for simulations. To model the viscoplastic effect, Herschel-Bulkley’s bi-viscosity model for Bingham type is employed. Various flow aspects, i.e., viscosity distribution, streamline pattern, formation of unyielded zones, and pressure distribution, are presented and analyzed in detail. Results show that at Re = 100, neither circulation wake nor static rigid zone is formed in the flow field pattern meanwhile at Re = 1000, the static rigid zone exists at Bn = 6.83 (bentonite 7.5wt%) and Bn = 20.88 (bentonite 10wt%). Moreover, the moving rigid zones generally become larger with the increasing Bn. Furthermore, results for pressure loss per length and friction factor are reported. Approximation functions for pressure loss estimation are also proposed.","PeriodicalId":6690,"journal":{"name":"2020 Applying New Technology in Green Buildings (ATiGB)","volume":"1 1","pages":"87-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81952300","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}

Firstly, an extended nonlinear quarter-car model is developed to capture the main behaviors (dynamic and nonlinear) of the ER dampers. The dynamic H∞ observer is designed to minimize the effects of unknown disturbances (measurement noises and road profile) on the estimation errors by using an H∞ approach, while the nonlinearity coming from the damper model is satisfied a Lipschitz condition. This new estimation method only uses two low-cost sensors (sprung mass and unsprung mass accelerometers) as the inputs of the proposed observer. Then, the observer is implemented on the INOVE test bench from GIPSA-lab (1/5-scaled real vehicle) to assess experimentally the performances of the approach in real-time. Both simulation and experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed observer.","PeriodicalId":6690,"journal":{"name":"2020 Applying New Technology in Green Buildings (ATiGB)","volume":"111 1","pages":"12-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78869317","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}

Generally, microalgae components are recovered after biomass dewatering and drying. In order to minimize energy requirements recovery would have to be performed from wet biomass by low-cost and low energy requirements technologies. For membrane processes, where pumping is generally the main operating cost, the culture medium is eliminated by permeation through a semi-permeable membrane. In this study, the dynamic cross-flow filtrations were performed in terms of permeation flux and maximum cell concentration reachable. The use of dynamic filtration system where the shear rate was independent on the feed flow, allow to reach better flux. The extrapolation to zero flux showed that it would be theoretically possible to achieve up to a factor of concentration close to 1000 was 200 g DM. L−1 (gdry matter.

Several back-calculation programs are useful for back-calculating road pavement layer moduli. A genetic algorithm (GA) was used successfully in this problem but it requires more computation time to a variation of computed deflection using optimized moduli value of road pavement layer based on the GA. There is a few research adopted to Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for computing deflection of the road pavement system. This article aimed to develop ANN for computing surface deflection of pavement using layer moduli and its thicknesses as input parameters. We have also discussed the solution techniques and algorithms for use in developing the program, including Burmister theory for determining deflection based on a cylindrical coordinate system, the GA optimization for back-calculating road pavement moduli, and the development of the ANN-GA model. The evaluation shows that the predicted deflections using the ANN compare well with computed deflections from the hypothetical model.
