Abstract:
This paper describes the design of conventional Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems, and the novel Counter Current Dissolved Air Flotation Filtration (COCODAFF®) process. The operation and performance of these plants on a variety of water types in the United Kingdom and South Africa is also described. The advantages of flotation processes for the treatment of impounded waters either high in colour, or with a high concentration of algae, is discussed. Other topics covered in this paper are hydraulic flocculation, and the application of Finite Element Analysis (FEA), to the design of flotation plants. It is concluded that the COCODAFF® process offers a number of advantages over conventional DAF systems.

Abstract:
Detrimental substances that originate from deinked pulps and other raw materials tend to build up in paper machine circulation waters, hindering process efficiency and paper quality. The applicability of selective flotation to remove substances from circulation waters was investigated in a two-stage flotation process in which no chemical additives were used. The first stage of the process consisted of a flow channel for white water deaeration, including first-stage flotation. The overflow of the channel flow flotation was further treated in a separate second-stage flotation. The efficiency of the flow channel and a secondary flotation to remove bubbly gases, ink, stickies, and wood extractives were quantified in relation to the reject flow rates or solids yield. The total removal efficiency of a simulated two-stage flotation process was then analyzed for a specific case. The results showed that a considerable reduction of contaminant load can be obtained using a two-stage flotation process without affecting the deaerating function of the channel flow. Further optimization of the proposed internal white water purification scheme may provide substantial benefits to paper or board machine operations with reasonable solids recovery rate.

Full text
Abstract:
A flotation process and two different heat treatment processes prior to pulping were investigated according to their ability to remove mineral oils. For flotation, a correlation between removal of mineral oils and inorganic particles could be found for all process chemicals used in this study. By optimization of chemical concentration and dosing sequence, up to 80% of mineral oils could be removed while keeping the total losses smaller than 15%. The heat treatment processes achieved mineral oil removal rates that were in some cases even higher than those for flotation. For these processes, the most important parameters appeared to be the specific energy applied, the temperature, and the particle size distribution of recovered paper components. However, the specific energy consumption was quite high.

Abstract:
This paper examines an experimental study of optimal nozzle design for a dissolved air flotation system. The term optimal is in reference to field studies of bubble-floc agglomeration in an actual DAF tank. The primary mechanism of floc removal has been identified as bubble clustering. By understanding the significance of bubble clustering it was possible to design a nozzle that could be successfully operated at reduced saturation pressures while still achieving improved levels of turbidity in the post-DAF water.

Full text
Abstract:
Flotation can be used in municipal wastewater treatment plants in different ways. Since the pollutants in wastewater to such a large extent are associated with particles, a very substantial treatment efficiency can be reached at a very small space, by using flotation in a chemical (or enhanced primary) treatment scheme. This is demonstrated in this paper with reference to results from small, prefabricated chemical plants based on flotation, which are frequently used in Norway. If used in connection with biological plants (for instance for nitrogen removal), the combination of biofilm reactors and flotation is especially advantageous because coagulation/flocculation/flotation can be placed directly after the bioreactor. Results from two such plants in Norway are presented. Recommendations with respect to design and operation of flotation plants in wastewater treatment are given.

Abstract:
This paper reviews the experience the drinking water companies in The Netherlands have gained in the last twenty years in the field of dissolved air flotation. An overview of the Dutch flotation plants with their individual objectives is presented. The efficiency of flotation towards the removal of different parameters, such as turbidity, organic matter and micro-organisms is good, which is illustrated by data from the water companies. Both in the past and at present water companies compare flotation to other floc separation techniques, such as sedimentation or direct filtration. Specially for waters with (relative) low turbidity and high chlorophyll-a content, flotation proved (in combination with rapid sand filtration) to be very effective. The efficiency of the flotation process has been improved by the development of different nozzle-types. Some of these types are described here, each with their advantages and disadvantages. In general dissolved air flotation has proved to be as sturdy and reliable as sedimentation techniques, such as lamellae settling.

Abstract:
The development of the biofuel industry and the production of bioethanol and using it as a fuel in the world in general and in Ukraine in particular are analyzed in the paper. Bioethanol is mostly produced from sugar- and starch-containing raw materials. It is noted that bioethanol is obtained mainly from molasses in Ukraine. Molasses is a by-product of sugar beet production. The prospects of second-generation bioethanol production made from unfit for human consumption lignocellulosic biomass such as agricultural by-products, forestry residues, municipal waste are considered. Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass is the main task in bioethanol production from such raw materials. Partial or complete hydrolysis of hemicellulose and the conversion of crystalline cellulose into an amorphous state are required to destroy the strong structure of the lignocellulosic complex and remove lignin for further processing. The method of Discrete-Pulse Energy Input was used to intensify the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic biomass. The method allows shortening the duration of pretreatment, hydrolysis and fermentation, increasing the amount of reducing substances in the wort, reducing energy consumption and generally making this technology more economically attractive. The universal heat and mass exchange installation in order to reduce energy and resource consumption in bioethanol production from lignocellulosic biomass is developed at the Institute of Engineering Thermophysics of the NAS of Ukraine. The Installation allows carrying out the processes of dispersion, dissolution, heating, hydrolysis at the same time in one apparatus.

Abstract:
The SSHARE project will develop innovative self-sufficient envelope for buildings aimed at net zero energy, thereby contributing to the European technology. Envelope is a combination of two breaking through technologies: HUNTER-Humidity to Electricity Convertor and Advanced Radiant Panel for Buildings that will cool or heat the building, depending on the time of year, imitating perspiration of living beings and using only water as both thermal and electric energy supply. Successful realization of the project is assured by implementing a coordinated network of knowledge sharing in materials science, chemistry and mechanical engineering; by solidifying the state-of-the-art understanding in nanoelectronics and energy efficiency, and by applying bottom-up nanoengineering approaches via an international and inter-sector collaboration of highly qualified researchers from Portugal, Spain, Ukraine, Belarus, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Russian Federation. Technological (panels fabrication) as well as fundamental (renewable energy) issues will be assessed by this multidisciplinary consortium. This paper explains the basis and principles for the development of a new generation of building materials and hence the creation of net zero building. Sharing the culture of research and innovation, the SSHARE project will allow applying recent advancements in nanotechnology science and mechanical engineering to address ““Plus Energy Houses”” EU 2050 concept.”.

Abstract:
Information Technology (IT) is fundamentally a people business that involves integrating technology into human processes in order to solve problems and create new capacities. These integration skills are not often taught in undergraduate computing curricula. The Galisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has been offering a course in the diffusion of innovations for several years now and considers the communication needed to diffuse an innovation core to IT’s mission. The course, called Technology Transfer, is the study of the "flow" of technology from its creation through adoption to implementation and eventual effects. Our BS in Information Technology has one of the few courses that address these issues directly. Many students are skeptical of the reality of organizational life and fail to understand the way that change actually occurs. The course provides a framework by which students can interpret and understand their roles as change agents in the organization. This paper provides an overview of RIT's Technology Transfer course, explains its rationale within the curriculum and its contribution to professional practice. It also discusses some of the techniques used in teaching these skills. The paper concludes with feedback on the value of the course to our graduates.

Full text
Abstract:
The paper presents a research case study that describes the three year history of the Increments and Transformations Institute (ITI) at the University of South Florida. The ITI's goal is to encourage faculty members from all disciplines to enhance the effectiveness of their teaching through the appropriate use of technologies and pedagogical strategies. Institute participation consists of a year-long cohort-based program of faculty development divided into three distinct phases. In Phase I, participating faculty members attend an intensive week-long workshop on teaching with technology. Phase II takes place during the fall semester that follows, during which time each participant must implement a single technology-based/pedagogically-informed change to one or more courses (a.k.a., an "increment"). During Phase III, in the spring, each participant must share his or her experiences with additional departmental and college colleagues in a formal setting. There is also an optional Phase IV, during which participants may return to the institute and act as facilitators for subsequent cohorts. Since it was established, the ITI's organization and approach has undergone two significant changes, moving from extensive reliance on outside facilitators to almost exclusive use of former participants and moving from traditional workshop activities to a structure based around teaching cases. The case study considers how these changes impacted outcomes and have led to an approach to faculty development that is both highly effective and increasingly self-sustaining.

Abstract:
Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability, which can affect communication and behavior, causing significant social, communication, and behavior challenge. From a rare childhood disorder, ASD has evolved into a disorder that is found, according to the National Institute of Health, in 1% to 2% of the population in high income countries. A potential early and accurate diagnosis can not only help doctors to find the disease early, leading to a more on time treatment to the patient, but also can save significant healthcare costs for the patients. With the rapid growth of ASD cases, many open-source ASD related datasets were created for scientists and doctors to investigate this disease. Autistic Spectrum Disorder Screening Data for Adult is a well-known dataset, which contains 20 features to be utilized for further analysis on the potential cause and prediction of ASD. In this paper, we developed an Autism classification algorithm based on logistic regression model. Our model starts with featuring engineering to extract deep information from the dataset and then applied a modified logistic regression classifier to the data. The model can predict the ASD in an average F1 score of 0.97, which displays the superiority and feasibility of the proposed model. Besides, the data visualization technique was used to displays several feature distributions images for people to better understand the data and related feature engineering.

Full text
Abstract:
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in conjunction with Virginia Tech, has developed a rating methodology for residential-scale stationary fuel cell systems. The methodology predicts the cumulative electrical production, thermal energy delivery, and fuel consumption on an annual basis. The annual performance is estimated by representing the entire year of climate and load data into representative winter, spring/fall, and summer days for six different U.S. climatic zones. It prescribes a minimal number of steady state and simulated use tests, which provide the necessary performance data for the calculation procedure that predicts the annual performance. The procedure accounts for the changes in performance resulting from changes in ambient temperature, electrical load, and, if the unit provides thermal as well as electrical power, thermal load. The rating methodology addresses four different types of fuel cell systems: grid-independent electrical load following, grid-connected constant power, grid-connected thermal load following, and grid-connected water heating. This paper will describe a partial validation of the rating methodology for a grid-connected thermal load following fuel cell system. The rating methodology was validated using measured data from tests that subjected the fuel cell system to domestic hot water and space heating thermal loads for each of the three representative days. The simplification of a full year’s load and climate data into three representative days was then validated by comparing the rating methodology predictions with the prediction of each hour over the full year in each of the six cities.

Full text
Abstract:
Despite the fact that the invention of the fuel cell is more than 160 years old, the fuel cell industry today is still in its infancy. While there are many large companies active in the industry, it is, for the most part, dominated by many small and startup companies focused on the design and development of fuel cell systems. Relatively little attention has been given to the cost effective high-volume (i.e., automated) manufacture of the resulting systems and components. If the wide spread commercial use of fuel cells is to become a reality, and we are to realize the potential benefits to our environment and mankind it is essential that we also put the appropriate level of attention on the enabling manufacturing technologies. Celanese Ventures GmbH is a “new venture” arm of Celanese AG, located in Frankfurt, Germany. They are focused on developing the market for their high temperature polybenzimidazole (PBI®)-based membrane material for use in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Several years ago Celanese realized that the best way to ensure the market for their membrane material is to develop the capability to produce complete membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) that can be incorporated into fuel cell systems being developed by other companies. Furthermore, such value-added processing can be economically advantageous. This paper will describe the multi-phased collaboration between Celanese, the Flexible Manufacturing Center (FMC) located at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), and Progressive Machine and Design (PMD) to develop a fully automated high temperature MEA pilot manufacturing line that began operation in September, 2002. The FMC has and continues to serve in a unique role for a university research center. The FMC has been involved in the concept development, laboratory proof of principle, acquisition management, technical representation during the design, build and implementation phases, and the ongoing optimization of and improvements to the operational pilot line. We will describe the unique properties of the high temperature PBI® membrane and the benefits of this form of membrane in PEM fuel cell operations. The specific role of the FMC during each phase of the project will be highlighted, and a description of the resulting pilot line will be provided. Finally, we will discuss the important role that effective technology transfer plays in a project with the magnitude and complexity described herein.

Abstract:
“The problem with a tent is that when you use it you throw it away, so it’s money that melts.”—Alejandro Aravena The social project of architecture has long been fascinated with emergency and refugee housing as a primary unit of architectural and urban development. For decades, architects have proposed alternatives to the United Nations’ blue tent cities that are the principal image associated with humanitarian aid and its resulting urbanism. During the 2016 Venice Biennale Reporting from the Front, curator Alejandro Aravena challenges architects to reconsider the discipline’s relationship to society’s most urgent challenges. The ongoing European refugee crisis is one such ‘Front’and this research examines the viability of an alternative to the polyvinylchloride (PVC) tarp as the default condition of emergency and refugee housing. The authors propose that waterproof paper surfaces and members, treated with a proprietary nano-coating can perform as well as traditional materials, but with reduced environmental impact and improved user comfort. A collaboration between researchers in Material Science and Architecture combines ongoing scientific research with digital design tools and methods. Following is a brief history of building with paper, an introduction to hydrophobic nano-coatings, and several fabricated prototypes. This project expands upon initial applications from the Tokyo Institute of Technology (2012) where researchers successfully prepared paper surfaces with a nano-particle coating, repelling water and maintaining structural integrity.

A supercritical CO2 test facility is currently being developed at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India to analyze the performance of a closed loop Brayton cycle for concentrated solar power (CSP) generation. The loop has been designed for an external heat input of 20 kW, a pressure range of 75–135 bar, flow rate of 11 kg/min, and a maximum cycle temperature of 525 °C. The operation of the loop and the various parametric tests planned to be performed are discussed in this paper. The paper addresses various aspects of the loop design with emphasis on design of various components such as regenerator and expansion device. The regenerator design is critical due to sharp property variations in CO2 occurring during the heat exchange process between the hot and cold streams. Two types of heat exchanger configurations 1) tube-in-tube (TITHE) and 2) printed circuit heat exchanger (PCHE) are analyzed and compared. A PCHE is found to be ∼5 times compact compared to a TITHE for identical heat transfer and pressure drops. The expansion device is being custom designed to achieve the desired pressure drop for a range of operating temperatures. It is found that capillary of 5.5 mm inner diameter and ∼2 meter length is sufficient to achieve a pressure drop from 130 to 75 bar at a maximum cycle temperature of 525 °C.

Abstract:
This paper discusses on how globalization affects industry, business and engineering practice, and what kind of education is considered and attempted at selected high schools and colleges to raise global leaders from the United States, India and Japan. Case studies for selected schools in the United States, India and Japan are also presented. In particular, details on the participation of undergraduate students in an integrated, global research culminating in global leadership and outlook with specific examples from the ongoing collaboration of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad, India are presented to corroborate the beneficial effects of globalization. With the goal of effectively raising global leaders in science and engineering fields, the authors propose a scheme for the trilateral collaboration between the U. S., India and Japan, with a focus on difference in education, characters of the peoples, and preferred models of global leaders among these nations.
