Abstract:
Gas hydrate plugs in petroleum fluid pipelines are a major flow assurance problem and thus, it is important for industry to have reliable mathematical models for estimating the time required to dissociate a hydrate pipeline plug. The existing mathematical models for modelling hydrate plug dissociation treat the problem as a pure heat transfer problem. However, an early study by Jamaluddin et al. speculated that the kinetics of gas hydrate dissociation could become the rate-limiting factor under certain operating conditions. In this short communication, a rigorous 2D model couples the equations

The effect of the hydraulic flow pattern on the performance of Waste Stabilization Ponds is analyzed by modelling. The analysis is made on two parameters with different removal constants (Bacteria and BOD) and for the cases of steady hydraulic loading and when hydraulic loading changes on weekends. Plug-flow ponds perform much better than perfect mixed ones for removal of parameters with high removal constants such as bacteria. Plug-flow and perfect mixed ponds perform very similarly when the removal constant is low as for BOD. Changes in the hydraulic loading regime due to weekend effect do n

Abstract:
Numerical simulation of various structures of multiphase flow in the pipe was performed using the OpenFOAM software package. A visual comparison of multiphase flow design structures for separated stratified-wave, plug and annular flow modes with experimental data is presented. For multiphase flow modelling the solver compressibleInterFoam was used. From the results of numerical modelling, it follows that the OpenFOAM software package allows correct prediction of multiphase flow modes in the pipe depending on Reynolds numbers for gas and liquid phases of the flow.

Abstract:
A key parameter in determining the productivity and commercial success of coal seam gas wells is the permeability of individual seams. Laboratory testing of core plugs is commonly used as an indicator of potential seam permeability. The highly heterogeneous and stress-dependent nature of coal makes laboratory measurements difficult to perform and the results difficult to interpret. Consequently, permeability in coal is poorly understood. The permeability of coal at the core scale depends on the geometry, topology, connectivity, mineralisation and spatial distribution of the cleat system, and a

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) represent a promising future direction for the personal transportation sector in terms of decreasing the reliance on fossil fuels while simultaneously decreasing emissions. Energy used for driving is fully or partially shifted to electricity leading to lower emission rates, especially in a low carbon intensive generation mixture such as that of British Columbia’s. Despite the benefits of PHEVs for vehicle owners, care will need to be taken when integrating PHEVs into existing electrical grids. For example, there is a natural coincidence between peak ele

Abstract The knowledge of water levels and discharges in urban drainage and stormwater management (UDSM) systems is of key importance to understand their functioning and processes, to evaluate their performance, and to provide data for modelling. In this chapter, devoted mainly to underground combined and separate sewer pipe systems, various methods and technologies are described and discussed. After an introduction to important aspects to deal with when measuring discharges in sewer systems, the following parts are presented successively: (i) measurement of water level with rulers, and pressure, ultrasonic and radar sensors, (ii) measurement of flow velocity with ultrasonic, Doppler, velocity profiler, free surface, and electromagnetic sensors, (iii) direct measurement of discharge with pre-calibrated devices, physical scale models, computational fluid dynamics modelling and use of pumping stations, and (iv) detection and/or measurement of infiltration into and exfiltration from sewers, with flow or pressure measurements, tracer experiments, distributed temperature sensing and geophysical methods.

Abstract:
This study proposes an intelligent controller for a hydrogen-powered plug-in fuel cell hybrid electric vehicle (FCHEV) that integrates a fuel cell (FC) with two energy storage systems, which are ultracapacitor (UC) and battery (BAT), which results in a high dynamic response along with maintaining efficient use of resources for energy storage. Moreover, this controller works on effectively managing the system power flow to reduce the amount of power needed for the FCHEV. An effective energy management system (EMS) has been developed that utilizes the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) to achieve the EMS requirements. Also, the proposed system operates these three power sources at high efficiency with their mechanism performance, meets load power demands efficiently, and uses less hydrogen. Furthermore, the Crow Search Algorithm (CSA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) methods are utilized to adjust the parameters of the wavelet neural network that is connected to the PI controller, called WNN-PI. The DC-DC converters control the output voltage of the FC and BAT for maintaining the DC-bus voltage constant at 300 volts. The state-of-charge (SOC) for the BAT and UC is also considered in this study. The proposed system is analyzed and evaluated using the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and two vehicle driving cycles were implemented using the ADVISOR Simulator.

Abstract:
One of the issues with commercial aircraft design is that most of the methods of developing and propagating requirements allow for nominally satisfying but less than ideal designs to be produced. There is a significant body of work that illustrates the issues that are inherent with the standard requirements flow-down approach. As an attempt to address this, a series of approaches variously named Value-Driven and Value-Centric Design have been proposed. In looking at commercial aircraft and engine design and operations several authors have suggested using a simplified Value model known as Surplus Value. This paper investigates the derivation of and assumptions that are inherent to the standard surplus value formulation. Further, several interesting and potentially useful outcomes of the standard model are investigated including the relationship with discount rate and maximum used programme duration or product life. Lastly, this paper attempts to remove one of the most restrictive assumptions in the basic surplus value formulation. This results in a more general formulation that incorporates basic sales and operating leases plus the ability to provide managed services. The resulting model is more general, but does require more user information to use.

Abstract:
The integration model (Model B) as discussed in the previous chapter makes use of exchangeable neutral data formats such as IGES (1980). Neutral data formats provide a middle tier to connect CAD and CAM systems. Thus, Model B can create a collaborative manufacturing environment and make the design data exchange possible for large projects at the international level. Yet, some problems still remain. IGES was designed to exchange geometrical information only, so additional design or manufacturing information (such as feature information) within a proprietary model is ignored. During data exchange, some information may become astray during data transfer; geometry stitching or model repair is often needed. Plus, IGES is not an international standard. As previously discussed, there are also problems common to both Models A and B (Figure 10.1). Different data formats (e.g. IGES and ISO 6983-1, 1982) are used in the designto- manufacturing chain. Data loss occurs in the transaction from design to manufacturing because only low-level, step-by-step sequential machining commands are passed onto the CNC controllers, leaving the complete product model behind. Of particular significance has been the endeavour made by the International Organization for Standardization to introduce the STEP Standard (i.e. ISO 10303-1 [1994]). Major aerospace and automotive companies have proven the value of STEP through production implementations resulting in savings of US $150 million per year (Gallaher, O’Connor & Phelps, 2002, PDES, Inc. 2006). Moreover, STEP has recently been extended to cater to manufacturing data modelling and execution with an aim to fill the information gap between CAD/CAPP/CAM and CNC. The standard is informally known as STEP-compliant Numerical Control, or otherwise STEP-NC for short. It was given an ISO name of “ISO 14649: Data model for Computerized Numerical Controllers (ISO 14649-1, 2003)”, which defines the STEP-NC Application Reference Model. With STEP being extended to model manufacturing information, a new paradigm of integrated CAD/CAPP/CAM/CNC is emerging. This is illustrated in Figure 11.1. The key to this paradigm is that no data conversion is required and the data throughout the design and manufacturing chain are preserved. This chapter focuses on the use of STEP standards to support data exchange between CAD systems as well as facilitate data flow between CAD, CAPP, CAM, and CNC systems. Also discussed are the specific integration issues between CAD and CAPP, CAPP and CAM, and CAM and CNC using STEP standards. STEP-NC data model is a relatively new member in the STEP family, but it completes the entire suite of STEP standards from design to NC machining. Both Physical File Implementation Method (ISO 10303-21, 1994) and XML Implementation Method (ISO/TS 10303-18, 2004) are presented as the two popular ways of implementing STEP and STEP-NC.
