Particle Swarm Optimization Neural Network and Its Application in Soft-Sensing Modeling

July 2005 · Lecture Notes in Computer Science

Particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) is applied to train artificial neural network (NN) to construct a neural network based on particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSONN). Then, PSONN is employed to construct a practical soft-sensor of gasoline endpoint of main fractionator of fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU). The obtained results indicate that soft-sensing model based on PSONN has ... [Show full abstract] better performance than soft-sensing model based on BPNN and the new method proposed by this paper is feasible and effective in soft-sensing modeling of gasoline endpoint.

Elastic constants of SiCp/Al: Measurements and modeling

January 1994 · Metallurgical and Materials Transactions A

Using dynamic methods, the authors measured Young and shear moduli of aluminum-matrix particle-reinforced composites containing up to 55 vol pct SiC particles. Using a scattered-plane-wave ensemble-average model, they calculated four elastic constants: Young, shear, and bulk moduli, and Poisson ratio. the model uses four pieces of input information: matrix elastic constants, particle elastic ... [Show full abstract] constant, particle volume fraction, and particle shape. Between measurement and calculation, they found good agreement. As expected, the elastic stiffnesses fall well below a rule-of-mixture prediction; the Poisson ratio falls above. Also, the authors report the Young-modulus-mode internal friction, which, against expectation, increases with increasing particle content.

Fractional order modelling of the cumulative deformation of granular soils under cyclic loading

December 2015 · Acta Mechanica Solida Sinica

To model the cumulative deformation of granular soils under cyclic loading, a mathematical model was proposed. The power law connection between the shear strain and loading cycle was represented by using fractional derivative approach. The volumetric strain was characterized by a modified cyclic flow rule which considered the effect of particle breakage. All model parameters were obtained by the ... [Show full abstract] cyclic and static triaxial tests. Predictions of the test results were provided to validate the proposed model. Comparison with an existing cumulative model was also made to show the advantage of the proposed model.

This paper reports the results of a study on the reason for chlorine-induced corrosion in the superheater, the factor of corrsion is caused by the chloride deposit. A three-dimensional model is performed in order to analyse chloride particles deposit in the flue-gas. The use of CFD codes for modeling of two-phase flow, it is important to know whether or not deposition will be present in some ... [Show full abstract] sensitive location. The RNG k-ε turbulence model and mixture model are employed in the article. The predicted results show that the volume fraction of particles phase varies along with the flow field. Chloride particles may deposit where the area of high volume fraction. Actually, under the condition of different velocity magnitude, the deposition of chloride particles is existed on the border of the baffle and at the bottom of the vessel.

Grain growth controlled by mobile particles on grain boundaries

August 2006 · Scripta Materialia

Vladimir Yu. Novikov

Grain growth in a three-dimensional microstructure is simulated under the assumptions that dispersed particles of identical size are localized on grain boundaries, move together with the boundaries, and that their size and number are independent of time. These particles are shown to already retard the growth process at volume fractions as low as similar to 0.0001. The kinetics of grain growth ...

Modeling of the process of granulation by rolling

September 1990

A mathematical model has been proposed for the process of granulation by rolling with an account of the segregation of the particles according to size in the cross section of the drum. The sequence of using the proposed model for the designing of granulators is as follows: The drum is divided into sections along its length; the parameters characterizing the distribution and movement of the ... [Show full abstract] granules in the cross section of the drum are determined in each section; the number of sublayers and their boundaries are determined; the initial distribution of the fractions in sublayers is determined from the granulometric composition of the particles; and the processes of segregation and granule formation are calculated consecutively in each section.

Powder discharge from a hopper-standpipe system modelled with CPFD

November 2016 · Advanced Powder Technology

In this paper, computational particle fluid dynamic (CPFD) modelling approach was used to describe the discharge of a fine glass beads powder from different hopper-standpipe geometries. The comparison between the CPFD predictions and the experimental results in terms of solid discharge rates, surface cone shape during discharge and pressure drops in the standpipe. The comparison allowed to assess ... [Show full abstract] on the possibility to use the CPFD modelling approach to simulate the powder flow in the hopper-standpipe system even accounting for the rather complex interactions between the interstitial gas and the particles occurring in the presence of a standpipe. Furthermore, the effect of hopper geometry on powder discharge was investigated with the CPFD model and verified experimentally in some purposely built hoppers. Finally, the relationships between the hopper geometry parameters (hopper outlet diameter and hopper half angle) and the flow parameters (solid discharge rate, height of characteristic surface, particle volume fraction, particle velocity, gas pressure and flow pattern) were obtained.

Modeling Bacteria Transport Using Fractional Derivatives

December 2004

Usually contaminant transport through porous media is modeled through the advection-dispersion equation (ADE), while the heterogeneities in the system are modeled stochastically. Unfortunately, stochastic models are computationally intensive. An alternative is to use fractional ADEs, which are capable of capturing the greater variation in particle locations that are seen in various breakthrough ... [Show full abstract] curve data. We model bacteria transport through porous media using fractional ADEs, and solve the resulting fractional initial value problem with forcing functions numerically.

A Linear Single Degree of Freedom Model for Acoustophoresis

March 2018

This paper presents a new modeling method for single node standing wave acoustophoresis. Acoustophoresis exploits the effect of acoustic radiation force on small particles. Particles are exposed to a standing acoustic wave field and they are forced to specific locations called pressure nodes or antinodes. A suspended particle in water, or in any other medium, will converge to such locations ... [Show full abstract] sooner or later. Particle properties determine the time required to reach the target location from the initial location, where both locations are known. Behavior of different particles in the same acoustic field enables those particles to be fractionated or separated by acoustic forces.

Dust concentration modeling for industrial operations

January 1970

A model has been developed to predict dust concentrations in industrial operations that use a recirculated air system. The model accounts for system airfow rates, multiple particle sources, fractional collector efficiencies, and fractional hood capture efficiencies in deterring the respirable dust concentration in the working zone. Three examples are considered. One of the examples is used for a ... [Show full abstract] parametric study of the recirculated air system. From these parametric studies, it has been found that the hood capture efficiency is the most important factor in the system when high-efficiency dust collectors are used. A 10% change in the hood capture efficiency may change the respirable dust concentration by as much as 50%.
