Описание: Advances in Engineering Research. Volume 20 begins by analyzing the extraction and separation protocols documented for the saponins from family caryophyllaceae during the period 1967-2014. Analyses of applied extraction and separation protocols of saponins were carried out to determine the most practiced protocols in the study period and to identify eventual trends between protocols, plant material and structural traits of saponins. Next, the authors discuss a 2-D analytical modeling and simulation of Permanent Magnet Induction Generator which is used widely in renewable energy sources such as wind turbines, microhydro plants, and geothermal plants. The aim of the integrated spatial technology is discussed, and identified by the authors as, to combine remote sensing, geographical information systems and life cycle assessment, to ascertain the component or system within the agricultural production cycle, generating the most greenhouse gases. A subsequent chapter deals with modeling of a slip-ring induction motor, and includes two appendixes. The first appendix presents the inversing algorithm of the matrix which consists of four submatrices, and the second presents the algorithm of the inductance inverted matrix determination. The book goes on to discuss the entropy concept as it is applied to uncertainty analysis of systems whose services can be presented by random events. Next, the authors report on a thermo-fluid-dynamic analysis of the internal and external flowfield for a general aviation airplane nacelle, equipped with a small pusher turbine engine, with the purpose of determining the thermal field on the nacelle surface. This compilation attempts to identify the possible performance bottlenecks in the integration solution which deals with the UNIJUI University process of re-enrollment, so that they can be minimized before the solution implementation. Lastly, integration approaches and integration platforms available in the Cloud are reviewed, demonstrating the use of an integration platform by means of a case of study for a research outcomes and technological information management integration problem.

Описание: In Advances in Engineering Research. Volume 26, sodium dodecyl sulfate and hydroxy isopropyl chitosan are employed as modulation agents for crystallization of CaC2O4. The effects of these concentrations on the crystallization are investigated, and the CaC2O4 particles are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The authors examine a novel flash ironmaking technology, developed by Professor H.Y. Sohns research group at the University of Utah, which has shown promising results for the production of iron from iron ore concentrate with low energy consumption/greenhouse gas emissions. Computation fluid dynamics has been used to simulate the novel flash ironmaking process from the kinetics analysis of the results obtained in laminar-flow reactors to the laboratory scale Utah flash reactor and the large scale bench reactor. This collection goes on to review recent data on composite materials intended for repairing mechanochemical and technological damages of metallic pipelines. The technological aspects of repairing gas and oil pipeline surfaces and their joints and couplings in field conditions are analyzed, and methods used to improve the strength of the adhesive layer are considered. Next, several mega-structural projects for regulation of the economic and ecological impacts of global sea-level rise in the Mediterranean Sea Basin are detailed. In particular, one macro-project, a modernized installation sited within the Strait of Gibraltar composed of a single fabric submarine curtain and super-ropes, is closely examined in terms of its sea-level rise macro-problem solving suitability. Lastly, a new method based on subsampled contourlet transform and feature smoothing technique is presented for automatic classification of seabed square-size images. This new version of standard contourlet transform allows for the study of images with various resolution levels and directions. This proposed method is implemented using graphics processing unit capabilities to reduce execution time.

Описание: Advances in Engineering Research. Volume 24 begins with a discussion of solvent extraction, which is widely applied and has shown significant advances in the last four decades. The simplicity, speed and vast scope of solvent extraction are key in separation, purification and enrichment steps in many fields such as analytical chemistry, chemical engineering, and hydrometallurgy. Solvent extraction has become crucial in the intensification processes due to its excellent characteristics. Next, the authors review the on-road test and Real Driving Emissions, focusing on the main concepts, developments and future challenges, as well as presenting their shortcomings. The gap between regulated emissions from vehicle certification procedures and real-world driving has become increasingly wider, particularly for nitrogen oxides (NOx). Even though stricter emission regulations have been implemented, NOx emissions are dependent on specific, short-duration driving events which are difficult to account for. Therefore, high concentrations of these pollutants are still being measured in European cities. The following chapter presents a reverse engineering approach by utilizing laser scanning technology in cultural heritage in two case studies. An analytical methodology is presented revealing the step by step approach from scanning to prototyping, which is a part of the larger field of digital archeology. A variety of parties could benefit from the demonstration of such an analytical approach, including production engineers, three-dimensional CAD users and designers, archeologists and museum curators. This compilation also examines pressure tests conducted in EOR projects where heat has caused changes in the viscosity of the reservoir fluids, which creates a difference in mobility between two zones of the reservoir. Under those conditions, the reservoir becomes a composite with two different zones. Inaccurate results will be obtained if the well test interpretation is not conducted properly, so a practical methodology for the interpretation in such systems is presented. Later, the latest advances in the modeling of gas-solid reactions are described in detail, and a review is provided on the early approaches to the modeling of gas-solid reactions. It is concluded that there are two major groups of models: the pore models and the grain models. The main shortcomings of classical models are the assumption of a uniform initial microstructure and that the sintering effect is neglected. In conclusion, WiMAX or Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access, based on IEEE 802.16, is proposed as the standard for broadband wireless access (BWA) over a large metropolitan area. WiMAX has received widespread support from both the computer and telecom industries worldwide, making this technology particularly cost-effective. Flexible bandwidths and different modulation schemes enable WiMAX systems to adaptive change of the speed and capacity of the wireless connection based on the demand.

Описание: Advances in Engineering Research. Volume 25 examines the background of magnetic sensors within the field of traffic engineering. Starting off with an introduction to the principles of traffic detection and estimation, the authors study the design and development of a low cost, energy efficient multi-function wireless traffic earth magnetic sensors (EMS). Recommended sensor layout strategies are presented in an effort to reduce the investment cost and provide a decision-making basis for traffic management. Next, the authors present the main advantages of the vortex and highly turbulent flows and their implementation area in the chemical engineering. The technological scheme includes devices with active hydrodynamic regimes used in the granulation processes. The theoretical bases for the technological line of the devices with active hydrodynamic regimes is also presented. Piezoelectric materials were discovered many years ago, however, new compounds and fabrication techniques are continually explored in order to get the optimal and new properties. The authors discuss a new piezoelectric ceramic with Platinum implant that has been fabricated in recent years. The application possibilities of this ceramic are increased since there is a third electrode available which can be used to control its behavior. The analysis of the behaviour of Passive Magnetic Bearing (PMB) in order to achieve an acceptable magnetic force and stiffness is proposed as an interesting topic for rotating systems. In this compilation, numerical analysis, which is an effective method to investigate the structural parameters of PMB, is applied using Finite Element Method to the two-dimensional model of PMB. The closing paper presents a universal solution for the magnetic force interaction calculation between arbitrarily magnetized permanent ring magnets. The configuration contains two permanent ring magnets that correspond to the axial or radial passive magnetic bearing configuration, and the type of the bearing depends on the permanent magnets magnetization vector direction and the permanent magnets position.
