Viscosity estimation for slags containing calcium fluoride

Based on recently published experimental data, the Riboud model was modified for viscosity estimation of the slags containing calcium fluoride. The estimated values were in good agreement with measured data. Reasonable estimation can be achieved using the modified Riboud model for mould fluxes and ESR (eletro slag remelting) slags. Especially for ESR slags, the modified Riboud model can provide much more precise values than the original Riboud model.

Hybrid simulation and optimization-based design and operation of integrated photovoltaic generation,storage units,and grid

Unlike fossil-fueled generation, solar energy resources are geographically distributed and highly intermittent, which makes their direct control extremely difficult and requires storage units as an additional concern. The goal of this research is to design and develop a flexible tool, which will allow us to obtain (1) an optimal capacity of an integrated photovoltaic (PV) system and storage units and (2) an optimal operational decision policy considering the current and future market prices of the electricity. The proposed tool is based on hybrid (system dynamics model and agent-based model) simulation and meta-heuristic optimization. In particular, this tool has been developed for three different scenarios (involving different geographical scales), where PV-based solar generators, storage units (compressed-air-energy-storage (CAES) and super-capacitors), and grid are used in an integrated manner to supply energy demands. Required data has been gathered from various sources, including NASA and TEP (utility company), US Energy Information Administration, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, commercial PV panel manufacturers, and publicly available reports. The constructed tool has been demonstrated to (1) test impacts of several factors (e.g. demand growth, efficiencies in PV panel and CAES system) on the total cost of the integrated generation and storage system and an optimal mixture of PV generation and storage capacity, and to (2) demonstrate an optimal operational policy.     

Investigation on the thermal decomposition of aged La2O3

The thermal decomposition process of air-aged La203 in argon atmosphere was studied using nonisothermal TG-DSC. X-ray diffraction and TG-DSC analysis showed that the aged powder was composed of La（OH）3 with small amounts of oxycarbonate. The decomposition process of air-aged La2O3 involves the two-step decomposition of La（OH）3 and the decomposition of oxycarbonate. The kinetic analysis of the two-step decomposition of La（OH）3 was carried out using Coats-Redfern and isoconversion （Ozawa） methods. The kinetics of the two-step decomposition can be described in terms of the nucleation and growth model A （m=1.5, m is the model parameter） and A （m=2.5）, respectively. The apparent activation energy for the first step is 136-144 （Coats-Redfern） and 137-164 kJ/mol （isoconversion）. The apparent activation energy for the second step is 191-194 （Coats-Redfern） and 186-213 kJ/mol （isoconversion）.     

Experimental study on upward bubble velocity and pierce length distributions in a water model of copper converter

The upward bubble velocity and the pierce length distributions in a sectional water model of the copper converter in Guixi Smelter in Jiangxi, China, were measured using a two-contact electro-resistivity probe. In the case of using a single tuyere, the bubble velocity distribution along longitudinal direction was similar to that derived from Guassian function. Beyond the center of the longitudinal range, the bubble pierce length exhibited a sudden increase. The upward bubble velocity at a specified location could go up to meters per second. Its probability at a fixed location obeys a lognormal function; the bubble pierce length there varies bellow a few centimeters. In the case of using multi-tuyeres, the upward bubble velocity was roughly uniform right above the tuyeres and showed a slow decrease beyond this region. The bubble pierce length within both of these two regions was roughly uniform. Its average value in the former region, however, was found to be somewhat lower than that in the later.     

Observer-based backstepping dynamic surface control for stochastic nonlinear strict-feedback systems

An observer-based dynamic surface control approach is proposed for a class of stochastic nonlinear strict-feedback systems in order to solve the problem of ‘explosion of complexity’ in the backstepping design; that is, the dynamic surface control approach is extended to the stochastic setting. The circle criterion is applied to designing a nonlinear observer, and so no linear growth condition is imposed on nonlinear functions depending on system states. It is proved that the closed-loop system is semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded in fourth moment, and the ultimate boundedness can be tuned arbitrarily small. Two examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme proposed in this paper.
