Second law analysis of a gravity-driven liquid film flowing along an inclined plate subjected to constant wall temperature
(
Inderscience Publishers
, 2014 , Article)
The second law analysis of a gravity-driven liquid having temperature-dependent viscosity and flowing along an inclined heated plate was studied. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package FLUENT was used to obtain the ...
Generation of a phonetic transcription for modern standard Arabic: A knowledge-based model
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
This paper outlines a comprehensive system for automatically generating a phonetic transcription of a given Arabic text which closely matches the pronunciation of the speakers. The presented system is based on a set of ...
TLP bonding of Ti-6Al-4V and Mg-AZ31 alloys using pure Ni electro-deposited coats
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
Transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding of Mg-AZ31 and Ti-6Al-4V alloys was performed using pure thin Ni electro-deposited coat interlayer (12 μm). The effect of bonding temperature, time and pressure on microstructural ...
Fault detection and isolation of a dual spool gas turbine engine using dynamic neural networks and multiple model approach
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper, a fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme for an aircraft jet engine is developed. The proposed FDI system is based on the multiple model approach and utilizes dynamic neural networks (DNNs) to accomplish ...
Multiple sensor fault diagnosis by evolving data-driven approach
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Sensors are indispensable components of modern plants and processes and their reliability is vital to ensure reliable and safe operation of complex systems. In this paper, the problem of design and development of a data-driven ...
Inference engine based on closure and join operators over Truth Table Binary Relations
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Abstract We propose a conceptual reasoning method for an inference engine. Starting from a knowledge base made of decision rules, we first map each rule to its corresponding Truth Table Binary Relation (TTBR), considered ...
Experimental investigation of the influence of grain geometry on residual NAPL using synchrotron microtomography
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2014 , Article)
The objective of this work was to investigate the impact of grain geometry (size and shape) of porous media on the morphology of residual NAPL. Synchrotron microtomography was used to obtain maps of residual NAPL in ...
A new tracking technique for mechanical angle measurement
(
Elsevier
, 2014 , Article)
Resolvers and other types of sine/cosine encoders are used for measurement of mechanical angles. These devices produce quadrature signals in the form of sine and cosine of the unknown angle, and require converters to extract ...
Continuous-Time ΣΔ ADC with Implicit Variable Gain Amplifier for CMOS Image Sensor
(
Hindawi Publishing Corporation
, 2014 , Article)
This paper presents a column-parallel continuous-time sigma delta (CTSD) ADC for mega-pixel resolution CMOS image sensor (CIS). The sigma delta modulator is implemented with a 2nd order resistor/capacitor-based loop filter. ...
PLM maturity evaluation and prediction based on a maturity assessment and fuzzy sets theory
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2014 , Article)
Companies adopt PLM maturity models to evaluate PLM implementation and recognize relative positions in PLM selection to better harness PLM benefits. However, the majority traditional PLM maturity models are relative ...
