A Hierarchical Constrained Reinforcement Learning for Optimization of Bitumen Recovery Rate in a Primary Separation Vessel
Download2020-01-01
Shafi, Hareem, Velswamy, Kirubakaran, Ibrahim, Fadi, Huang,Biao
This work proposes a two-level hierarchical constrained control structure for reinforcement learning (RL) with application in a Primary Separation Vessel (PSV). The lower level is concerned with servo tracking and regulation of the interface level against variances in ore quality by manipulating...

Henein, H., Bogno, A.-A., Hearn, W., Valloton, J.
Cubic metallic alloys generally grow along 〈100〉 directions due to the anisotropy of the solid-liquid interfacial energy. Under rapid solidification conditions, dendrites may deviate from 〈100〉 and develop unusual morphologies. Here, Al-alloy droplets (Al-4.5Cu, Al-10Si, Al-1.9Fe, Al-33Cu, all in...
