The multisolute osmotic virial equation is the only multisolute thermodynamic solution theory that has been derived from first principles and can make predictions of multisolute solution behaviour in the absence of multisolute solution data. Other solution theories either (i) include simplifying...

This paper investigates amorphous phase formation and rapid solidification characteristics of a CoCr alloy. High cooling rate and high undercooling-induced rapid solidification of the alloy was achieved by impulse atomization in helium atmosphere. Two atomization experiments were carried out to...

A non-ideal osmotic equilibrium equation is proposed as a replacement for the Boyle van’t Hoff equation to describe the equilibrium volume of a living cell as a function of external osmolality. Contrary to common understanding, the Boyle van’t Hoff equation is only valid for ideal, dilute...

Leistenschneider, Desirée, Zuo, Peiyuan, Kim, Yuna, Abedi, Zahra, Ivey, Douglas G., de Klerk, Arno, Zhang, Xuehua, Chen, Weixing
The development of inexpensive carbon fiber precursors is necessary to meet the future demands of carbon fibers. This work shows how asphaltenes, which are obtained as a by-product in bitumen production, can play an important role as such inexpensive carbon fiber precursors. To synthesize carbon...

A Long-Short Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network Based Reinforcement Learning Controller for Office Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems
Download2017-08-18
Yuan wang, Kirubakaran Velswamy, Biao Huang
Energy optimization in buildings by controlling the Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is being researched extensively. In this paper, a model-free actor-critic Reinforcement Learning (RL) controller is designed using a variant of artificial recurrent neural networks called...

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...

Spinelli, J.E., Hearn, W., Bogno, A.-A., Henein, H.
Understanding the influence of rapid solidification conditions on the formed microstructure is important to determine how process conditions affect the final mechanical properties. In this work the rapid solidification of hypoeutectic and hypereutectic Al-xSi (x=10wt. %, 18wt %) alloys was...
