A comparative study on the treatment of synthetic kraft evaporator condensate and thermomechanical pulp (TMP) pressate between thermophilic (55°C) and mesophilic (30°C) temperature was conducted using sequencing batch ...

"Sensors have become integrated into control system, for either mechanical, optical, chemical, or biological applications. The new materials for the sensor designing, diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), are attractive ...

Cement-based stabilization/solidification (S/S) is a widely used technique to treat industrial wastes containing toxic metal ions before land disposal. To prevent the fast setting of the treated waste during its transportation ...

There has been a growing concern over energy consumption since the past decade mainly because of the soaring cost of energy and tight environmental laws and regulations. In this thesis a model based efficiency optimization ...

"To achieve closed cycle operation and subsequent reuse of treated effluent, individual streams of pulp and paper mill effluents are being evaluated for their suitability fur in-mill treatment. This thesis includes two ...

The Observabilty Range Space Extraction (ORSE) algorithm used to identify a an initially overparameterized discrete-time state-space model for a single-link flexible manipulator. A controller named PDPC is designed to ...

Resonant power converters have gained increased attention in industry due to various advantages over conventional pulse width modulation (PWM) converters. Resonant converters have improved transient response, reduced ...

Among various ac motors, induction motor (IM) occupies almost 90% of the industrial drives due to its simple, robust construction and generally satisfactory efficiency as compared to dc motor. However, the control of IM ...

The behaviour of a flexible-link robotic manipulator is studied using an experimental apparatus. The system is modeled based on the physical laws governing system dynamics. A non-linear rigid body model is developed which ...

In the last few years, there has been a growing concern in the occurrence of pharmaceutically active compounds in the aquatic environment. Just in Europe, more than 3000 prescription and non-prescription drugs are used by ...
