Disturbance of Thermodynamic Equilibrium of the Quartz-Water System and Silica Separation from the Liquid Phase at a Small Temperature Gradient
Abstract In electric furnaces destined for experimental geochemical investigations, a small temperature gradient (TG) always exists, and it is difficult to avoid it. In our electric furnaces (from bottom to top) the temperature rises in the lower...

Optimized Control of Pressure Reducing Valves in Water Distribution Networks with Dynamic Topology
Abstract A dynamic topology aggregates zones in water distribution networks (WDNs) for improved pressure management and resilience to failure. Based on a sequential convex programming (SCP) approach, we propose an optimization method for the control ...

Application of a Risk-Based Probabilistic Model (CCSvt Model) to Value Potential Risks Arising from Carbon Capture and Storage
Abstract Over the past decade, carbon capture and storage (CCS) has moved from the planning phase to experimental phase (e.g., Alabama Gulf Coast-Plant Barry and Illinois Basin-Decatur), but has yet to be implemented at a commercial scale from an...

Experimental Investigation of the Filling and Draining Processes of the Drainback System (Part 1)
Abstract Drainback systems (DBS) were developed in the Netherlands in the 1980's, due to governmental regulations regarding potable water quality. The crucial attribute of drainback systems is the draining of the working fluid from the collector -...

Towards a Calculus of Echo State Networks
Abstract Reservoir computing is a recent trend in neural networks which uses dynamical perturbations in the phase space of a system to compute a desired target function. We show one can for- mulate an expectation of system performance in a simple...

Performance Enhancement of a Solar Trough Power Plant by Integrating Tower Collectors
Abstract Parabolic troughs and power towers are state-of-the-art commercial technologies and all of the commercial plants are stand alone. For a solar trough power plant, the operating temperature is limited to 400°C for the stability of oil, which...

Design philosophy and practice of asymmetrical 3D fracturing and random fracturing: A case study of tight sand gas reservoirs in western Sichuan Basin
Abstract At present two technical models are commonly taken in tight gas reservoir stimulation: conventional massive fracturing and SRV fracturing, but how to select a suitable fracturing model suitable for reservoir characteristics is still a...
