Abstract

Most of existing adaptive control  schemes are designed to minimize error  between  plant  state  and  goal  state  despite  the  fact  that  executing  actions that are predicted to result in smaller errors only can mislead  to non-goal states. We develop an adaptive control scheme that involves manipulating a controller of  a  general  type  to  improve  its  performance  as  measured  by  an  evaluation function. The developed method is closely related  to a theory of Reinforcement Learning (RL) but imposes a practical assumption made for faster learning. We assume  that  a  value  function  of  RL  can  be  approximated  by  a  function  of Euclidean distance from a goal state and an action executed at the state. And, we propose  to  use  it  for  the  gradient  search  as  an  evaluation  function.  Simulation results provided through application of the proposed scheme to a pole -balancing problem using a linear  state feedback controller and fuzzy controller verify the scheme’s efficacy.

Abstract

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with negative pulse corona discharge for removal of submicron particles in the exhaust gas of thermal equipment such as boilers, burners or internal combustion engines is presented. A wire-cylinder ESP was designed and constructed for experimental testing at laboratory scale. The collection efficiency of submicron particles in the exhaust gas of a diesel burner under various dust loadings and gas velocities was investigated. The results were compared with those obtained from the conventional DC ESP technique. It was found that the pulse peak voltage supply could be set much higher than the sparking limit of the DC energized unit. Thus, the electric field density could be increased, which resulted in a higher collection efficiency. The higher pulse frequency also increased the collection efficiency, especially for submicron particles.

Abstract

The acid failure of aluminium alloy in 2 M hydrochloric acid solution in the presence of Vernonia amygdalina extract was investigated using gasometric technique. Aluminium alloy coupons of dimension 4 cm by 1 cm were immersed in test solutions of free acid and also those containing extract volumes of 2, 3, 4 and 5 cm3 at ambient temperature for 30 minutes. The volumes of hydrogen gas evolved as a result of the rate of reaction were recorded and analyzed. Analysis revealed that maximum inhibitor efficiency which corresponds to the lowest corrosion rate was obtained at optimum inhibitor volumes of 5 cm3, with reduction in the corrosion rate observed to follow in order of increasing extract volumes. Adsorption study revealed that Temkin isotherm best described the metal surface interaction with the extract phytochemicals, with 12 minutes becoming the best exposure time for the phytochemicals  to adsorb to the metal surface at all volumes. Statistical modelling of the corrosion rate yielded an important relationship suitable for estimating corrosion rate values once volumes of the extract is known. Microstructural studies, showed an indirect relationship between crack growth rates and extract volumes, while consistency of the irregular intermetallic phases increases with increasing extract volumes.

Abstract

The interaction of the affective has emerged in implicit human-computer interaction. Given the physiological signals in the recognition process of the affective, the different positions by which the physiological signal sensors are installed in the body, along with the daily habits and moods of human beings, influence the affective physiological signals. The scalar product matrix was calculated in this study based on metric multidimensional scaling with dissimilarity matrix. Subsequently, the matrix of individual attribute reconstructs was obtained using the principal component factor. The method proposed in this study eliminates day dependence, reduces the effect of time in the physiological signals of the affective, and improves the accuracy of affection classification.

Abstract

Papandayan volcano located in the southern part of Garut regency, around 70 km away from Bandung city, West Java. Many methods carried out to monitoring the activities of volcano, both continuously or periodically, one of the monitoring method is periodically GPS survey. Basically those surveys are carried out to understand the pattern and velocity of displacement which occurred in the volcano body, both horizontally and vertically, and also others deformation elements such as; translation, rotation and dilatation. The Mogi modeling was also used to determine the location and volume of the pressure source which caused deformation of volcano body. By comparing seismic activity and the deformation reveal from GPS measurement, before, during and after eruption, it could be understood there is a correlation between the seismicity and its deformation. These studies is hoping that GPS measurement in Papandayan volcano could be one of supported method to determine the volcano activities, at least in Papandayan volcano.

Abstract

Mariculture (marine aquaculture) has been intensified and has created essential  employment  opportunities  over  the  last  two-decades  in  Indonesia,  as well as many other countries in the world. This development has negative impact to  the  environment.  Considerable  amounts  of  nutrient  waste  in  dissolved  and particulate  form  were  released  by  intensive  fish  farming  into  the  environment through  feed  excess,  soluble  fish  excretion  and  faeces  production.  One  of  the first steps to  avoid the dangerous environmental impacts is careful site selection to  minimize  environmental  impacts  arising  from  the  farming  activities (sustainability) as well as to guarantee adequate conditions from the operational point of view (suitability).The paper focuses on the development of a Decision Support System  (DSS) as a tool for the appropriate selection of mariculture   site location. The DSS is based on  physical,  chemical  and  sediment  criteria  as  well  as  on  data  of  conflicting coastal use. The GIS analysis results in a map indicating the suitable areas for the improved  method  of  offshore  cage  mariculture.  In  this  study,  emphasis  was placed on finfish species; however the methods and results may be employed for other species as well following some modifications.The DSS was applied for the  western part of Java Sea, Indonesia. The data were acquired  from  direct  field  measurement,  numerical  modeling  and  existing information  from  particular  agencies.  Numerical  modeling  was  used  to  obtain spatial  and  temporal  distributions  of  hydrodynamic  parameters  (i.e.  current velocities  and  water  levels).  The  Delft3D  modeling  system  (Delft  Hydraulics, The Netherlands) was employed for this purpose. The DSS was developed under GIS  application  of  ESRI®  ArcGIS™  using  weighted  overlay  method.  The results  showed  the  adequacy  of  the  system  for  supporting  governmental authorities in the implementation, environmental controlling, and estimation  of overall carrying capacity for environmental sustainable marine fish farming.

Abstract

The capillary tube is an important control device used in small vapor compression refrigeration systems such as window air-conditioners, household refrigerators and freezers. This paper develops a non-dimensional correlation based on the test results of the adiabatic capillary tube for the mass flow rate through the tube using a hydrocarbon refrigerant mixture of 89.3% propane and 10.7% butane (HCM). The Taguchi method, a statistical experimental design approach, was employed. This approach explores the economic benefit that lies in studies of this nature, where only a small number of experiments are required and yet valid results are obtained. Considering the effects of the capillary tube geometry and the inlet condition of the tube, dimensionless parameters were chosen. The new correlation was also based on the Buckingham Pi theorem. This correlation predicts 86.67% of the present experimental data within a relative deviation of -10% to +10%. The predictions by this correlation were also compared with results in published literature.

Abstract

Direct Torque Control (DTC) has gained popularity for development of  advanced  motor  control  due  to  its  simplicity  and  offers  fast  instantaneous torque  and  flux  controls.  However,  the  conventional  DTC  which  is  based  on hysteresis  controller  has  major  drawbacks,  namely  high  torque  ripple  and variable  inverter  switching  frequency.  This  paper  presents  an  improved switching strategy for reducing flux and torque ripples in DTC of PMSM drives; wherein  the  torque  hysteresis  controller  and  the  look-up  table  used  in  the conventional  DTC  are  replaced  with  a  constant  frequency  torque  controller (CFTC)  and  an  optimized  look-up  table,  respectively.  It  can  be  shown  that  a constant switching frequency is established due to the use of the CFTC while the reduction of torque and flux ripples is achieved mainly because of the selection of optimized  voltage  vector (i.e.  with an optimized  look-up  table).  This paper also  will  explain  the  construction  of  DTC  schemes  implemented  using MATLAB-Simulink  blocks.  Simulation  results  were  shown  that  a  significant reduction of flux and torque ripples which is about 90% can be achieved through the proposed DTC scheme.

Abstract

Results of seismic studies presented in previous publications depict two opposing subducted oceanic lithospheric slabs under the Molucca region. This unique structure is related to the arc-arc collision between the Halmahera and Sangihe arcs. Recently, we have revisited the complex subduction zone structure by employing a non-linear tomographic imaging technique in which 3-D ray tracing has been implemented. We have used P- as well as S-wave arrival times from carefully reprocessed global data set. The results provide some improvements in the positioning of wave-speed anomalies. Consistent with earlier results, the new P-wave model depicts the two opposing subducted slabs of the Molucca Sea plate. The intriguing new observation is that the westward dipping slab appears to penetrate into the lower mantle by taking the form of folded slab. We envisage that the folding behavior may have been caused by the shift of the whole subduction system in the Molucca region toward the Eurasian continent due to the westward thrust of the Pacific plate combined with the large left-lateral movement of the Sorong fault. The inversion of traveltime residuals of direct S phases strongly confirms the new observation.
