Design and Experimental Validation of a Ducted Counter-rotating Axial-flow Fans System [PDF]
An experimental study on the design of counter-rotating axial-flow fans was carried out. The fans were designed using an inverse method. In particular, the system is designed to have a pure axial discharge flow.

Xenon Oscillation Control in Large PWRs Using a Characteristic Ellipse Trajectory Drawn by Three Axial Offsets [PDF]
We have proposed a very simple xenon oscillation control procedure for axial xenon oscillation control based on a characteristic trajectory. The trajectory is drawn by three offsets of power distributions, namely, AOp, AOi, and AOx, which are defined as the axial offset (AO) of power distribution, AO of power distribution under which the current iodine

Analysis of axial offset units with WWER-1000 in the mode of maneuvering
The article examines the impact of xenon transient processes in power programs for regulating WWER-1000 reactor on its stability and reliability. Xenon transient processes in the power maneuvering mode of NPP affect the reactivity change in the active ...

Identification and Optimal Control for Surge and Swab Pressure Reduction While Performing Offshore Drilling Operations [PDF]
In this paper, an unscented Kalman filter coupled with a nonlinear model-predictive controller for a hydraulic wellbore model with multi-variable control and tracking is presented. In a wellbore, high drill string velocities in operational sequences such

The paper deals with analyzing the influence of the methods for controlling power unit with the VVER-1000 power unit in a maneuverable mode on a quantitative measure of stability, namely on the size of axial offset. Automated systems for controlling power units with the VVER-1000 reactor in maneuvering with such control programs as: with a constant ...

Optimal Control Timing Search of Xenon Oscillations in Large PWRs Using a Characteristic Ellipse Trajectory Based on Three Axial Offsets [PDF]
We have proposed a simplified control procedure for axial xenon oscillations in large PWRs based on a characteristic ellipse trajectory method. However, this procedure cannot guarantee that the desired control rod position can be achieved when the xenon oscillation is terminated.

Offset free data driven control: application to a process control trainer [PDF]
This work presents a data driven control strategy able to track a set point without steady-state error. The control sequence is computed as an affine combination of past control signals, which belong to a set of trajectories stored in a process historian
