The heat exchanger is a device used to transfer heat energy between two fluids, hot and cold. In this work, an output feedback adaptive sliding mode controller is designed to control the temperature of the outlet cold water for plate heat exchanger. The measurement of the outlet cold temperature is the only information required. Hence, a sliding mode differentiator was designed to estimate the time derivative of outlet hot water temperature, which it is needed for constructing a sliding variable. The discontinuous gain value of the sliding mode controller is adapted according to a certain adaptation law.

Abstract

In this study, mucilage was extracted from Malabar spinach and tested for drag-reducing properties in aqueous liquids flowing through pipelines.  Friction produced by liquids flowing in turbulent mode through pipelines increase power consumption. Drag-reducing agents (DRA) such as polymers, suspended solids and surfactants are used to reduce power losses. There is a demand for natural, biodegradable DRA and mucilage is emerging as an attractive alternative to conventional DRAs. Literature review revealed that very little research has been done on the drag-reducing properties of this mucilage and there is an opportunity to explore the potential applications of mucilage from Malabar spinach. An experi

The flexible joint robot (FJR) typically experiences parametric variations, nonlinearities, underactuation, noise propagation, and external disturbances which seriously degrade the FJR tracking. This article proposes an adaptive integral sliding mode controller (AISMC) based on a singular perturbation method and two state observers for the FJR to achieve high performance. First, the underactuated FJR is modeled into two simple second-order fast and slow subsystems by using Olfati transformation and singular perturbation method, which handles underactuation while reducing noise amplification. Then, the AISMC is proposed to effectively accomplish the desired tracking performance, in which the integral sliding surface is designed to reduce cha

Flexible joint robot (FJR) manipulators can offer many attractive features over rigid manipulators, including light weight, safe operation, and high power efficiency. However, the tracking control of the FJR is challenging due to its inherent problems, such as underactuation, coupling, nonlinearities, uncertainties, and unknown external disturbances. In this article, a terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) is proposed for the FJR system to guarantee the finite-time convergence of the systems output, and to achieve the total robustness against the lumped disturbance and estimation error. By using two coordinate transformations, the FJR dynamics is turned into a canonical form. A cascaded finite-time sliding mode observer (CFTSMO) is construct

            Environmentally friendly copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were prepared with a green synthesis route via Anchusa strigosa L.  Flowers extract. These nanoparticles were further characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM techniques. Removing of Gongo red from water was applied successfully by using synthesized CuO NPs which used as an adsorbent material. It was validated that the CuO NPs eliminate Congo red by means of adsorption, and the best efficiency of adsorption was gained at pH (3). The maximum adsorption capacity of CuO NPs for Congo red was observed at (35) mg/g. The equilibrium information for adsorption have been outfitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin and Halsey adsorption isot

The writings of famous French novelist Antoine de Saint- Exupery being describes his life and his career as a pilot. That's where aviation and modern means of transport at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is also through his writings that tainted documentary chronicled the history of occupied France by the Germans in World War II. Has contributed to the publication of documents and real events and attended by military missions. However, before he died, wrote us a novel immortal  "The Little Prince ", which is quite different from previous writings in terms of dependence entirely on the imagination. And are almost close to science fiction to fact that the hero falls to the ground in a vague, of a small asteroid. We are tryi

Bodas de sangre es una tragedia en verso del escritor Federico García Lorca escrita en 1932, y estrenada el 8 de marzo de 1933 en el teatro Beatriz de Madrid con gran éxito tanto en España como en Hispanoamérica. Fue llevada al cine por Carlos Saura en 1981. Es una producción poética y teatral que se centra en el análisis de un sentimiento trágico. Desde la vida y la muerte, a lo antiguo y lo moderno, en la manera de ver la tragedia. Todo ello enmarcado en un paisaje andaluz trágico y universal.

   El tema principal que se trata en este drama es la vida y la muerte. Pero de un modo arcano y ancestral, en la que figuran mitos, leyendas y paisajes que introducen al lector en un mundo de

En este trabajo de investigación titulado, tratamos las bases científicas necesarias que debe seguir un crítico competente a la hora de elaborar un proceso critico extenso y preciso de las traducciones literarias de forma satisfactoria, teniendo en consideración mostrar los aspectos tanto lingüísticos como los extralingüísticos del texto original en comparación con el de meta. Actualmente el proceso crítico de las traducciones literarias se pone más importante a fin de aclarar posiciones débiles y de fuerza a las obras literarias y a sus traducciones.
