Design of thermometer wells involves strength and thermal considerations. Criteria for thermal evaluation have been well established, those for strength have not. This paper presents thermometer-well designs proposed for Power Test Code work. Forces imposed by static pressure, steady-state fluid impingement, vibration induced by Karman trail vortexes, and structure-borne vibration are discussed. Methods and equations are given to enable the selection of wells for given service conditions. Although these methods are confined to wells of Power Test Code design, the Appendix contains derivations of general equations that may be adapted for any cantilever-type thermometer well.

Modelling Task

A comparative study of several recently proposed one-dimensional sedimentation models has been made. This has been achieved by fitting these models to steady-state and dynamic concentration profiles obtained in a down-scaled secondary decanter. The models were evaluated with several a posteriori model selection criteria. Since the purpose of the modelling task is to do on-line simulations, the calculation time was used as one of the selection criteria. Finally, the practical identifiability of the models for the available data sets was also investigated. It could be concluded that the model of Takács et al. (1991) gave the most reliable results.

Genetic algorithms have been used to solve many water distribution system optimization problems, but have generally been limited to steady state or quasi-steady state optimization. However, transient events within pipe system are inevitable and the effect of water hammer should not be overlooked. The purpose of this paper is to optimize the selection, sizing and placement of hydraulic devices in a pipeline system considering its transient response. A global optimal solution using genetic algorithm suggests optimal size, location and number of hydraulic devices to cope with water hammer. This study shows that the integration of a genetic algorithm code with a transient simulator can improve both the design and the response of a pipe network. This study also shows that the selection of optimum protection strategy is an integrated problem, involving consideration of loading condition, device and system characteristics, and protection strategy. Simpler transient control systems are often found to outperform more complex ones.

This paper presents the development of two different control techniques as an approach having to remove steady-state error present in the response of attitude of a mini unmanned aerial vehicle. A problem that arises when performing pole placement controller is the selection of the poles, the Bessel approximation allows the selection of the eigenvalues in function to a specified response time for a feedback pole placement controller and state estimator (observer). On the other hand presents an optimal control technique combined with Kalman filter to estimate the state affected by perturbations in the system, both cases using the integral effect to eliminate the steady state error.These two control laws has the property of responding to a desired response according to a time or state response desired.

Research on the innovation process and its effective management has consistently highlighted a set of themes constituting "good practice". The limitation of such "good practice" is that it relates to what might be termed "steady state" innovation — essentially innovative activity in product and process terms which is about "doing what we do, but better". The prescription works well under these conditions of (relative) stability in terms of products and markets but is not a good guide when elements of discontinuity come into the equation. Discontinuity arises from shifts along technological, market, political and other frontiers and requires new or at least significantly adapted approaches to their effective management. This paper highlights empirical findings from a selection of companies involved in a project sponsored by the U.K. Department of Trade and Industry. The results indicate a number of key routines that organisations could implement to enable discontinuous innovation.

It is assumed that the QSOs are at cosmological distances as indicated by their emission-line redshifts. It is further assumed, as indicated by present evidence, that none of the 21 QSOs with emission-line redshifts, ze, of 2.0 ± 0.1 (or of the 30 with ze = 2.0 ± 0.2) is screened by an intervening normal galaxy. The simplest conclusion from these data is, then, that the screening probability must be less than 0.08 (or 0.06) at ze = 2.0. This, in turn, restricts allowable cosmological models in the (σ0, q0) diagram by providing lower limits for ß0 as a function of q0. One can also rank cosmological models in order of the probability that there be no screening of the 21 (or 30) objects. In either case the steady state model ranks higher than the general relativity models found by Peach to give the best fit in the (m – z) diagram.

Compressor Performance

This paper addresses the causal link first described by Smith between the unsteady flow induced by the rotor wakes and the compressor steady-state performance. As an initial step, inviscid flow in a compressor stage is examined. First of a kind numerical simulations are carried out to show that if the rotor wakes are mixed out after (as opposed to before) the stator passage, the time-averaged overall static pressure rise is increased and the mixing loss is reduced. An analytical model is also presented and shown to agree with the numerical results; the model is then used to examine the parametric trends associated with compressor design parameters.
