Membrane fouling index such as Silt Density Index (SDI) and Modified Fouling Index (MFI) is an important parameter in design of the integrated RO/NF membrane processes for drinking water treatment. In this study, the effect of particle, membrane and feed water characteristics on membrane fouling index were investigated systematically. Higher fouling index values were observed when filtering suspensions with smaller particle size and higher feed particle concentration. Larger membrane resistance due to smaller pore size resulted in an increased membrane fouling index. The variations of feed water hardness and TDS concentrations did not show any impact on fouling index, suggesting that there were no significant colloidal interactions among particles and thus the porosity of particle cake layer accumulated on the membrane surface could be assumed to be 0.36 according to random packing density. Based on the experimental observations, fundamental membrane fouling index model was developed using Happel Cell. The effect of primary model parameters including particle size ($a_p$), particle concentration ($C_o$), membrane resistance ($R_m$), were accurately assessed without any fitting parameters, and the prediction of membrane fouling index such as MFI exhibited very good agreement with the experimental results.

The estimation of the strength and other mechanical parameters characterizing the tensile behavior of granites can play an important role in civil engineering tasks such as design, construction, rehabilitation and repair of existing structures. The purpose of this paper is to apply data mining techniques, such as multiple regression (MR), artificial neural networks (ANN) and support vector machines (SVM) to estimate the mechanical properties of granites. In a first phase, the mechanical parameters defining the complete tensile behavior are estimated based on the tensile strength. In a second phase, the estimation of the mechanical properties is carried out from different combination of the physical properties (ultrasonic pulse velocity, porosity and density). It was observed that the estimation of the mechanical properties can be optimized by combining different physical properties. Besides, it was seen that artificial neural networks and support vector machines performed better than multiple regression model.

Considerable interest has evolved in the flow of non-Newtonian fluids in channels of noncircular cross section in compact heat exchanges. Analytical solution was developed for prediction of the flow rate and maximum velocity in steady laminar flow of any incompressible, time-independent non-Newtonian fluids in straight closed and open channels of arbitrary, but axially unchanging cross section. The geometric parameters and function of shear describing the behavior of the fluid model were evaluated for fluid flow among a bundle of rods arranged in triangular and square array. Numerical values of dimensionless maximum velocities, mean velocities, pressure-drop-flow parameters and friction factors were evaluated as a function of porosity and pitch-to-radius ratio.

The addition of chemical inert filler in blended cement, such as limestone or chemical inert silica fume, will produce a physical effect on cement hydration. Due to the high surface area of inert filler in the mixtures, it provides sites for the nucleation and growth of hydration products, thus improving the hydration rate of cement compounds and consequently increasing the strength at early age. This paper proposes a model of hydration of Portland cement blended with chemical inert filler. This model considers the influence of water to cement ratio, cement particle size, cement composition and addition of chemical inert filler on hydration. The heat evolution, degree of hydration and porosity are obtained as accompanied results in hydration process. The prediction results agree well with experiment results.

Supplementary cementing materials (SCM), such as silica fume, slag, and low-calcium fly ash, have been widely used as mineral admixtures in high strength and high performance concrete. Due to the chemical and physical effect of SCM on hydration, compared with Portland cement, hydration process of cement incorporating SCM is much more complex. This paper presents a numerical hydration model which is based on multi-component concept and can simulate hydration of cement incorporating SCM. The proposed model starts with mixture proportion of concrete and considers both chemical and physical effect of SCM on hydration. Using this proposed model, this paper predicts the following properties of hydrating cement-SCM blends as a function of hydration time: reaction ratio of SCM, calcium hydroxide content, heat evolution, porosity, chemically bound water and the development of the compressive strength of concrete. The prediction results agree well with experiment results.

Effects of each acoustic property on absorption characteristics of polyester fiber materials has been studied in this paper. It would be impossible for us to measure effects of each acoustic property by experimental method since we cannot make sound-absorbing materials in which only one of the properties is changed. We have adopted a numerical prediction method to carry out parameter studies for each acoustic property. And to get a general behavior of acoustic performance of the materials, the numerical simulation has been repeated to several cases of different bulk density. Finally we have obtained frequency-dependent control factors in the absorption performance which gives us design capability of acoustic absorbing materials.

In this paper, an integrated system is proposed which can evaluate both the early-age properties and durability performance of concrete structures. This integrated system starts with a hydration model which considers both Portland cement hydration and chemical reactions of supplementary cementing materials (SCM). Based on the degree of hydration of cement and mineral admixtures, the amount of reaction products, the early age heat evolution, chemically bound water, porosity, the early age short-term mechanical behaviors, shrinkage and early-age creep are evaluated as a function of curing age and curing conditions. Furthermore, the durability aspect, such as carbonation of blended concrete and chloride attack, are evaluated considering both the material properties and surrounding environments. The prediction results are verified through experimental results.

Convection-dominated melting in a rectangular cavity is analyzed numerically with particular attention to the multi-cellular flows in the melt. At the earlier stage of the melting, the melt region is quite similar to a cavity with high aspect rati71, where the multi-cellular natural convection appears. Numerical results show that the formation and evolution of the multiple flow cells in the melt region is approximately similar to t]tat of a single-phase flow in a tall cavity with the same aspect ratio; however, the continuous change of the melt region due to the melting affects the detailed process. Also, numerical aspects for the prediction of the detailed flow structure in the melt are discussed.

Several mathematical models describe the compressive behaviour of different types of concretes, but no specific one for foamed cellular concrete (FCC) has been developed. In this work, simple compression tests on FCC specimens of different mixes were conducted to study this material's compression behaviour curve until failure. Using continuous load and displacement measurement equipment, it was possible to obtain stress-strain curves up to peak for FCC of different strengths (from 1.20 to 47.34 MPa). Elastic modulus, compressive strength and failure strain values were also determined. Through the analysis of the mentioned curves, a mathematical model of them was obtained, through which it is possible to describe the compression behaviour of FCC up to failure. The comparison between the predicted curve against experimental data shows the effectiveness of the proposed model.

일반 납축전지는 차량의 시동 성능 위주로 최적 설계되어 있다. 최근 차량 전장 시스템과 납축전지를 활용한 연비기술 적용의 증가로 납축전지의 사용 빈도가 늘어나고 있다. 연비기술 적용은 납축전지의 잦은 충방전 반응을 일으켜 납축전지 내구 수명을 단축시키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 납축전지의 노화 수명 모델 구현을 통해 배터리 내구 수명을 예측하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 납축전지의 노화에 영향을 미치는 요인은 방전율, 충전 시간, 완충 시간, 온도 조건 등이 있다. 본 논문에서는 납축전지의 동적 거동을 예측하기 위하여 전기화학반응 속도론, 이온의 전달현상, 전극 공극률의 시간에 따른 변화를 고려하였다. 수명 예측을 위해서 노화 메커니즘 중 노화에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 극판 부식 현상과 활물질 탈락을 노화 모델링에 반영하였다. 개발된 납축전지의 노화 모델을 검증하기 위하여 납축전지의 가속 충방전 시험을 수행하였다.
