This study proposes a controller that compensates torque error for precise angular velocity tracking and a method to compensate the stability of controller in implementation. Also, it is proved that the designed controller can be asymptotically stable based on Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed controller is able to control the d-axis reference current to arbitrary values and easily achieve control performance with two gains. As a result of applying to IPMSM of about 750W class, the steady state error with reference speed 1200 [RPM] is within 0.1 [%]. And it can be seen that it is an asymptomatic stable controller overcoming disturbance within about 0.2 second in application of constant load of about 5 [Nm].

In order to achieve high performance vector control, it is essential to measure accurate ac current. The errors generated from current path are inevitable, and they could be divided into two categories: offset error and scaling error. The current data including these errors cause periodic speed ripples which are one and two times of stator electrical frequency respectively. Since these undesirable ripples bring about bad influences to motor driving system, a compensation algorithm must be needed in the control algorithm of the motor drive. In this paper, a new compensation algorithm is proposed. The signal of the integrator output of the d-axis current regulator is chosen and processed to compensate the current measurement errors. The compensation of the current measurement errors is easily implemented to smooth the signal of the integrator output of the d-axis current regulator by subtracting the DC offset value or rescaling the gain of the hall sensor. Therefore, the proposed algorithm has several features: the robustness of the variation of the mechanical parameters, the application of the steady and transient state, the easy implementation, and less computation time.

In electric cable industries, the curing extent of the rubber materials covering the electric cores gives an significant effect on their final performance. The curing extent of rubber is controlled mostly by pull-out velocity of cable in the extrusion process. The final curing extent may be different for different radial positions inside the rubber because of the non-uniform temperature distributions during the curing process. In this contribution, the prediction of curing extent distribution throughout the radial direction of rubber is represented when the cable is passing through the steam curing zone with a fixed pull-out velocity. The prediction of the optimum pull-out velocity for the desired curing extent distribution is also reported. The steady-state heat balance was developed for the curing and cooling processes in which the pull-out rubber was cured by high temperature steam and then cooled by ambient water. A few essential material properties such as density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity were measured to analyze the temperature distribution during the curing and cooling processes. The times to reach 90% curing extent at varying temperatures were measured and used to determine the final cure extent distribution inside the rubber.

The Kalina cycle simulation study was carried out for a preliminary design of a geothermal power generation system. The Kalina cycle system can be used for the utilization of a low-temperature heat sources such as geothermal and industrial waste heat that are not hot enough to produce steam. The sea/river water can be considered as a cooling media. A steady-state simulation model was developed to analyze and optimize its performance. The model contains a turbine, a pump, an expansion valve and heat exchangers. The turbine and pump were modelled by an isentropic efficiency, while a condenser, an evaporator and a regenerative heat exchanger were modeled by UA-LMTD method with a counter-flow assumption. The simulation results show that the power generation efficiency over 10% is expected when a heat source and sink inlet temperatures are $100^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ respectively.

The steady-state, incompressible and three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out to evaluate the internal flow fields characteristics of wind tunnel contractions made by Morel's curve equations. The turbulence model used in this study is a realizable ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ well known to be excellent for predicting the performance of the flow separation and recirculation flow as well as the boundary layer with rotation and strong back pressure gradient. As a results, when the flow passes through the interior space of the analytical models, the flow resistance at the inlet of the plenum chamber is the largest at $Z_m=300$, 400 mm, but the smallest at $Z_m=700mm$. The maximum turbulence intensity in the test section is about 2.5% when calculated by the homogeneous flow, so it is improved by about 75% compared to the 10% turbulence intensity at the inlet of the plenum chamber due to the contraction.

Based on the space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) theory, this paper realizes an easier SVPWM strategy, which is equivalently implemented by CBSPWM with zero-sequence voltage injection. The traditional SVPWM strategy has no effect on controlling the neutral-point voltage balance. In order to solve the neutral-point voltage unbalance problem for neutral-point-clamped (NPC) three-level inverters, this paper proposes a neutral-point voltage balance controller. The proposed controller realizes controlling the neutral-point voltage balance by dynamically calculating the offset superimposed to the three-phase modulation waves of an equivalent SVPWM strategy. Compared with the traditional SVPWM strategy, the proposed neutral-point voltage balance controller has a strong ability to balance the neutral-point voltage, has good steady-state performance, improves the output waveforms quality and is easy for digital implementation. An experiment has been carried out on a NPC three-level inverter prototype based on a digital signal processor-complex programmable logic device (DSP-CPLD). The obtained experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed neutral-point voltage balance controller.

While structured packing modules are known to be efficient for surface wetting and gas-liquid exchange in abiotic surface catalysis, this model study explores structured packing as a growth surface for catalytic biofilms. Microbial biofilms have been proposed as selfimmobilized and self-regenerating catalysts for the production of chemicals. A concern is that the complex and dynamic nature of biofilms may cause fluctuations in their catalytic performance over time or may affect process reproducibility. An aerated continuous trickle-bed biofilm reactor system was designed with a 3 L structured packing, liquid recycling and pH control. Pseudomonas diminuta established a biofilm on the stainless steel structured packing with a specific surface area of 500 $m^2m^{-3}$ and catalyzed the oxidation of ethylene glycol to glycolic acid for over two months of continuous operation. A steady-state productivity of up to 1.6 $gl^{-1}h^{-1}$ was achieved at a dilution rate of 0.33 $h^{-1}$. Process reproducibility between three independent runs was excellent, despite process interruptions and activity variations in cultures grown from biofilm effluent cells. The results demonstrate the robustness of a catalytic biofilm on structured packing, despite its dynamic nature. Implementation is recommended for whole-cell processes that require efficient gas-liquid exchange, catalyst retention for continuous operation, or improved catalyst stability.

In this paper, we evaluate synchronization techniques suitable for high-speed ATM satellite communications with a transmission rate of 155Mbit/s, and propose optimal algorithms that improve the tracking performance, where QPSK is selected for a modulation scheme, and the receiver is operated in burst mode. Based on these asumptions, we proposed modified algorithms and architectures for automatic frequency control(AFC), carrier recovery(CR), and symbol timing recovery(STR) for burst acquisition. Analysis is performed under AWGN environments with respect to the number of required symbol, steady-state stability, and hardware implementation for the proposed algorithms.

The permeation of gas through polymer membrane at temperatures above its glass transition, generally occurs by a solution-diffusion mechanism. This mechanism is performed by the affinity difference between polymeric materials and gas molecules, and various technologies, such as copolymerization, impregnation and so on, have been researched to improve the affinity of polymeric material for the gases. In this study, permeability and selectivity for some gases were obtained from steady-state rates of gas permeation through silicone rubber membrane which is prepared by supercritical fluid extraction method. The permeability was measured by the volumetric method proposed by Barrer. Permeability was increased generally with temperature and permeation pressure. Silicone rubber membrane shows a higher permeability to $CO_2$ than to $O_2$, $N_2$. This results probably reflect the relatively high solubility of CO_2 in silicone rubber membrane, which is due to the affinity of $CO_2$ molecules. Since separation powers of $CO_2/N_2$, $CO_2/O_2$ were more than 200, and 100, respectively, it is able to separate $CO_2$ from the air, and the optimum temperature and pres-sure was 328.15 K, 60 cmHg respectively. In future, it is possible that the silicone rubber membrane can be used for separation or concentration of $CO_2$ through experiment for mixed gas separation.

The objective of this paper is to develop variable sampling interval multivariate control charts that can offer significant performance improvements compared to standard fixed sampling rate multivariate control charts. Most research on multivariate control charts has concentrated on the problem of monitoring the process mean, but here we consider the problem of simultaneously monitoring both the mean and variability of the process.
