The mathematical modeling of a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system is discussed in detail for the Skarstrom cycle of two-bed process. The system is used to get pure oxygen product from the air with the use of zeolite 13X as an adsorbent. There are complex partial differential equations (pdes) which may not solve by analytical methods. There is no provision for solving it in any other software other than Matlab. All the equations are rearranged and written into dimensionless quantities, to make it easier. It is a novel technique of solving these complex PDEs. After that we have converted these PDEs into ODEs (Ordinary Differential Equations) by using OCFE (Orthogonal Collocation on Finite Elements) method. Now, these ODEs can be solved using different solvers like ode23, ode45, ode113, ode15s, ode23s, ode23t, ode23tb. The results obtained by this model will be compared to real industrial data.

Spray Angle Expansion Method of a Twin-Fluid Atomizer for the Application to ...IJRES Journal
This paper presents the results of an experimental study for a new type twin-fluid atomizer, which is based on a multi fluids mixer patented by Sadatomi & Kawahara (2012). This atomizer has a simple structure and can suck water by itself without a pump by introducing pressurized air alone into an internal mixing chamber with less energy consumption. The present study focuses on the improved design of the atomizer for spray angle expansion and its application to CO2 absorption. Experiments relating to two angle expansion methods (Coanda effect and propellers) were conducted, also six sizes of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) propellers were tested. We found that, the atomizer with a PET propeller of 4 blades and 25 mm in diameter showed the best spray angle expansion effect and presented a good spray quality, especially reduced the Sauter mean diameter (d32) significantly. Finally, the mist sprayed by the optimized atomizer was applied to CO2 absorption, and experimental results showed that the mist sprayed by the optimized atomizer can significantly decrease the CO2 concentration in a closed room.
Dewatering Waste Activated Sludge Using Greenhouse-Gas Flotation followed by ...Medhat Elzahar
The aim of this study is to develop a simple method
for dewatering waste-activated sludge (WAS) for easier reuse
and safer disposal of sludge. The paper builds on the success of
a new flotation technique developed in previous research by the
author utilizing the high water solubility of CO2 gas along with
the model-gas (80%N2+20%CO2). The paper introduces a
simple laboratory model for dewatering WAS in two stages,
flotation followed by centrifugation. The first stage enables
recycling a mixture of greenhouse gases containing 20% of CO2
and 80% of N2 gases by volume. The second stage uses a simple
centrifuge model for dewatering WAS. Experiments were
carried out to reduce the moisture content and volume of WAS.
This was executed by generating low pressure using centrifugal
force introduced by a simple centrifuge apparatus. Using the
experimental dewatering model, promising results were
obtained for dewatering WAS. Furthermore, additional data
were obtained, such as the effect of temperature on the
efficiency of dewater-ability. It is hoped that the results of this
study will lead to more study for the efficient reuse of
greenhouse gases. This can happen by collecting and recycling
industrial emissions of fossil fuels then utilizing them in
wastewater and sludge treatment, thereby decreasing the
resulting harmful effects of these gases on global warming.

The effect of solids on the behaviour of the downcomer of a jameson celleSAT Journals
Abstract The effect of solids on the behaviour of the downcomer of a Jameson cell was studied in terms of the hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the solids. Hydrophobic (carbon), and hydrophilic (silica sand) solids were used, separately. The experiments were carried out under controlled conditions of gas flow rate, pulp flow rate, and pulp consistency. The observed operating variables were the extension of the downcomer operating regions (pulp jet, mixing, and collection) and gas hold-up. It was observed that gas bubbles are smaller and more uniform in size when the pulp is comprised of silica (hydrophilic particles), as compared with pulps consisted of carbon (hydrophobic particles). When measuring a profile of gas holdup in the separation cell, experimental results show that a more homogeneous radial holdup distribution is achieved in the case of a slurry with silica sand rather than the pulp made of carbon. Key words: Jameson cell, downcomer, separation cell, superficial phase velocity, gas hold-up, hydrophobic solids, hydrophilic solids.

Making model of dual axis solar tracking with Maximum Power Point Trackingijsrd.com
Now a days solar harvesting is more popular. As the popularity become higher the material quality and solar tracking methods are more improved. There are several factors affecting the solar system. Major influence on solar cell, intensity of source radiation and storage techniques The materials used in solar cell manufacturing limit the efficiency of solar cell. This makes it particularly difficult to make considerable improvements in the performance of the cell, and hence restricts the efficiency of the overall collection process. Therefore, the most attainable maximum power point tracking method of improving the performance of solar power collection is to increase the mean intensity of radiation received from the source used. The purposed of tracking system controls elevation and orientation angles of solar panels such that the panels always maintain perpendicular to the sunlight. The measured variables of our automatic system were compared with those of a fixed angle PV system. As a result of the experiment, the voltage generated by the proposed tracking system has an overall of about 28.11% more than the fixed angle PV system. There are three major approaches for maximizing power extraction in medium and large scale systems. They are sun tracking, maximum power point (MPP) tracking or both.

Reducing Silicon Real Estate and Switching Activity Using Low Power Test Patt...ijsrd.com
Power dissipation is a challenging problem for today's system-on-chip design and test. This paper presents a novel architecture which generates the test patterns with reduced switching activities; it has the advantage of low test power and low hardware overhead. The proposed LP-TPG (test pattern generator) structure consists of modified low power linear feedback shift register (LP-LFSR), m-bit counter, gray counter, NOR-gate structure and XOR-array. The seed generated from LP-LFSR is EXCLUSIVE-OR ed with the data generated from gray code generator. The XOR result of the sequence is single input changing (SIC) sequence, in turn reduces the switching activity and so power dissipation will be very less. The proposed architecture is simulated using Modelsim and synthesized using Xilinx ISE9.2.The Xilinx chip scope tool will be used to test the logic running on FPGA.
Defending Reactive Jammers in WSN using a Trigger Identification Service.ijsrd.com
In the last decade, the greatest threat to the wireless sensor network has been Reactive Jamming Attack because it is difficult to be disclosed and defend as well as due to its mass destruction to legitimate sensor communications. As discussed above about the Reactive Jammers Nodes, a new scheme to deactivate them efficiently is by identifying all trigger nodes, where transmissions invoke the jammer nodes, which has been proposed and developed. Due to this identification mechanism, many existing reactive jamming defending schemes can be benefited. This Trigger Identification can also work as an application layer .In this paper, on one side we provide the several optimization problems to provide complete trigger identification service framework for unreliable wireless sensor networks and on the other side we also provide an improved algorithm with regard to two sophisticated jamming models, in order to enhance its robustness for various network scenarios.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10

Abstract— The mathematical modeling of a Pressure Swing
Adsorption (PSA) system is discussed in detail for the
Skarstrom cycle of two-bed process. The system is used to
get pure oxygen product from the air with the use of zeolite
13X as an adsorbent. There are complex partial differential
equations (pdes) which may not solve by analytical
methods. There is no provision for solving it in any other
software other than Matlab. All the equations are rearranged
and written into dimensionless quantities, to make it easier.
It is a novel technique of solving these complex PDEs. After
that we have converted these PDEs into ODEs (Ordinary
Differential Equations) by using OCFE (Orthogonal
Collocation on Finite Elements) method. Now, these ODEs
can be solved using different solvers like ode23, ode45,
ode113, ode15s, ode23s, ode23t, ode23tb. The results
obtained by this model will be compared to real industrial
data.
I. INTRODUCTION
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is a common
process technique for purification of gas and for the
separation of gas mixtures. A large variety of binary and
multi component gas mixtures are commercially separated
using this technology. This extraordinary progress has been
possible due to the development of tailor-made adsorbents
for given separations and various sophisticated cycles
employing multiple beds which improve the performance of
the process. The adsorption plants consist of several fixed-
bed absorbers and are operated as cyclic multistep
processes, i.e. the coupling between the different adsorbers
is changed by switching valves from one cycle step to the
next. Thereby, a periodical operation is realized for the
adsorption process. A major characteristic of pressure swing
adsorption plants are nonlinear waves travelling forwards
and backwards within the fixed-beds due to the change in
flow direction. The cycle time as well as the duration of the
cycle steps considerably affects the product concentration,
because they determine the extent of breakthrough of a
concentration front. Therefore, the cycle times have to be
considered as manipulating variables [1, 8].
Air separation is being done to get the oxygen
or nitrogen or both as pure product. Oxygen and nitrogen
can produced from atmospheric air by either cryogenic
distillation (CD) of liquefied air or adsorptive methods such
as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) depending upon the
volume of production. It is well known that atmospheric air
contains impurities such as water vapor (up to 3%), carbon
dioxide (about 350 ppm), and traces of light hydrocarbons
(up to a few ppm). Since the freezing points of H2O and CO2
are well above the cryogenic temperatures of liquefied air,
there is a distinct possibility of occluding the distillation
column internals if the air is supplied to the cryogenic
distillation unit in its crude form [10]
. Besides, owing to the
insolubility of hydrocarbons in liquid oxygen, there is a
danger of their accumulation in the reboiler of the
distillation column thus posing an explosion hazard. In case
of noncryogenic processes such as pressure swing
adsorption, impurities such as water vapor and carbon
dioxide are found to adsorb strongly, and to some extent,
irreversibly on the adsorbents used for the separation of air.
II. AIR SEPARATION
An air separation plant separates atmospheric air into its
primary components, typically nitrogen and oxygen, and
sometimes also argon and other rare inert gases. There are
various technologies that are used for the separation
processes; the most common is via cryogenic distillation.
Cryogenic Distillation Process:A.
This process was pioneered by Dr. Carl von Linde in the
early 20th century and is still used today to produce high
purity gases. The cryogenic separation process requires a
very tight integration of heat exchangers and separation
columns to obtain a good efficiency and all the energy for
refrigeration is provided by the compression of the air at the
inlet of the unit. In addition to the cryogenic distillation
method there are other methods such as Membrane, Pressure
Swing Adsorption (PSA) and Vacuum Pressure Swing
Adsorption (VPSA), which are typically used to separate a
single component from ordinary air. Production of high
purity oxygen, nitrogen, and argon which are used
for Semiconductor device fabrication requires cryogenic
distillation, though. Similarly, the only viable sources of
the rare gases like neon, krypton, and xenon are the
distillation of air using at least two distillation columns.
Cryogenic ASU's are built to provide nitrogen and/or
oxygen and often co-produce argon where liquid products
(Liquid nitrogen "LIN", Liquid oxygen "LOX", and Liquid
argon "LAR") can only be produced if sufficient
refrigeration is provided for in the design.
PSA Process:B.
After compacted and purified to remove oil, water and
dust, environmental air will enter the pressure swing
adsorption device composed by 2 adsorption towers

equipped with carbon molecular sieve. The compressed air
flow from bottom to top, the nitrogen will be adsorbed by
adsorbents like 13X, 10X, 4A, 5A, LiX, LiLSX, LiAgX etc.,
and oxygen will flow out from top adsorption tower and
enter the raw oxygen buffer tank. After a period of time, the
adsorbent will be saturated by nitrogen adsorbed, which
needs to be regenerated. The regeneration will be achieved
by stopping adsorption and decreasing the pressure of
adsorption tower [2, 3]. The two adsorption towers will be
on adsorption and regeneration alternatively, to guarantee
the continuous output of oxygen.
With the pressure swing adsorption gas separation
technology, the gas will be separated according to the
different adsorption ability of the gas on adsorbent at
different pressure. It has such advantages as simple process,
easy to manufacture, small floor area, quick response,
simple to operate and maintain, strong adaptability, high
automation, low operating cost and low investment [9].
III. MATHEMATICAL MODEL
Modelling of packed bed is the main part of any
PSA process model. A simple two-bed process operated on
a Skarstrom cycle is considered, as shown in the fig 1. It
consists of two fixed-bed adsorbers undergoing a cyclic
operation of four steps: (1) adsorption, (2) blow down, (3)
purge, and (4) pressurization. By employing a sufficiently
large number of beds and using more complicated
procedures in changing bed pressure, PSA may be carried
out as a continuous process. Hence packed bed models of
various rigors have been developed first and models for any
PSA process embodiment and operating conditions are
developed using these packed bed models as unit modules.
Additional steps such as co-current
depressurization and pressure equalization have been added
to improve the purity and recovery of products as well as to
make the process more energy-efficient. A common feature
of all PSA processes is that they are dynamic, i.e. they have
no steady state. After a sufficiently large number of cycles,
each bed in the process reaches a cyclic steady state (CSS),
in which the conditions in the bed at the end of a cycle are
approximately the same as those at the beginning of the next
cycle [7].

Modelling of adsorption/desorption during flow in aA.
packed bed
The mathematical model of adsorption/desorption during
flow in a packed bed of adsorbent involves mass balance
equations over a differential element in the bed [3, 4]. A
number of simplifying assumptions have been made for a
two bed process.
Assumptions:1)
1. The system is considered to be isothermal.
2. The ideal gas law applies.
3. Frictional pressure drop through the bed is
negligible.
4. Total pressure in the bed is assumed constant
during adsorption and purge steps.
5. During pressurization and blow down, the total
pressure in the bed varies linearly with time.
6. The fluid velocity within the bed during adsorption
and desorption varies along the length of the
column, as determined by the mass balance.
7. The flow pattern is represented by the axial
dispersion model.
8. The equilibrium relationship for both components
is represented by binary Langmuir isotherm.
9. It is assumed that argon and oxygen have the same
equilibrium isotherms and therefore, the ratio of
argon/oxygen remains the same as in the feed.
10. The mass transfer rate is represented by a
linearized driving force (LDF) expression.

Solution TechniquesB.
The above equations are stiff partial differential equations
(PDEs) with derivatives in time and space along with the
boundary conditions. So, the manual solution of the above
PDEs is very difficult and may not be solved by any
analytical method. To overcome that problem, these stiff
PDEs are converted into ordinary differential equations
(ODEs).
There are several methods available to convert the
PDEs into ODEs [8]
. They are listed below:
1) The Finite Difference (FD) technique
2) Orthogonal Collocation (OC)
3) Orthogonal Collocation on Finite Elements (OCFE)
4) The Galerkin Finite Element (GFE) technique
All the above mentioned methods have different
applications based on the type of the PDEs. This model is
solved by some authors with the use of FD and OC method.
The converted ODEs are being solved using different
software packages. The most used packages are Visual
Basic and Matlab. The result which are obtained by these
methods are little different from the literature data.
IV. A NOVEL TECHNIQUE
As mentioned in the above section, the conversion &
solution of the PDEs are difficult. To make it simpler, the all
equations are converted into dimensionless quantity and
then apply the OCFE technique to convert the PDEs into
ODEs [7]
. The conversed equations are solved using Matlab
software with use of ode15s solver. The main thing is that
the velocity is assumed to be constant for convenience. The
equations from 1 to 10 except the equation number 6 are
converted into dimensionless form after substituting the
different values from equations. The dimensionless
equations are listed below:
The main equations is
( ) ( )
The Boundary Conditions for pressurization, adsorption and
purge are
At ξ = 0 ; ( )
At ξ = 1 ; ( )
The Boundary Conditions for Blowdown is
At ξ =0 ; ( )
At ξ = 1 ; ( )
The Initial Condition is
C = 1; Q = 1 ( )
These set of equations are now converted into the ODEs
with use of OCFE method [8]
. According to the method, the
bed length is divided into numbers of finite elements and
each element is divided into two or three OC points. In our
case, we have taken two finite elements and there are two
OC points in each element. So, there are total 7 points for
our range of ξ from 0 to 1. Each point has its own equations.
The set of OCFE equations are listed below:
At point 2;

Boundary conditions are,

Here, we have three algebraic equations and four differential
equations which we have to solve simultaneously. The
manual solution may not be possible and sometimes may not
be accurate. Because of this, the above equations will be
solved using Matlab software.
V. FUTURE WORK
As we have discussed in the above section, the solution will
be achieved by Matlab. To solve the above equations, the
ode15s solver in the Matlab software will be used. The
obtained result will be compared with the experimental data
which was taken by doing experiments in the company
named Air-n-gas process technologies at vatva, Ahmedabad.
