    Conductor Arrangement and Phase Sequence Optimization Scheme for 500 kV Four-Circuit Transmission Lines on Same Tower

    Deng Lu1, Xujun Lang1, Bo Yang1, Ziyang Li1, Hang Geng2,*

    Energy Engineering, Vol.120, No.10, pp. 2287-2306, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ee.2023.029140

    Abstract The four-circuit parallel line on the same tower effectively solves the problems faced by the line reconstruction and construction under the condition of the increasing shortage of transmission corridors. Optimizing the conductor and phase sequence arrangement of multiple transmission lines is conducive to improving electromagnetic and electrostatic coupling caused by electromagnetic problems. This paper uses the ATP-EMTP simulation software to build a 500 kV multi-circuit transmission line on the same tower. It stimulates the induced voltage and current values of different line lengths, tower spacing, vertical and horizontal spacing between different circuits, phase sequence arrangement, and nominal tower height. Moreover,… More >

    Multi-Material Topology Optimization for Spatial-Varying Porous Structures

    Chengwan Zhang1, Kai Long1,*, Zhuo Chen1,2, Xiaoyu Yang1, Feiyu Lu1, Jinhua Zhang3, Zunyi Duan4

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 369-390, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029876

    Abstract This paper aims to propose a topology optimization method on generating porous structures comprising multiple materials. The mathematical optimization formulation is established under the constraints of individual volume fraction of constituent phase or total mass, as well as the local volume fraction of all phases. The original optimization problem with numerous constraints is converted into a box-constrained optimization problem by incorporating all constraints to the augmented Lagrangian function, avoiding the parameter dependence in the conventional aggregation process. Furthermore, the local volume percentage can be precisely satisfied. The effects including the global mass bound, the influence radius and local volume percentage… More >

    Parameters Optimization and Performance Evaluation of the Tuned Inerter Damper for the Seismic Protection of Adjacent Building Structures

    Xiaofang Kang1,*, Jian Wu1, Xinqi Wang1, Shancheng Lei2

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 551-593, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029044

    Abstract In order to improve the seismic performance of adjacent buildings, two types of tuned inerter damper (TID) damping systems for adjacent buildings are proposed, which are composed of springs, inerter devices and dampers in serial or in parallel. The dynamic equations of TID adjacent building damping systems were derived, and the H2 norm criterion was used to optimize and adjust them, so that the system had the optimum damping performance under white noise random excitation. Taking TID frequency ratio and damping ratio as optimization parameters, the optimum analytical solutions of the displacement frequency response of the undamped structure under white… More > Graphic Abstract

    CFD-Based Optimization of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger

    Juanjuan Wang*, Jiangping Nan, Yanan Wang

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.11, pp. 2761-2775, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.021175

    Abstract The main objective of this study is the technical optimization of a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger (STHE). In order to do so, a simulation model is introduced that takes into account the related gas-phase circulation. Then, simulation verification experiments are designed in order to validate the model. The results show that the temperature field undergoes strong variations in time when an inlet wind speed of 6 m/s is considered, while the heat transfer error reaches a minimum of 5.1%. For an inlet velocity of 9 m/s, the heat transfer drops to the lowest point, while the heat transfer error reaches a… More >

    Optimization of Animal-Glue Binders for Casting Applications

    Tianshu Wang1, Guoqing Sun1, Shaojun Zhang1, Mingyu Wang1, Jixin Wang2, Yunwu Han3,*

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.11, pp. 2923-2932, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.028740

    Abstract In typical metal foundry applications, sand casting is still the most used technology. The related binder plays a very important role as its performances can directly influence the quality of castings. Among many binders, glues of animal origin have attracted much attention in recent years due to their reduced environmental impact. However, they display some drawbacks such as the tendency to coagulate easily at room temperature and a relatively low strength. In this study, a novel gas-hardening casting binder was prepared using an animal glue and anhydrous potassium carbonate as a hydrolyzing agent to avoid undesired agglomeration. Moreover, sodium pyrophosphate… More >

    Optimization of a Diesel Injector Nozzle

    Yaofei Zhang1, Guoxiang Li1, Shuzhan Bai1, Ke Sun1,*, Guihua Wang1,*, Yujie Jia2, Zhengxian Fang2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.11, pp. 2933-2951, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.028804

    Abstract Multiphase simulations based on the VOF (Volume of Fluid) approach, used in synergy with the cavitation Schnerr-Sauer method and the K-Epsilon turbulence model, have been conducted to study the behavior of an injector nozzle as a function of relevant structural parameters (such as the spray hole diameter and length). The related performances have been optimized in the framework of orthogonal experimental design and range analysis methods. As made evident by the results, as the spray hole diameter increases from 0.10 to 0.20 mm, the outlet mass flow rate grows by 243.23%. A small diameter of the spray hole, however, has… More >

    A Sensor Network Coverage Planning Based on Adjusted Single Candidate Optimizer

    Trong-The Nguyen1,2,3, Thi-Kien Dao1,2,3,*, Trinh-Dong Nguyen2,3

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.3, pp. 3213-3234, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.041356

    Abstract Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are widely used for various practical applications due to their simplicity and versatility. The quality of service in WSNs is greatly influenced by the coverage, which directly affects the monitoring capacity of the target region. However, low WSN coverage and uneven distribution of nodes in random deployments pose significant challenges. This study proposes an optimal node planning strategy for network coverage based on an adjusted single candidate optimizer (ASCO) to address these issues. The single candidate optimizer (SCO) is a metaheuristic algorithm with stable implementation procedures. However, it has limitations in avoiding local optimum traps in… More >

    Nitin Mittal1, Rohit Salgotra2,3, Abhishek Sharma4, Sandeep Kaur5, S. S. Askar6, Mohamed Abouhawwash7,8,*

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.3, pp. 3159-3177, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.041059

    Abstract The optimization of cognitive radio (CR) system using an enhanced firefly algorithm (EFA) is presented in this work. The Firefly algorithm (FA) is a nature-inspired algorithm based on the unique light-flashing behavior of fireflies. It has already proved its competence in various optimization problems, but it suffers from slow convergence issues. To improve the convergence performance of FA, a new variant named EFA is proposed. The effectiveness of EFA as a good optimizer is demonstrated by optimizing benchmark functions, and simulation results show its superior performance compared to biogeography-based optimization (BBO), bat algorithm, artificial bee colony, and FA. As an… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.3, pp. 3125-3142, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.040643

    Abstract Accurate and rapid detection of fish behaviors is critical to perceive health and welfare by allowing farmers to make informed management decisions about recirculating the aquaculture system while decreasing labor. The classic detection approach involves placing sensors on the skin or body of the fish, which may interfere with typical behavior and welfare. The progress of deep learning and computer vision technologies opens up new opportunities to understand the biological basis of this behavior and precisely quantify behaviors that contribute to achieving accurate management in precision farming and higher production efficacy. This study develops an intelligent fish behavior classification using… More >
