Effect of hydraulic retention time on performances of gravity-driven membrane (GDM) reactor for seawater pretreatment by Lee, Seonki, Nötzli, Peter Andreas, Burkhardt, Michael, Wu, Bing, Chong, Tzyy Haur

“…The results indicated that the GDM reactors at HRTs of 22 h and 102 h had relatively higher permeate flux and superior permeate quality (especially assimilable organic carbon, AOC) compared to that at HRT of 54 h. Extending HRT benefited to reduce irreversible fouling, but cake layer fouling was maximized at HRT of 54 h. …”

CO2 based multizone demand-controlled ventilation by Nandhini, Ramakrishnan

“…The proposed algorithm obtained by cascading fuzzy-logic based feedforward control and PID-based feedback control, controls airflow rate in a conditioned space by monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2) during occupied hours and maintains a minimum flow to dilute contaminants released by Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) inside a room, during unoccupied hours. Performance of the new control algorithm was verified and it was observed that the new algorithm achieves better performance than the standard PID control system, by maintaining CO2 levels at recommended standards and achieving thermal comfort.…”
