Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Consortia from Taptapani Hot Water Springs for Mining Effluent TreatmentPoonam Nasipuri, Gauri G. Pandit, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon Ray ChaudhuriProblem statement: Soluble sulfate load in effluent is a crucial problem from mining industries. The study involved isolation of efficient Sulfate Reducing Bacterial (SRB) consortium from hot water spring for bioremediatrion of sulfate contaminated waste water. Approach: The enriched bacterial consortium was isolated in medium DSMZ 16695. The sulfate reduction efficiency was measured by turbidometric method. The Km and Rmax … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Bulldozer's Engine Load Factor on Fuel Consumption, CO2 Emission and CostVladislav Kecojevic, Dragan KomljenovicProblem statement: Bulldozers consume a large amount of diesel fuel and consequently produce a significant quantity of CO2. Environmental and economic cost issues related to fuel consumption and CO2 emission represent a substantial challenge to the mining industry. Approach: Impact of engine load conditions on fuel consumption and the subsequent CO2 emission and cost was analyzed for Caterpillar bulldozers. Results … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 9,136 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractObject Oriented Modeling of Thermostatically Controlled Devices for Cold Load Pick-upAlexandre de Assis Mota, Lia Toledo Moreira Mota, Claudia Cotrim PezzutoProblem statement: During service restoration, the power level at buses can significantly differ from the one presented under steady-state conditions, demanding an amount of electric power significantly higher than the normal load. Hence, their post-outage behavior must be adequately forecasted in order to permit the development of reliable restoration plans, or to avoid inadequate actions that may lead to a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2011 · 6,847 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Polypropylene Fibers on the California Bearing Ratio of Air Cured Stabilized Tropical Peat SoilBehzad Kalantari, Bujang B.K. Huat, Arun PrasadProblem statement: Peat soil is well known to deform and fail under a light surcharge load and is characterized with low shear strength, high compressibility and high water content. With the rising demand from the construction industry, utilization of these soils is required and suitable technique needs to be found out for stabilizing them. Approach: Model study had been carried … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelaxation of Residual Stress Part 2: Relaxation of Stage 2Omar Suliman Zaroog, Aidy Ali, B.B. Sahari, Rizal ZahariProblem statement: Compressive residual stress induced by surface treatment such as shot peening increased component’s fatigue life. However the initial induced residual stresses relax during component operating life and it is important to consider the relaxation in the design. Approach: In this study, a 2024-T351 aluminum alloy specimens were shot peened into three shot peening intensities condition to induce compressive … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,997 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForecasting Peak Load Electricity Demand Using Statistics and Rule Based ApproachZ. Ismail, A. Yahya, K. A. MahpolProblem statement: Forecasting of electricity load demand is an essential activity and an important function in power system planning and development. It is a prerequisite to power system expansion planning as the world of electricity is dominated by substantial lead times between decision making and its implementation. The importance of demand forecasting needs to be emphasized at all level as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,936 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElectric Power System Under-Voltage Load Shedding Protection Can Become a TrapLuiz Augusto Pereira Fernandes, Alexandre Rocco, Heraldo Silveira Barbuy, Geraldo Caixeta GuimarãesProblem statement: Under-Voltage Load Shedding (UVLS) protection of Electric Power Systems (EPS) is frequently used against Voltage Collapse (VC), however when there is automatic bus voltage regulation with excessive capacitive compensation, the UVLS scheme may not trip. In this case, load shedding must be based in a Voltage Collapse Proximity Indicator (VCPI). Many UVLS procedures may not be appropriate today. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2009 · 7,203 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of the Performance of Single-Phase Capacitor-Run Induction MotorMahdi Salman AlshamasinThe aim of the study was to suggest optimal solution for the impact of harmonics on the performance of Capacitor-Run Motor (CRM), the most commonly used single-phase motor. Therefore, investigations were carried out over the entire slip from no-load condition up to the locked-rotor condition, for harmonics of various orders in the case of using Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) speed control. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,479 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVoltage Collapse Risk Associated to Under-Voltage Capacitive Compensation in Electric Power System OperationHeraldo Silveira Barbuy, Alexandre Rocco, Luiz Augusto Pereira Fernandes, Geraldo Caixeta GuimarãesProblem statement: In the operation of an Electric Power System (EPS), it has been usual to provide reactive power injection to avoid an under-voltage bus condition. In some situations an adequate voltage profile will not be a guarantee against Voltage Collapses (VCs) that may cause blackouts as seen in many occurrences around the world. The repeatedly injection of reactive power … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,253 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRobust Decentralized Load Frequency Control Using Multi Variable QFT Method in Deregulated Power SystemsSeyed Abbas Taher, Reza HemattiThe Load Frequency Control problem has been a major subject in electrical power system design/operation and is becoming more significant recently with increasing size, changing structure and complexity in interconnected power systems. In practice LFC systems use simple proportional-integral controllers. However, since the PI control parameters are usually tuned based on classical or trial-and-error approaches, they are incapable of obtaining … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 7,088 accessesView PDFCite
