Research ArticleOpen accessThermo-Acoustic Water Analyzer in Hydrocarbon Emulsions with Kalman FilterMohammad A. Al-Khedher, Tariq M. Younes, Mohammad A.K. AliaProblem statement: Water detection in hydrocarbon emulsions represents a serious challenge in petroleum production industry. The elemenation of measurment noises is also desired. Approach: In this study, a systematic and an applicable method of water detection in hydrocarbon emulsion is achieved using thermoacoustic effect. A Kalman filter is applied to correct measurement errors and to improve accuracy. Results: The study … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 6 Mar 2012 · 7,316 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessCustom Design of an Analogue Input Digital Output Interface Card for Small Size PLCsMohammad A.K. AliaThis paper describes the design and implementation of an interface card (IC) with analogue input and digital output, designed for use with small size PLCs, which do not support interface features. The absence of generic I/O interface modules due to the differences in PLCs design and software, validates the importance of such work. The IC costs about one third of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2007 · 6,442 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessUsing PLC for Custom-design of a PID/PWM Program to Control a Heater TemperatureMohammad A.K. AliaThis is a practical approach to control a continuous-time process variable (temperature) using a discrete controller (PLC) and a custom-designed software control algorithm and hardware interface, in a closed-loop system. Unlike the conventionally known technique of transforming a digital control action into a proportional analogue one by a D/A converter followed by power amplifier, the control action was formed internally … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 7,662 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessInvestigation of An Acoustic Temperature Transducer and its Application for Heater Temperature MeasurementMohammad A.K. Alia, Tariq Al MograbiRecent developments in temperature measurement have encouraged researchers to develop low-cost, simple structure, computerized generic transducers for environmental monitoring and industrial process control. The research presents a computerized technique which allows to measure temperature according to the variation of acoustic velocity (frequency) in a closed waveguide. Signal conditioning and processing was carried out using labVIEW (G Language) VIs. In order … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 5 · 31 May 2007 · 6,817 accessesView PDF Cite
