Neural Networks-based Process Model and its Integration with Conventional Drum Level PID Control in a Steam Boiler Plant
Dr Hadi Harb1 October, 2021
Controlling drum level is a major and crucial control objective in thermal power plant steam boilers. The drum level as a controlled variable is highly characterized by complex non-linear process dynamics as well as measurement noise and long-time delays. Developing a data-driven process model is particularly advantageous as it could...Read More
Statistical Analysis of Tribological Performance of Functionally Graded Copper Composite Using DOE
Dr Manu Sam19 September, 2021
Dry sliding performance of Cu-11Ni-4Si/10wt.%Al2O3 graded composite was investigated statistically and experimentally using pin-on-disc wear tester. Microstructural analysis revealed maximum gradient concentration of ceramics towards the inner radial wall of developed composite. The wear analysis was based on Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array and Regression models, at tribo-parameters (load-15, 25, 35 N, slide...Read More

A Study on Sensor System Latency in VR Motion Sickness
Dr Akhlaqur Rahman6 August, 2021
One of the most frequent technical factors affecting Virtual Reality (VR) performance and causing motion sickness is system latency. In this paper, we adopted predictive algorithms (i.e., Dead Reckoning, Kalman Filtering, and Deep Learning algorithms) to reduce the system latency. Cubic, quadratic, and linear functions are used to predict and...Read More
