This paper presents a mathematical model of longitudinal dynamics of Gatimaan Express. It has one locomotive class WAP5, two generator vans, eight second class chair cars and two executive chair cars respectively. Forces associated with longitudinal dynamics of model are developed in Matlab/Simulink. Longitudinal and coupler forces as well longitudinal velocities are studied during the failure of coupler of 3rd (coach of middle train) second class chair. Validation of longitudinal velocity of the model is done by comparing simulated results with measured field data provided by Research Designs Standards Organization (RDSO), Lucknow, India.

Water is a fundamental necessity of life. Yet water supply and distribution networks the world over are old and lacking in adequate maintenance. Consequently they often leak as much water as they deliver and provide an unacceptable quality of service to the customer. In certain parts of the world, water is available only for a few hours of the day. The solution is to build a mathematical model to simulate the operation of the real network in all of its key elements and apply it to optimise its operation. To be of value, the results of the model must be compared with field data. This process is known as calibration and is an essential element in the construction of an accurate model. This paper outlines the optimum approach to building and calibrating a mathematical model and how it can be applied to automatic calibration systems.

This paper describes the work done in order to make Matlab Simulink based steam generator simulator in the simulation of a steam generator. The steam generator under this research is operated with the steam quality of 72%, O2 content is 1.2%, designed steam volume flow is 3600 barrel per day at a maximum and designed fuel gas volume flow is 1300 Thousand Standard Cubic Feet (MSCF) per day at a maximum. The simulator program of the steam generator is separated into individual components consisting of Burner, Radiant, Convection, Exhaust Stack, Feedwater Pump Discharge and Steam Discharge. Within the components, thermodynamics and heat transfer principles such as conduction, convection, radiation and also conservation of mass, momentum, and energy were applied to compute the pressure values, temperature values, and flow rate values of simulated field device based on the command and setpoint from PLC. The validation process has been done with the steam generator is operating in a steady state to the 10 important process parameters of the steam generator. The error percentage calculated from a difference between the simulation result value and the actual value from field data reference divide by actual value from field data reference. The error percentage results are as following : Fuel Gas Orifice Differential Pressure : 2.39%, Fuel Gas Pressure : 1.37%, Fuel Gas Temperature : 5.95%, Fuel Gas Flow Rate : 1.25%, Feedwater Orifice Differential Pressure : 1.94%, Feedwater Pressure : 1.54%, Feedwater Flow Rate : 0.92%, Steam Orifice Differential Pressure 3.26%, Steam Discharge Pressure 1.93% and Steam Quality : 0.05%.

The effects of soil temperature, moisture, and herbicide concentration on the rate of degradation of dinitramine (N4,N4-diethyl-α,α,α-trifluoro-3,5-dinitrotoluene-2,4-diamine) were measured in clay loam and sandy loam in the laboratory. In sandy loam, the rate of degradation increased with increasing temperature. In clay loam, the rate of degradation increased from 10 to 30 C and decreased at 40 C. Soil moisture content influenced the rate of degradation in the following order: 22>11>>2.2% (air-dry) for clay loam and 12.0 = 6.0>>0.5% (air-dry) for sandy loam. First-order half-lives ranged from 3.2 at 30 C to 47 weeks at 10 C in clay loam, and 2.3 at 40 C to 31 weeks at 10 C in sandy loam. Applications in 2 yr did not cause buildup of dinitramine in the field. A mathematical model was used in an attempt to correlate laboratory and field data.

A mathematical model of a new “full-bridge Buck inverter–DC motor” system is developed and experimentally validated. First, using circuit theory and the mathematical model of a DC motor, the dynamic behavior of the system under study is deduced. Later, the steady-state, stability, controllability, and flatness properties of the deduced model are described. The flatness property, associated with the mathematical model, is then exploited so that all system variables and the input can be differentially parameterized in terms of the flat output, which is determined by the angular velocity. Then, when a desired trajectory is proposed for the flat output, the input signal is calculated offline and is introduced into the system. In consequence, the validation of the mathematical model for constant and time-varying duty cycles is possible. Such a validation of this mathematical model is tackled from two directions: (1) by circuit simulation through the SimPowerSystems toolbox of Matlab-Simulink and (2) via a prototype of the system built by using Matlab-Simulink and a DS1104 board. The good similarities between the circuit simulation and the experimental results allow satisfactorily validating the mathematical model.

<span lang="EN-US">In this paper, virtual synchronous converter (VSCon) is modelled which behaves as synchronous generator including its all real-time characteristics in operating inverter. This VSCon is used to synchronize grid and inverter while integrating distributed generated power to microgrids. The frequency and voltage synchronization can be controlled by using synchronous generator mathematical model is installed into the inverter. The whole unit of VSCon operated is simulated in Matlab/Simulink for observing all consequences for synchronizing voltage, frequency and phase-angle. It is verified that the next generation energy resources can be integrated into microgrid making synchronization grid-inverter using VSCon. The simulation results are given to verify the concept of modelling VSCon functioning inverter as a synchronous generator. </span>

The leachate characteristics and clogging of the leachate collection system at the Keele Valley Landfill is examined using the numerical model “BioClog”. The calculated effluent leachate concentrations (e.g., the chemical oxygen demand and calcium concentrations) and calculated calcium fraction in the clog material are in encouraging agreement with measured field data. A new practical model is developed and calibrated against the data from the sophisticated numerical model to estimate the service life of leachate collection systems in typical municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The procedures for using the new practical model are provided and illustrated by examples. Design charts are presented that may aid the design of leachate collection systems for typical MSW landfills.
