The article discusses the issue of automating the serial process of bleeding and control of the pitot- static system of passenger airplanes. A functional diagram and basic design of some parts of the combined equipment are proposed. This equipment makes it possible to alternate the above-mentioned operations with great effectiveness. At the system control stage, the pressure or vacuum in it is created by a pressure-vacuum pneumatic unit. This pneumatic unit consists of a compressor and a set of electromagnetic valves that allow the compressor to be connected to the pumping or scavenging line. The value of the generated pressure is regulated by the flow rate in the pressure/scavenging channel and in the venting channel. Simulation of changes in ambient temperature is achieved due to blowing heated or cooled air over the temperature sensors of the aircraft. Pressure or vacuum in the controlled system is created in turn, in each of its lines. At the expulsion stage, a compressed-nitrogen cylinder acts as the pressure source. The pressurized gas passes through the pitot and is released into the atmosphere, cleaning out the contaminations. No manual operations are required for installing and removing connection hoses after connecting the proposed combined equipment to the pitot-static system. Remote-controlled electromagnetic valves connect the channels of the controlled system to the pressure-vacuum pneumatic unit and the source of compressed nitrogen. This reduces the duration of successive operations for the systems maintenance.

AbstractPollution of groundwater requires the implementation of appropriate solutions which can be deployed for several years. The case of local groundwater contamination and its subsequent spread may result in contamination of drinking water sources or other disasters. This publication aims to design and demonstrate control of pumping wells for a model task of groundwater remediation. The task consists of appropriately spaced soil with input parameters, pumping wells and control system. Model of controlled system is made in the program MODFLOW using the finitedifference method as distributed parameter system. Control problem is solved by DPS Blockset for MATLAB & Simulink.

The need for a motor protection system can be well understood by the fact that motors are integral device in any of the present day industries. Malfunctioning or any other faults in motor can halt the functioning of such industries. This can cause huge financial losses. So an efficient motor protection system is necessary. The present research work deals with the application of Labview for motor protection system, which can constantly monitor and control, a large motor system. This paper presents a highly reliable approach towards protection of commonly used motors. Here we deal with different kinds of motor faults and detection of all these faults using NI LABVIEW™. The present paper will not only be helpful for industrial purposes but it can also be helpful for students to understand motor fault detection. The LABVIEW has been successfully applied to make an efficient motor protection system.

The need for a gas turbine training facility became apparent with the introduction into the U.S. Navy fleet of the first ships of the FFG7 Frigate and DD963 Destroyer Classes with gas turbine propulsion plants. This facility, constructed at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, provides "hands-on" training for maintenance and operation of marine gas turbines and associated propulsion plant components and controls and their piping and electrical systems. The Navy intends to train at this facility approximately 1000 personnel per year in the use of their latest and newest propulsion plants. The design of the facility reproduces as closely as possible the existing machinery and control spaces of the two different classes of ships and integrates them into a single main building with the school and the mechanical equipment wings. This paper presents an overview of the need for well-trained, qualified naval personnel to man the expanding fleet of marine gas turbine propulsion systems, existing training facilities and the various stages in the development of the FFG7/DD963 Gas Turbine Maintenance and Operational Training Facility. In regard to the facility, the paper discusses the planning and managing of the project; development of the designs for the building and propulsion plants; construction of the building facilities and FFG7 plant; the fabrication, transportation and erection of the FFG7 within the building; and the testing and operation of the FFG7 plant since light-off. Major emphasis is given to the FFG7 plant since the DD963 plant is being reconsidered in conjunction with the CG47 upgrading and is awaiting a decision to proceed.

Measurement And Control

Many real-world applications depend on temperature sensing and/or control. This includes a wide range of industrial processes, chemical reactors, and SCADA systems, in addition to other physical, mechanical, and biological systems. With the advancement of technology, it became possible to produce a new generation of smart and compact temperature sensors, which are capable of providing digital outputs that are more accurate, robust, and easily interfaced and integrated into measurement and control systems. This chapter first surveys traditional analog temperature sensors, such as RTDs and thermocouples, to provide a strong motivation for the need to adopt better and smarter techniques that mainly rely on digital technology (e.g., CMOS designs). Different interfacing techniques that do not need ADCs are introduced, including the programmable Arduino microcontrollers. Different applications will be explored that include automotive accessories, weather forecast, healthcare, industrial processing, firefighting, and consumer electronics. Both wired and wireless technologies, including the IoT, will be investigated as means for transmitting the sensed data for further processing and data logging. A special case study to provide information redundancy in industrial SCADA systems will be analyzed to illustrate the advantages and limitations of smart temperature sensors. The chapter concludes with a summary of the design effort, accuracy, performance, and cost effectiveness of smart temperature sensors while highlighting future trends in this field for different applications.

The Petri nets (PN)-based analytical approach to describing both the single agent behaviour as well as the cooperation of several agents in MAS (multi agent systems) is presented. PN yield the possibility to express the agent behaviour and cooperation by means of the vector state equation in the form of linear discrete system. Hence, the modular approach to the creation of the MAS model can be successfully used too. Three different interconnections of modules (agents, interfaces, environment) expressed by PN subnets are introduced. The approach makes possible to use methods of linear algebra. Moreover, it can be successfully used at the system analysis (e.g. the reachability of states), at testing the system properties, and even at the system control synthesis.

Subsea hot tapping of pipelines is performed for a variety of reasons, including tie-ins, pipeline repair, insertion of instrumentation, facilitating chemical injection or providing access for temporary isolation tools. The full hot tap process — that is, installing the hot tap assembly, performing the tap and recovering the hot tap machine — is normally conducted with diver assistance. After bolting the assembly of the machine, isolation valve and fitting to the pipeline (or machine and isolation valve to a pre-installed flanged membrane on the pipeline), the divers then operate the machine to perform the tap, under instructions from — and supervision — by hot tap technicians located on deck of the diving support vessel (DSV). Subsequent unbolting and removal of the hot tap machine is also carried out by the divers. The demands of deep water have necessitated development of a totally diver-less, remote-controlled system. Diver operations are limited to a maximum of 300 meters of water depth, whereas a significant portion of existing subsea field infrastructure, as well as projected future developments, are in deeper waters in depths up to 3,000 meters. In addition, diver safety concerns in shallow water, as well as impaired diver efficiency in difficult environmental conditions such as wave breaking zones, prompts the call for a reduction of diver exposure or complete elimination of diver assistance. The recent completion of a remote-controlled hot tap machine (Subsea 1200RC) is an important step toward developing a totally diver-less system. The installation of the hot tap assembly and subsequent removal of the machine still require diver assistance, but the performance of the tap itself is remotely controlled by a hot tap technician from the deck of the DSV. The concept is a topside-driven hot tap machine with “passive Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) interface”, which means a stationary ROV with its hydraulics and control system is attached to the hot tap machine and operated from an onboard laptop. This results in a light weight hot tap frame and total direct control of the cutting process. The machine has been designed, built, tested and successfully deployed on a recent subsea tap for a pipeline operator in Asia. This technology promotes the “separation of man and machine” proposition. It reduces risk by reducing diver exposure, enhances safety, provides direct control and visibility from a laptop and facilitates fast and accurate execution. Ultimately, the concept may be extended toward onshore hot tap applications in risky environments calling for remotely operated systems. Diverless tapping is now also qualified and offered by others.

For suppressing torsional vibration on main driving system of the rolling mill, the paper studied modal control and control model of torsional vibration. Dynamic disturbance of the rolling mill main driving system were induced by small perturbation from torque fluctuation. Modal control analysis were investigated on include amplitude and phase response on reference change or load change, bode diagrams, and time domain simulations. Torque fluctuation reflects non-steady cyclical or quasi-cyclical characteristics on the torsional vibration system. Control model had been reconstructed from inversion of dynamic topology theory. The result of simulation showed that the established control model for suppressing torsional vibration was effectiveness. Feedback control experiment of nipping and throwing steel on the rolling mill’s main driving system using reaction control tactic was proved it could be easy input and output for controling to suppressing vibration.
