A mathematical model regarding water filtration with a nanofiltration (NF) titanium dioxide ceramic membrane is presented. The experiments aimed to use the excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy method to highlight the existence of humic acid (HA) in water, before and after the NF process. Following the established operating conditions, experiments were performed for each quantity of AH separately, leaving the installation to work at the appropriate parameters for 15 minutes. for each quantity of AH. The analyzes for EEM fluorescence were performed using the FP-8300 spectrofluorimeter. The collected samples were analyzed with Spectra Manager II software on fluorescence intensity (au - arbitrary units), with an emission wavelength (nm) between 460 and 640 nm and with an excitation wavelength (nm) between 350 and 600 nm. Following the experiments carried out, mathematical correlations were established between the parameters that influence the filtering process and the studied parameters. It is worth mentioning that as a result of the experiments carried out, a number of 20,450 values were obtained, which were used for the elaboration of mathematical models. These models, for sets of values of the order of tens of thousands, verified both from the point of view of the real values and from the point of view of the regression coefficients (coefficients close to the value 1), demonstrate the quantity and the very good quality of the experimental data, respectively of the measured and calculated sizes. In order to validate the generated equations, they were subjected to checks, the difference being obtained between the value obtained by experimental means and the value obtained within the mathematical model. And the value of the resulting relative error, gives information on the accuracy (truth) of the mathematical model, so that it can be extended to other experiences. It turns out that this method cannot quantitatively determine the value of a parameter, but it can highlight the presence and differences between two samples.

We focused on vibration characteristics of reciprocating compressors and constructed the mathematical model to calculate the natural frequencies and modes for crank angles and proposed a method to estimate the degree and the suspicious portion of failure by difference of temporal parameter values obtained using measuring data in operation and the mathematical model. In this paper, according to the proposed method, a case study is carried out using the field data, where the data were acquired before and after the failures occurred in the connecting parts of connecting rod, to prospect the difference between each parameter value for two operating states. Inspecting resonant characteristics each in the frequency response data relating to the natural frequencies for bending modes of the piston rod, we determined two resonant frequencies, which could correspond to the 1st and 2nd mode about bending of the piston rod. To equate the calculated each natural frequency from eigen value analysis based on the proposed model with each resonant frequency, we define the error function for the identified problem, namely optimum problem. In the identified results, it is found that some parameter values have much difference and the corresponding failure could occur around the connecting rod. We could show the possibility to detect both the change of the parameter values and the deterioration parts for two different kinds of the operating states by our proposed method.

In the present work, the effects of different operating parameters on the performance of a gravity-assisted heat pipe-based indirect evaporative cooler (GAHP-based IEC) were investigated. The aim of the theoretical study is to evaluate accurately the cooling performance indicators, such as the coefficient of performance (COP), wet bulb effectiveness, and cooling capacity. To predict the effectiveness of the air cooler under a variety of conditions, the comprehensive calculation method was adopted. A mathematical model was developed to simulate numerically the heat and mass transfer processes. The mathematical model was validated adequately using experimental data from the literature. Based on the conducted numerical simulations, the most favorable ranges of operating conditions for the GAHP-based IEC were established. Moreover, the conducted studies could contribute to the further development of novel evaporative cooling systems employing gravity-assisted heat pipes as efficient equipment for transferring heat.

The Mathematical Model

This article details the mathematical model of a microfluidic device aimed at separating any binary heterogeneous sample of microparticles into two homogeneous samples based on size with sub-micron resolution. The device consists of two sections, where the upstream section is dedicated to focusing of microparticles, while the downstream section is dedicated to separation of the focused stream of microparticles into two samples based on size. Each section has multiple planar electrodes of finite size protruding into the microchannel from the top and bottom of each sidewall; each top electrode aligns with a bottom electrode and they form a pair leading to multiple pairs of electrodes on each side. The focusing section subjects all microparticles to repulsive dielectrophoretic force, from each set of the electrodes, to focus them next to one of the sidewalls. This separation section pushes the big microparticles toward the interior, away from the wall, of the microchannel using repulsive dielectrophoretic force, while the small microparticles move unaffected to achieve the desired degree of separation. The operating frequency of the set of electrodes in the separation section is maintained equal to the cross-over frequency of the small microparticles. The working of the device is demonstrated by separating a heterogeneous mixture consisting of polystyrene microparticles of different size (radii of 2 and 2.25 μm) into two homogeneous samples. The mathematical model is used for parametric study, and the performance is quantified in terms of separation efficiency and separation purity; the parameters considered include applied electric voltages, electrode dimensions, outlet widths, number of electrodes, and volumetric flowrate. The separation efficiencies and separation purities for both microparticles are 100% for low volumetric flow rates, a large number of electrode pairs, large electrode dimensions, and high differences between voltages in both sections.

Model updating is an important step for correlating the mathematical model of a structure to the real one. There are a variety of techniques available for model updating using dynamic and static measurements of the structure’s behavior. This paper concentrates on the model updating techniques using the natural frequencies or frequencies and mode shapes of a structure. An iterative technique is developed based on the matrix update method. The method hasbeenappliedtothefiniteelement models of a three span continuous steel free deck bridge located in western Canada. The finite element models of the bridge have been constructed using three-dimensional beam and facet shell elements and the models have been updated using the measured frequencies. From the study it is clear that the initial model needs to be built such that it represents the actual structure as closely as possible. The results demonstrate that the difference between the modal parameters from the model and field tests affect the quality of the model updating process.

e18663 Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has threatened to collapse hospital and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) services, and it seems to limit the care of oncologic patients. The objective was to develop a mathematical model designed to predict the hospitalization and ICU admission demands due to COVID-19 to forecast the availability of hospital resources for the scheduling of oncological surgery and medical treatment that require hospitalitation or possible use of ICU services. Methods: We have implemented a SEIR model designed to predict the number of patients requiring hospitalization and ICU admissions for COVID-19. We evaluated the model using the number of cases registered in the hospitals of the province of Granada (Spain), that altogether cover 914,678 inhabitants. Calibration was performed using data recorded between March 15 and September 22, 2020. After that, the model was validated by comparing the predictions with data registered between September 23 and November 7, 2020. Besides, we performed a predictive analysis of scenarios regarding different possible sanitary measures. Results: Using patient registered data we developed a mathematical model that reflects the flow among the different sub-groups related to COVID-19 pandemics (Table). The best algorithm that fitted the disease dynamics was Particle Swarm Optimization, that minimized the difference between model output and real data used to calibrate the model. The validation phase showed the accuracy of the predictions, especially concerning trends in hospitalizations and ICU admissions. The different scenarios modelled on November 10, 2020 allowed us to predict the evolution of the pandemic until July 1, 2021, and to detect the peaks and valleys of disease prevalence. Conclusions: The mathematical model presented provides predictions on the evolution of COVID-19, the prevalence and hospital or ICU care demands. The predictions can be used to detect periods of greater availability of hospital resources that make it possible to schedule the oncologic surgery and intensify the care for oncologic patients. Furthermore, our model can be adapted to other population by recalibrating the model according to demographic data, the local evolution of the pandemic and the health policies. [Table: see text]

At present, an active policy of import substitution is being pursued, dictated by the imposed international sanctions, which creates a need for finding optimal engineering solutions, in particular, in the field of creating Russian software. In the study and design of hydraulic fracturing, they often rely on the results of modeling in specialized simulators. The appearance of the Russian products on the software market, surely, sets the correct vector of development; however, some aspects are not implemented in the existing mathematical models. The authors of this article present a model that allows considering in detail the process of movement of proppant particles in a hydraulic fracture. The chosen direction is important from the point of view of calculating the fracture cavity and refining its productivity, since the behavior of the particles has a significant effect on both the growth potential of the crack and its shape. The research methodology includes a theoretical justification of the mathematical model presented by the authors in their previous works; a description of the basic principles of selecting and constructing a numerical calculation scheme and creating a software package. The main methods of research are the methods of mathematical modeling, formed from practical problems on the estimation of geometric parameters of the crack, including the areas of continuum mechanics and fracture of solids, underground hydrodynamics. The proposed and implemented numerically mathematical model forms the basis of the authors’ software package, which allows solving the main design problems when performing hydraulic fracturing operations.
