Shell and tube heat exchangers (STHXs) are special systems that transfer thermal energy, and they have a significant position in numerous industries.The structure and arrangement of baffles play a vital role in boosting heat transfer rate, increasing thermo-hydraulic performance, and reducing the pumping cost.The numerical study is based on computa
This paper targets the shale oil reservoirs of middle to high maturity in four major basins of China, including the Permian Lucaogou Formation of the Jimsar Sag in the Junggar Basin, the Chang 73 Member of the Triassic Yanchang Formation in the Longdong area of the Ordos Basin, the Kong 2 Member of the Paleogene Kongdian Formation in Cangdong Sag o
Recent progress in machine learning has shown how to forecast and, to some extent, learn the dynamics of a model from its output, resorting in particular to neural networks and deep learning techniques.We will show how the same goal can be directly achieved using data assimilation techniques without leveraging on machine learning software libraries
This paper addresses the problem of the Sandalwood connectivity control and the self-organized deployment/dispersion of a team of mobile ad hoc sensor nodes.First, to reduce redundant communication links while preserving global connectivity, a distributed link removal algorithm is developed that only requires local information of no more than two-h
