The United States automotive recycling infrastructure has successfully reduced the amount of automotive waste sent to landfills, especially since the introduction of shredders in the late 1950s. Shredders are necessary to process and recycle automotive hulks and other durable goods. However, this industry faces significant challenges as the automotive manufacturers are increasing the use of nonmetallic components which are difficult to recycle. Additionally, it is becoming obvious that automobiles contain hazardous materials which place heavy burdens on the environment. To address this growing concern, we propose a process planning model for automotive shredders to make tactical decisions regarding at what level to process and at what level to reprocess feed stock materials. The purpose of this paper is to test analytical models to help shredders improve the profitability and efficiency of the bulk recycling processes for end of life automobile returns. The work is motivated by an actual recycling problem that was observed at Capitol City Metals shredding facility in Indianapolis, Indiana.

This study was conducted for a rapid and simple method using GC/FID and SPME to dectermin gasonline and chlorinated solvents simultaneity. A sodium chloride concentration of 25%(vol/w) combined with such as magnetic stirried, an absorption time of 20min, an extraction temperature of 4$0^{\circ}C$, the volume of minimized 50mL of gaseous phase and a desorption time of 5min pleprovided the greatest sensitivity while maintaining analytical efficiency. Analytical parameter such as linearity was also evaluated. The linear range extend from 30 to 500ppb. The results of chlorinated solvents and gasoline mixed samples showed that solvents have been completely removed from the sample preparation step and more accurated than those obtained by the other methods.

A remarshalling is one of the operational strategies considered importantly at a port container terminal for the fast ship operations and heighten efficiency of slacking yard. The remarshalling rearranges the containers scattered at a yard block in order to reduce the transfer time and the rehandling time of container handling equipments. This Paper deals with the rearrangement problem, which decides to where containers are transported considering time value of each operations. We propose the mixed integer programming model minimizing the weighted total operation cost. This model is a NP-hard problem. Therefore we develope the heuristic algorithm for rearrangement problem to real world adaption. We compare the heuristic algorithm with the optimum model in terms of the computation times and total cost. For the sensitivity analysis of configuration of storage and cost weight, a variety of scenarios are experimented.

The magnetic levitation system has great advantages, such as little friction, no lubrication no noise and so on. The magnetic levitation system need a stabilizing controller because it is a unstable system in natural. This paper presents the robust stabilizing controller design of the magnetic levitation system. The controller which is designed in this paper by $H_{infty}$ control theory is robust servo controller which has zero offset in spite of the model uncertainties. The validity of controller was investigater through the response simulation. In the future, we will use the result of this study at the actual magnetic levitation system.

The containment pressure and temperature transient analysis computer code CONTEMPT4/MOD5 is modified to incorporate the passive containment cooling models. The correlations are selected from the existing experimental heat transfer correlations to model the natural and mixed convection in annular space between the containment shell and the shield building. The evaporative heat transfer of the water film on the outer shell of the containment is modeled using the correlations derived from the analogy between the heat and mass transfer. The modified code is applied to the Ap600 containment transient analysis for the model verification and the results are compared to the results of GOTHIC calculation done by Westinghouse. Also, d series of parametric sensitivity studies of heat transfer correlations, water film ratio and delay time of the wet cooling on the containment peak pressure and temperature following LOCA are performed for the containment of 1000MWe passive plant, KP1000.

pKi values and sensitivity of acid-base indicators in the mixed solvent systems of water-alcohols and water-acetone at differential pH and in concentration media were determined by spectrophotometric method. When the concentration of the organic solvents were increased, the pKi values of sulfophthalein indicators, thymol blue and bromcresol purple, became larger whereas those of an axo indicator, methyl yellow, became smaller nad the pH values of the equivalent points of acids became smaller and the pH values of the equivalent points of acids became higher than those in the aqueous solution. potassium bicarbonate, a standard compound used in the organic solvent systems without a prerequisite procedure of expelling carbon dioxide by boiling.

A long wave induced by a Gaussian-shape submarine landslide is simulated by a 2D fully nonlinear numerical wave tank (NWT). The NWT is based on the boundary element method and the mixed Eulerian/Lagrangian approach. Using the NWT, physical characteristics of land-slide tsunami, including wave generation, propagation, particle kinematics, hydrodynamic pressure, run-up and depression, are simulated for the early stage of long wave generation and propagation. Various sliding mass heights are applied to the developed model for a systematic sensitivity analysis. In particular, the fully nonlinear NWT results are compared with linear results (exact body-boundary conditions with linear free-surface conditions) to identify the nonlinear effects in the respective cases.

In this paper, a robust levitation controller for an attractive MAGLVE system is designed. The design of an H$\infty$ controller based on LMI method is proposed for the control of a simple magnetic levitation system. Attractive MAGLEV system is highly nonlinear and open-loop unstable, and has a very restricted equilibrium region, Also, this system has to tolerate various disturbances caused by propulsion. Thus a robust feedback controller is needed to control the system efficiently. We first formulate a mathematical model for the single magnet levitation system. Then we set up an H$\infty$ control problem as a mixed sensitivity problem where the augmented plant is constructed with frequency weighting function ...

A numerical method for prediction of the Windmilling start performance of micro-turbojet engine has been developed. The method incorporates the available loss correlations and analyses for the estimation of the performance of the major engine components. It has been applied to the micro turbojet engine with the mixed type compressor. The starting performance characteristics on the on/off-design regions have been analysed. Additionally, the sensitivity of each design parameter which has an effect on Windmilling start performance has been analysed.

This paper uses a new method to improve the performance criterion of an active suspension car. The used control strategy is based on robust H$_{\infty}$ control theory taking into consideration the chasis flexibility. It will be shown that the modeling errors can be lumped into an unstructured uncertainty and the robust controller designed in the presence of these perturbations could maintain the stability and performance even for the controlled true system..
