  • A flow control system was designed and fabricated to control the flow rate of liquid through the pipe. This control system was composed of hardwares and software, hardwares as controller, gate valve, orifice meter and data aquisition board and software as National instruments Labview program. Control of flow rate was executed by adjusting the pneumatic valve located at the center of pipe line based on the control signal generated by LabView PID control algorithm, which converts analog signal measured by pressure difference of orifice to digital signal to adjust pneumatic valve. For the controller setup Ziegler-Nichols tuning technique was applied and control performances were investigated for not only the disturbance but also the set point changes. Developed system showed good control performances in flow control enough to use as teaching tool of feedback control theory and practice in university, and also as industrial application.

  • This paper describes the development of an automated, hand-held sensor for the fast assessment of seafood freshness. The sensor developed here combined: an array-based chemical sensor, composed of incrementally different conducting polymer elements deposited on a small chip; a highly sensitive, custom-made electronics for the detection of very small signal changes; precise temperature control of the sensor chamber; and an on-board microcontroller for data collection, storage, automation, and analysis. The instrument was used to successfully test seafood samples with different degree of freshness and spoilage. A linear relationship between microbiological count and e-Nose signal for three different fish fillet was developed. Once the linear relationship is included into the hand-held unit software, the e-Nose signal can be used for assessment of seafood freshness without performing the microbiological count technique.

  • It is known that Volterra kernel models can represent a wide variety of nonlinear chemical processes. Also, it is necessary for Volterra model identification to excite the process to be identified with a signal having wide range of frequency spectrum and high enough amplitude of input signals. Kashiwagi[4 ∼ 7] has recently shown a method for measuring Volterra kernels up to third order using pseudorandom M-sequence signals. However, in practice, since it is not always possible to apply such input sequences to the actual chemical plants. Even when we can apply such a pseudorandom signal to the process, it takes much time to obtain higher order Volterra kernels. Considering these problems, the authors propose here a new method for practical identification of Volterra kernels by use of approximate open differential equation (ODE) model and simple plant test. Simulation results are shown for verifying the usefulness of our method of identification of nonlinear chemical processes.

  • A micro porous PTFE membrane desolvator (MMD) was built and evaluated for the on-line removal of organic solvents to facilitate the determination of trace metal contaminants in the solvents by ICP-AES. Three organic solvents, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), methanol, and dimethy sulfoxide (DMSO) were studied. The MMD reduced organic solvent concentration in the sample aerosol stream by 82% to 89%, as indicated by monitoring C(I) emission. Net signal intensity of Fe, Al, and Cu was increasing with higher organic solvent concentration, with the rate of increase being solvent dependent. The signal intensities for Mg and Pb followed the trend with the C(I) signal. Changing the sweep gas flow rate affected the optimum signal intensity. Wine samples were analyzed by the method of standard addition. The concentrations of B, Al, and Mg were determined with a relative precision of less than 2.3%.

  • Excitability is one of the basic and fundamental mechanisms utilized for signal transmission in living organisms. With reference to the condition by Marek and the condition by Schneider, we found a condition in which excitability with similar shapes can appear by chemical and electric perturbation. Our condition is constructed with 3 chemical channels and 1 electric channel, and can be used as a condition for a chemical spiking neuron and as a unit of a chemical spiking neural network.

  • A neural controller for process control is proposed that combines a conventional multi-loop PID controller with a neural network. The concept of target signal based on feedback error is used fur on-line learning of the neural network. This controller is applied to distillation column control to illustrate its effectiveness. The result shows that the proposed neural controller can cope well with disturbance, strong interactions, time delays without any prior knowledge of the process.

  • Time profile of the transient grating signal induced by a nanosecond pulsed laser excitation of methyl red is investigated in alcohols and toluene at several solvent temperatures. The signal decays biexponentially with well-separated time constants; the faster decay is identified as due to thermal diffusion of the solvents and the slower one as mainly due to translational diffusion of the solute. The measured translational diffusion constants of methyl red in toluene are close to a hydrodynamic prediction with a slip boundary condition while those in alcohols are larger by 30% and increase slightly with the size of alcohols. We compare the results with modified hydrodynamic models.

  • 1) The hydroxy-substitution in the simple phenolic compounds follows an additivity rule in the chemical shifts of their aromatic carbon atoms. In para-and ortho-effects is a good agreement between calculated and measured values, but the meta-effect is not certain. 2) The additivity rule was applied to assign the chemical shifts of catechins. 3) The nuclear overhauser effect was applied to assign the chemical shifts of C-8 and C-6 atoms of catechins and their polymer. The signal of C-8 is lower in intensity and appear in lower field than C-6. 4) The results of the NOE were applied to determine the bonding positions of catechin units in the catechin dimer and trimer. The bonding positions are C-8a and C-8b atoms of the second and third catechin units. 5) It was tried to determine the conformation of the catechin dimer and trimer by analysing the signal shapes of C-3' and C-4' atoms in the catechol moieties. The catechol moieties lie in opposite side in the dimer and trimer structure. A combined analysis of $^{13}C-and\;^1H-NMR$ results lead to the suggestion that such a catechin polymer is a zigzag planar form.
