Energy efficiency control of direct expansion air conditioning systems

“…In addition, in this chapter, the volumes of outside air allowed to enter the DX A/C system are regarded as varying with the changing circumstance over a day and are optimized by the AHC. Moreover, a supply fan to steer the pressure swing absorption with a built-in proportional-integral (PI) controller is proposed to lower the indoor CO2 concentration such that it would reduce the complexity of computation for the AHC and the cost of hardware. …”

Enhanced bioethanol fermentation from mixed xylose and glucose using free and immobilized cultures: mathematical model and experimental observation by Ghods, Nosaibeh Nosrati

“…The obtained results showed better agreement between industrial data and kinetic model (1% differences) than a stoichiometric model (9% differences). The simulation showed that ACM integrated into Aspen Plus allowed for complex biological processes to be accurately predicted for biomass growth, ethanol production and sugar consumption. …”
