Variational Iteration Method For The Burgers' Flow With Fractional Derivatives—New Lagrange Multipliers, Guo-Cheng Wu, Dumitru Baleanu Dec 2013

Variational Iteration Method For The Burgers' Flow With Fractional Derivatives—New Lagrange Multipliers, Guo-Cheng Wu, Dumitru Baleanu

G.C. Wu

The flow through porous media can be better described by fractional models than the classical ones since they include inherently memory effects caused by obstacles in the structures. The variational iteration method was extended to find approximate solutions of fractional differential equations with the Caputo derivatives, but the Lagrange multipliers of the method were not identified explicitly. In this paper, the Lagrange multiplier is determined in a more accurate way and some new variational iteration formulae are presented.

Optimal Control For A Nonlinear Time-Delay System In Fed-Batch Fermentation, Chongyang Liu, Zhaohua Gong, Enmin Feng Oct 2013

Optimal Control For A Nonlinear Time-Delay System In Fed-Batch Fermentation, Chongyang Liu, Zhaohua Gong, Enmin Feng

Chongyang Liu

The main control goal in fed-batch fermentation is to maximize yield of target product and reduce operation costs. In this paper, we propose a controlled nonlinear time-delay system, in which the flow rate of glycerol is taken as the control function and the terminal time of the fermentation as the optimization variable, to model the 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) production in fed-batch process. Taking the mass of 1,3-PD per unit time as the performance index, we formulate a constrained optimal control model with free terminal time to optimize the production process. Using a time-scale transformation, the optimal control problem is equivalently transcribed …

A Numerical Approach On Hiemenz Ow Problem Using Radial Basis Functions, Saeid Abbasbandy, K. Parand, S. Kazem, A. R. Sanaei Kia Jan 2013

A Numerical Approach On Hiemenz Ow Problem Using Radial Basis Functions, Saeid Abbasbandy, K. Parand, S. Kazem, A. R. Sanaei Kia

Saeid Abbasbandy

In this paper, we propose radial basis functions (RBF) to solve the two dimensional flow of fluid near a stagnation point named Hiemenz flow. The Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow can be reduced to an ordinary diferential equation of third order using similarity transformation. Because of its wide applications the ow near a stagnation point has attracted many investigations during the past several decades. We satisfy boundary conditions such as infinity condition, by using Gaussian radial basis function through the both diferential and integral operations. By choosing center points of RBF with shift on one point in uniform grid, we …

A Cauchy Problem For Some Local Fractional Abstract Differential Equation With Fractal Conditions, Yang Xiaojun, Zhong Weiping, Gao Feng

Xiao-Jun Yang

Fractional calculus is an important method for mathematics and engineering [1-24]. In this paper, we review the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Cauchy problem for the local fractional differential equation with fractal conditions \[ D^\alpha x\left( t \right)=f\left( {t,x\left( t \right)} \right),t\in \left[ {0,T} \right], x\left( {t_0 } \right)=x_0 , \] where $0<\alpha \le 1$ in a generalized Banach space. We use some new tools from Local Fractional Functional Analysis [25, 26] to obtain the results.

Challenges And Prospects Of Processes Utilising Carbonic Anhydrase For Co2 Separation, Patrycja Szeligiewicz, Wojciech M. Budzianowski Jan 2013

Challenges And Prospects Of Processes Utilising Carbonic Anhydrase For Co2 Separation, Patrycja Szeligiewicz, Wojciech M. Budzianowski

Wojciech Budzianowski

This article provides an analysis of processes for separation CO2 by using carbonic anhydrase enzyme with particular emphasis on reactive-membrane solutions. Three available processes are characterised. Main challenges and prospects are given. It is found that in view of numerous challenges practical applications of these processes will be difficult in near future. Further research is therefore needed for improving existing processes through finding methods for eliminating their main drawbacks such as short lifetime of carbonic anhydrase or low resistance of reactive membrane systems to impurities contained in flue gases from power plants.
