Determining The Transient Electric Field And The Effect Of Pulse Repetition Frequency On The Field In A Repetitive 10-Ns Pulsed Discharge In A Quiescent Ch₄-Air Mixture, Chunqi Jiang Jan 2025

Determining The Transient Electric Field And The Effect Of Pulse Repetition Frequency On The Field In A Repetitive 10-Ns Pulsed Discharge In A Quiescent Ch₄-Air Mixture, Chunqi Jiang

Bioelectrics Publications

The goal of this research is to understand the underlying physics enabled by nanosecond pulsed power in a discharge initiation and the following physicochemical processes that favor lean-fuel plasma ignition for combustion. The hypothesis of this project is that pulsed power waveforms such as the pulse repetition frequency (PRF), voltage amplitude, and dielectric surface alter the reduced electric field during the initiation of the discharge, resulting in different plasma properties, which will vary the physicochemical processes for efficient and selective radical productions. This is especially important for lean-burn combustion and reducing emission.

Streamer Discharge Modeling For Plasma-Assisted Combustion, Stuart Reyes, Shirshak Kumar Dhali Jan 2025

Streamer Discharge Modeling For Plasma-Assisted Combustion, Stuart Reyes, Shirshak Kumar Dhali

Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications

Some of the popular and successful atmospheric pressure fuel/air plasma-assisted combustion methods use repetitive ns pulsed discharges and dielectric-barrier discharges. The transient phase in such discharges is dominated by transport under strong space charge from ionization fronts, which is best characterized by the streamer model. The role of the nonthermal plasma in such discharges is to produce radicals, which accelerates the chemical conversion reaction leading to temperature rise and ignition. Therefore, the characterization of the streamer and its energy partitioning is essential to develop a predictive model. We examine the important characteristics of streamers that influence combustion and develop some …

Energy-Based Deep Incomplete Multi-View Clustering, Ziyu Wang, Yiming Du, Rui Ning, Lusi Li Jan 2025

Energy-Based Deep Incomplete Multi-View Clustering, Ziyu Wang, Yiming Du, Rui Ning, Lusi Li

Computer Science Faculty Publications

Incomplete multi-view clustering (IMVC) deals with real-world scenarios where certain views are partially missing, posing significant challenges to effective clustering. Most existing IMVC approaches face a trade-off: imputation-free methods suffer from information bias and imbalance, while full-imputation methods risk introducing and propagating noise. To overcome these limitations, we propose Energy-Based Deep Incomplete Multi-View Clustering (Energy-DIMC), a novel selective-imputation framework that leverages energy-based models (EBMs) to guide reliable imputations and robust clustering. EBMs assess data compatibility by assigning lower energy to more coherent structures, effectively modeling complex inter-view and inter-sample dependencies. Inspired by EBMs, Energy-DIMC integrates four key components: 1) a …

Reference Dependence In Queue Design And Pricing Strategies, Jian Liu, Yongpin Zhou, Jian Chen, Peng Li

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

This research investigates the effect of reference dependence on waiting times in service systems which formerly used a first-in-first-out (FIFO) service but have introduced a priority line with a fee. Our model combines reference-dependent gain-loss utility with standard customer utility, and we posit that customers are pleased with shorter-than-expected waiting times, whereas longer-than-expected times lead to dissatisfaction and an increased likelihood of balking. The study explores two scenarios: a captive customer system (CCS) and a noncaptive customer system (NCCS), with a focus on optimal pricing and segmentation strategies for revenue and social welfare maximization. The results reveal that, in a …
