High-speed laser diagnostics was utilized for single-cycle resolved studies of the fuel distribution in the combustion chamber of a truck-size HCCI engine. A multi-YAG laser system consisting of four individual Nd:YAG lasers was used for planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) imaging of the fuel distribution. The fundamental beam from the lasers at 1064 nm was frequency quadrupled in order to ob
The Modelica language, targeted at modeling of complex physical systems, has gained increased attention during the last decade. Modelica is about to establish itself as a de facto standard in the modeling community with strong support both within academia and industry. While there are several tools, both commercial and free, supporting simulation of Modelica models few efforts have been made in th
With diversified requirements and varying manufacturing environments, the optimal production planning encountered in a steel mill became more flexible and also complicated. The flexibility can provide the operators with auxiliary requirements through an implementable integrated production planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is formulated for the optimal pla
Food retailers might foster consumption of sustainable products by influencing both demand and supply-side characteristics, as they represent the main marketing channel of food products in most of European countries. However, only few European retailers are actively engaged in activities of sourcing and promoting more sustainable products, with current share of sustainable food in the retail assor
Leonardo da Vinci Community Vocational Training Action Programme’s pilot project within Geographical Information Science (GIS), should be implemented over a three year period, 2002-2005. The main objectives of the project is to establish co-operation between European Universities and GIS user organisations and to develop modularised courses intended for Internet based learning, establish links of
With diversified requirements and varying manufacturing environments, the optimal production planning encountered in a steel mill has become more flexible and also complicated. The flexibility provides the operator with auxiliary options to satisfy customer requirements through an implementable integrated production planning.
