Simulation and control of a Marnoch heat engine
The Marnoch heat engine (MHE) is a new type of heat engine currently under development at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology. The MHE can use waste or collected heat at temperatures that are currently unusable or not economically viable to use by conventional technologies. The MHE …

Experimental design, analysis and improvement of a Marnoch Heat Engine with heat recovery.
… the prototyping of a Marnoch Heat Engine (MHE) and conducts thermodynamic and heat transfer analyses of this heat engine with a waste heat recovery system. The heat source for the MHE can be low grade heat (about 365 K). During cold seasons an ambient temperature can be adequate for the …

Thermodynamic performance evaluation and experimental study of a Marnoch Heat Engine
The Marnoch Heat Engine (MHE) is a recently patented type of new heat engine that produces electricity from lower temperature heat sources. The MHE utilizes lower temperature differences to generate electricity than any currently available conventional technologies. Heat can be recovered from a …

Fully-Integrated Control: Noise Filtering, Parameter Estimation, Disturbance Determination and Predictive Control of Biological Nonlinear Processes
… this estimation, a moving horizon estimator (MHE) was applied. While usually used for parameter estimation, this work presents a different approach in order to calculate the disturbances. If the disturbance appears on the model equations, it is possible to treat it as a model parameter. As a …

Applications of risk pooling for the optimization of spare parts with stochastic demand within large scale networks
… powered by miles of material handling equipment (MHE) such as conveyor belts. Unfortunately, this reliance on MHE means that failures could cripple an entire FC. The exceptionally high stock-out cost associated with equipment failure means spare parts must always available when required. This is …

Predictive analysis of installation and operational qualification issues vs. process severity events
… functionality of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) in these newly built FCs so operations can avoid errors. To achieve this objective, ABCD introduced the Installation and Operational Qualification (IOQ) process in late 2014. While the IOQ process reduces early operational failures, it does not …
