Using material parameters within the range reported in the literature, simulation results can reach reasonable agreement with test data on SHCC for two different fiber contents.
In this paper (Part 2), the system performance is evaluated based on data drawn from the literature and simulations with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and energy models.
Success of the proposed design method is firstly demonstrated on an example transfer function and compared with the well-known PID controller methods from the literature through simulations.
The proposed model will serve as an alternative to constant engine efficiencies or empirical efficiency curves commonly used in the current literature for simulations of CHP systems.
The robustness and effectiveness of the new self-tuning algorithm have been compared with the other related tuning methods proposed in the literature through simulations.
In the companion paper, Part 2, the effects of important parameters on system performance are demonstrated based on information from the literature and simulations using CFD and energy models.
Importantly the model includes a full energy balance, which is a feature not reported previously in the literature for simulations of DR-PSA cycles even though bed temperature swings of 10 20 K have been observed in experimental studies.
The numerical results are compared with the available literature and simulations performed with the original interFoam solver in terms of bubble shape and velocity, thickness of the liquid film and amplitude of the bubble tail oscillations.
At the end, the performance of the proposed controller is compared with that of a sliding mode controller, reported in the literature, through simulations of braking on dry and slippery roads.
