Activated Tungsten Inert Gas Weld Characteristics of P91 Joint for Advanced Ultra Supercritical Power Plant Applications
PublicationActivated Tungsten Inert Gas (A-TIG) welding, a variant of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, was used for welding P91. In Generation IV power plants, P91 welds are prone to premature failure due to the presence and formation of brittle phases and creep at high temperatures. When performing A-TIG welding, the flux composition plays a role in the reversal of the Marangoni flow in the weld pool, which ultimately determines the level...

Active Control of Highly Autocorrelated Machinery Noise in Multivariate Nonminimum Phase Systems
PublicationIn this paper, a novel multivariate active noise control scheme, designed to attenuate disturbances with high autocorrelation characteristics and preserve background signals, is proposed. The algorithm belongs to the class of feedback controllers and, unlike the popular feedforward FX-LMS approach, does not require availability of a reference signal. The proposed approach draws its inspiration from the iterative learning control...

Advanced numerical modelling for predicting residual compressive strength of corroded stiffened plates
PublicationAn advanced methodology for predicting the residual compressive strength of corroded stiffened plates is developed here using the non-linear finite element method. The non-uniform loss of a plate thickness is accounted for on a macro-scale. In contrast, mechanical properties are changed using the constitutive model to reflect the corrosion degradation impact on a micro-scale. Three different stiffened plate thicknesses are considered,...

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Degradation of Water Pollutants—Ambivalent Impact of Carbonate Species: A Review
PublicationAdvanced oxidation processes (AOPs) hold great promise in the removal of organic contaminants. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in AOPs react with target pollutants to initially form several intermediate compounds that finally undergo complete mineralization. Such observations are reported, especially for laboratory-scale experiments performed in pure water. On the other hand, while considering real contaminated wastewater...

Alternatywne modele żywienia w cukrzycy typu 2
PublicationCukrzyca typu 2 jest chorobą diagnozowaną u coraz większej liczby osób. Brak codziennej aktywności fizycznej, ale także spożywanie w dużych ilościach przetworzonej, wysokokalorycznej i ubogiej w włókno pokarmowe żywności przyczynia się do wzrostu masy ciała co w konsekwencji zwiększa możliwość zachorowania na owe schorzenie. Dlatego w dietoterapii cukrzycy typu 2 rekomenduje się wprowadzenie diety o niskim indeksie glikemicznym...
