Plant-wide simulation model for transient studies on the Xe-100
(ANS (American Nuclear Society), 2016)This paper gives an overview of the plant-wide simulation model that is used by X-energy LLC for developing their plant design and control philosophy, as well as assessing plant upset conditions. The simulation model was ... -
Pollution control of the Selati tailings storage facility by means of a decision support system: a case study
(CSEE, 2018)The Selati tailings storage facility (TSF) lies in the Limpopo Province in South Africa and originates from mining and the metallurgical processing of carbonatite and pyroxenite from the Phalaborwa Complex [1]. The Selati ... -
Potential in utilising furnace off-gas at a ferrochrome smelter with gas engines
(IEEE, 2015)In South Africa the current electrical energy crises and the possibility of carbon tax forces ferrochrome smelters to improve the efficiency of the plant and also reduce the carbon emissions at the same time. This can be ... -
Potential toxic elements contamination of soils in O’Kiep, an arid region of Namaqualand, South Africa
(EARET, 2018)The aim of this study was to evaluate the geochemical background and spatial distribution patterns of selected potential toxic elements (PTEs) in ten sub-surface soil samples (n=10) collected in the former copper mining ... -
A practical application of critical systems thinking to improve a business intelligence system’s business requirements
(ISSS, 2017)Efficacious decision-making requires relevant, intelligible information. Organisations implement data warehousing/business intelligence systems to provide required information timeously for improved decision-making ... -
A practical approach to managing uncertainty in the measurement and verification of energy efficiency savings
(Univ Stellenbosch, 2017)Measurement and verification (M&V) is fundamental in determining the impact of energy efficiency (EE) interventions. However, accurately quantifying the EE savings on complex industrial systems can present several ... -
The practical comparison of conductor operating temperatures against IEEE and CIGRE ampacity calculations
(IEEE, 2012)The maximum operating temperatures of energized conductors denotes the current carrying capacity. Historically, power utilities have used deterministic and probabilistic methods to calculate the thermal rating and operating ... -
Practical considerations in energy efficient compressor set-point control strategies
(IEEE, 2014)Compressed air supply and demand strategies have received significant attention since integrated demand management was initiated by Eskom. Due to the expensive nature of this vastly utilised energy carrier, every increase ... -
A practical evaluation of harmonic emission assessment
(IEEE, 2011)This paper reports an evaluation of harmonic emission assessment. The results obtained by the Harmonic Vector Method are correlated to the behavior of harmonic active power by means of synchronized measurements in a ... -
Practical evaluation of voltage unbalance at a distribution transformer based on 50 Hz negative sequence active power
(IEEE, 2011)The paper investigates the measurement and propagation of voltage unbalance at a distribution transformer. The relations between unbalance factors in voltage and current with the direction of negative sequence fundamental ... -
The practice of applicability checks in information systems research: an empirical confirmation
(WSEAS, 2010)The practice of applicability checks1 can be considered a relative new concept in the field of Information Systems (IS) research. It is, however, an appropriate method to ensure the practical relevance of research. The ... -
The predicting success factors of mobile applications development: organizational perspectives
(IADIS, 2019)Mobile applications (mobile apps) development is one of the fastest evolving technological innovations across the globe. The immense growth of mobile apps development can be attributed to the incredible rate of growth of ... -
Prediction of dissolution of copper from a chalcopyrite carbonatite ore of South Africa
(EARET, 2018)Chalcopyrite accounts for 70% of all copper bearing minerals and therefore has been studied closely to understand the dissolution kinetics in hope of overcoming the passivation film and increasing the extraction rates ... -
A predictive model for a Wet-high-intensity-magnetic-separator (WHIMS) using artificial neural networks
(EARET, 2018)—Materials can be classified into three major categories based on the magnetic susceptibility thereof; the property governing the response of the material subjected to a magnetic field. Chromium has many uses in the ... -
Predictive model for fuels from hydrothermal liquefaction of municipal solid waste
(EUBCE, 2019)Effective management of the environmental impact of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a global issue linked to urbanization and a rapid increase in the global population. Although MSW has been evaluated as possible feedstock ... -
