Penetration of tubulars into horizontal oil wells (2002)
Journal Article
McCourt, I., Truslove, T., & Kubie, J. (2002). Penetration of tubulars into horizontal oil wells. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science, 216(12), 1237-1245. https://doi.org/10.1243/095440602321029472

Penetration of tubulars into horizontal oil wells is investigated in this work. Locking of the tubulars by frictional forces alone is modelled by inserting small diameter rubber rods into horizontal acrylic tubes. Three different regions of the penet...

A new neural network and pole placement based adaptive composite controller (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hussain, A., Zayed, A. S., & Smith, L. (2001, December). A new neural network and pole placement based adaptive composite controller. Presented at Multi Topic, IEEE International Conference, Lahore, Pakistan

The paper describes a new composite control method combining a neural network estimator with a conventional pole-placement based adaptive controller. The neural network estimation technique presented by Hussain (2000) is particularly effective when t... Read More about A new neural network and pole placement based adaptive composite controller.

A novel method for the performance control of a gas transmission compressor. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pearson, W. N., Armitage, A., & Henderson, D. (2002, May). A novel method for the performance control of a gas transmission compressor. Presented at ASME TURBO EXPO 2002: Controls, Diagnostics and Instrumentation, Cycle Innovations, Marine, Oil and Gas Applications

This paper presents the application of feed forward neural networks to the performance control of a gas transmission compressor. It is estimated that a global saving in compressor fuel gas of 1% could prevent the production of 6 million tonnes of CO2...

A novel method for the performance modelling of a gas transmission compressor. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Henderson, D., Armitage, A., & Pearson, W. N. (2002, June). A novel method for the performance modelling of a gas transmission compressor. Presented at Proceedings of ASME Turbo Expo 2002, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

This paper presents the application of feed forward neural
networks to the performance modeling of a gas transmission
compressor. Results of compressor model testing suggest that
compressor speed can be estimated to within ± 2.5 %. The neural
net... Read More about A novel method for the performance modelling of a gas transmission compressor..

A design guide for performance assessment of solar light-pipes (2002)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Muneer, T., & Kubie, J. (2002). A design guide for performance assessment of solar light-pipes. Lighting Research and Technology, 34(2), 149-168. https://doi.org/10.1191/1365782802li041oa

Due to an increasing demand for an improvement in environmental conditions for living and a need for energy saving, development of daylight exploitation products has accelerated. The invention of light-pipes which bring natural light indoors where su... Read More about A design guide for performance assessment of solar light-pipes.
