A real-time control of cyclones using private memory messagepassing distributed computer system

摘要

Cyclones have varied applications in chemical, mining and mineralprocessing industries. Although they have been in existence for quitesome time now, there has been no hypothesis sound enough to elucidateand predict their operations with a number of variable parameters. Thispaper introduces a scheme for real-time-distributed control of cyclonestaking into consideration the merits of existing conventionalapproaches. The present model considers the efficiency variations withthe capacity of shutting down the device in the event of malfunctioning.The entire scheme was implemented in a distributed memory messagepassing environment employing transputers as processing nodes. A moregeneralised scheme is also proposed
