All technical processes are subject to dysfunctions during their lifespan, and large solar
thermal systems (LSTS) are no exception to this rule. The development of robust fault …

In oil pipeline leak detection and location, noise in the pressure signal collected at the end of
the pipeline affects the accuracy of leak detection and the error of leakage location. To …

When an oil pipeline has small leaks, the change of the sound velocity of an ultrasonic
signal cannot be easily detected. Based on the method of characteristics theory, the leakage …

This paper proposes a new approach for the leak diagnosis problem in pipelines based on
the use of a Kalman filter for Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems. Such a filter …

The high‐pressure gas cylinder is the pressure source for liquid propellant engine valve
control. Leakage is a significant cause of pressure loss in gas cylinders, leading to engine …

An active vibration control approach from an online estimation perspective of unavailable
feedback signals for a quarter-vehicle suspension system is introduced. The application of a …

This chapter presents a successful leak diagnosis for a real pipeline. The diagnosis was
performed on the water pipeline West 5 located in Guadalajara City, Mexico, which is …

In this paper, we propose a model-based design approach for the effective control of a
drinking water system to reduce the effect of hydraulic transients and meet pressure service …

This paper introduces a hybrid approach designed for both detecting and estimating the
magnitude of leaks in oil pipelines. The method integrates a High Order Sliding Mode …

This work deals with the Leak Detection and Isolation (LDI) problem in water pipelines
based on some heuristic method and assuming only flow rate and pressure head …
