Modeling and Numerical Simulation of Compressible Gas-liquid Two-phase Flow in Ducts of Spatially Varying Cross-section
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Nouri-Borujerdi, Ali (Supervisor)
Abstract
In this thesis, gas-liquid two phase flow through channels of spatially varying cross-sections are investigated numerically. These flows have several industrial applications such as nozzles, diffusers, pipeline blowdown, valves and channels with sudden expansions or contractions. Finite volume method in conjunction with a second order Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM+_up) is employed to discretize the governing equations. At low Mach numbers, a pressure-based algorithm with a pressure correction equation is derived. Using the pressure-based algorithm accelerates the convergence rate of the numerical solution of the flows through sudden expansions. The pressure adjacent to the...
Annual comparative performance and cost analysis of high temperature, sensible thermal energy storage systems integrated with a concentrated solar power plant
, Article Solar Energy ; Volume 153 , 2017 , Pages 153-172 ; 0038092X (ISSN) ; Taylor, R. A ; Nithyanandam, K ; Shafiei Ghazani, A ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
The present study conducts a comprehensive comparative techno-economic analysis of some near-term sensible thermal energy storage (TES) alternatives to the ‘standard’ two-tank molten salt system for concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. As such, we conducted detailed, relative annual transient simulations for single-medium thermocline (SMT), dual-media thermocline (DMT), and shell-and-tube (ST) systems. To be consistent with recent literature, the DMT and ST systems use concrete with a porosity of 0.2 (e.g. where concrete occupies 80% of the system) as their low cost filler material. The systems were integrated into a validated 19.9 MWe Gemasolar CSP model, which has a solar multiple of...

Anomaly and nonplanar diagrams in noncommutative gauge theories
, Article International Journal of Modern Physics A ; Volume 17, Issue 1 , 2002 , Pages 123-144 ; 0217751X (ISSN) ; Sadooghi, N ; Sharif University of Technology
2002
Abstract
Anomalies arising from nonplanar triangle diagrams of noncommutative gauge theory are studied. Local chiral gauge anomalies for both noncommutative U(1) and U(N) gauge theories with adjoint matter fields are shown to vanish. For noncommutative QED with fundamental matters, due to UV/IR mixing a finite anomaly emerges from the nonplanar contributions. It involves a generalized *-product of gauge fields
Planar and nonplanar konishi anomalies and effective superpotential for noncommutative N = 1 supersymmetric U(1)

Abstract
The Konishi anomalies for noncommutative N = 1 supersymmetric U(1) gauge theory arising from planar and nonplanar diagrams are calculated. Whereas planar Konishi anomaly is the expected *-deformation of the commutative anomaly, nonplanar anomaly reflects the important features of nonplanar diagrams of noncommutative gauge theories, such as UV/IR mixing and the appearance of nonlocal open Wilson lines. We use the planar and nonplanar Konishi anomalies to calculate the effective superpotential of the theory. In the limit of vanishing |⊖p, with ⊖ the noncommutativity parameter, the noncommutative effective superpotential depends on a gauge invariant superfield, which includes supersymmetric...

Measurement of the B-Tagging Efficiency in the CMS Experiment with the First LHC Collisions
, Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology ; Ardalan, Farhad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Jets originating from bottom (b) quarks, play an important role in the study of Standard Model processes together with the search for new physics. In the CMS experiment a considerable e?ort is dedicated to the development and the performance study of so-called b-tagging algorithms. On the other hand, the top quark which is produced in pair (tt¯) with a high rate at the LHC, decays near 99% of the time to a b-quark. Hence it provides a rich source of b-quark jets, suitable for b-jet identi?cation studies. In this thesis, a fully data-driven method to measure the b-tagging e?ciency, using top quark events in its semi-electron ?nal state, is developed. The results of the application of the...

Multi-label classification with feature-aware implicit encoding and generalized cross-entropy loss
, Article 24th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering, 10 May 2016 through 12 May 2016 ; 2016 , Pages 1574-1579 ; 9781467387897 (ISBN) ; Soleymani Baghshah, M ; Sharif University of Technology

Abstract
In multi-label classification problems, each instance can simultaneously have multiple labels. Since the whole number of available labels in real-world applications tends to be (very) large, multi-label classification becomes an important challenge and recently label space dimension reduction (LSDR) methods have received attention. These methods first encode the output space to a low-dimensional latent space. Afterwards, they predict the latent space from the feature space and reconstruct the original output space using a suitable decoding method. The encoding method can be implicit which learns a code matrix in the latent space by solving an optimization problem or explicit which learns a...

Abstract
The two-phase flow following the blowdown of pipeline carrying flashing liquid is numerically investigated by using thermodynamic equilibrium and non-equilibrium models. Model equations are solved numerically by the finite volume method. The values of fluxes at cell boundaries are obtained by AUSM+-up. To obtain proper values for the coefficients of dissipation, both single phase liquid and two phase shock tube problems are investigated. The transient release from the pressurized pipeline is studied for two cases of long and short pipes. Comparison of the predictions against experimental data reveals non-equilibrium model performs a little better than equilibrium model in the prediction of...

Abstract
In this paper, transient depressurization of high pressure pipelines containing initially subcooled liquid is simulated numerically by using thermodynamic non-equilibrium and choking condition model. The numerical method relies on finite volume. The convective terms of cell boundaries are discretized by Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM+ - up) with a proposal of partially implicit approach for source terms. Different void fraction correlations are applied to simulate two phase shock tubes as well as the depressurization process. By comparison between the present results and previous experimental data, the best void fraction correlation is introduced. The results indicate that the...

Abstract
In this paper, compressible and incompressible flows through planar and axisymmetric sudden expansion channels are investigated numerically. Both laminar and turbulent flows are taken into consideration. Proper preconditioning in conjunction with a second-order accurate advection upstream splitting method (AUSM+-up) is employed. General equations for the loss coefficient and pressure ratio as a function of expansion ratio, Reynolds number, and the inlet Mach number are obtained. It is found that the reattachment length increases by increasing the Reynolds number. Changing the flow regime to turbulent results in a decreased reattachment length. Reattachment length increases slightly with a...

Abstract
Compressible turbulent flow through the abrupt enlargement in pipes is studied numerically by means of Advection Upstream Splitting Method (AUSM+-up). In low Mach numbers, a pressure correction equation of elliptic type is derived. This equation is compatible with the nature of governing equations and retrieves hyperbolic characteristic at higher Mach numbers. It is shown that the proposed numerical algorithm is computationally more efficient than the preconditioned density-based methods. The flow parameters such as reattachment length, pressure loss coefficient and wall shear stress are predicted. It is found that the loss coefficient of the compressible flow rises drastically with...
Multi-label Classification by Considering Label Dependencies
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Soleymani, Mahdieh (Supervisor)
Abstract
In multi-label classification problems each instance can simultaneously have multiple labels. In these problems, in addition to the complexities of the input feature space we encounter the complexities of output label space. In the multi-label classification problems, there are dependencies between different labels that need to be considered. Since the dimensionality of the label space in real-world applications can be (very) high, most methods which explicitly model these dependencies are ineffective in practice and recently those methods that transform the label space into a latent space have received attention. A class of these methods which uses output space dimension reduction, first...
