The design and modeling of a thermal bonding process for the consolidation of 3D nonwoven shell structures is described. The process is modeled using CFD technology to optimize the temperature, velocity and pressure distribution of the hot air flow around the 3D structure. The relationships between the temperature distribution and various process parameters are investigated. The modeling results are experimentally evaluated on a laboratory prototype.

Abstract--Following the deregulation of electric power utilities around the globe, it has been widely acknowledged that quantifying power system transfer capability is of increasingly importance in today's large-scale and interconnected power system operation and planning procedures. This paper introduces a novel framework to evaluate transfer capability incorporating electricity market dispatching considerations, which we termed it as economic constrained transfer capability (ETC) problem. A mathematical model of a multi-objective optimization (MOOP) approach is presented to solve this ETC problem. The proposed methodology has been tested on a classical 3-machine 9-bus system and the IEEE 30-bus system. Preliminary simulation results from several case studies are presented with relevant analyses and discussions.Index Terms--Total transfer capability, available transfer capability, optimal power flow, deregulated market, multiobjective optimization.
