A translation of state machines to temporal fault trees (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Papadopoulos, Y., Mahmud, N., & Walker, M. (2010, June). A translation of state machines to temporal fault trees. Presented at 2010 International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks Workshops (DSN-W)

State Machines (SMs) are increasingly being used to gain a better understanding of the failure behaviour of safety-critical systems. In dependability analysis, SMs are translated to other models, such as Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets (GSPNs) or c... Read More about A translation of state machines to temporal fault trees.

Modelling and measurement of the gas flow rate in vertical annular gas-water flow using a conductance multiphase Venturi meter (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hasan, A., & Lucas, G. (2009, June). Modelling and measurement of the gas flow rate in vertical annular gas-water flow using a conductance multiphase Venturi meter. Presented at What Where When: Multi-dimensional Advances for Industrial Process Monitoring, University of Leeds, UK

Separated flow in a Venturi meter is highly complex and the application of a homogenous flow model could not reasonably be expected to lead to highly accurate results. If this is the case, a gas volume fraction measurement technique at the throat mus...
