High-quality prediction of future gas consumption can be translated into decreased operating costs of the distribution system. For this purpose a model for the prediction of future gas consumption, based on artificial neural networks, was developed in 2005. The model has been successfully implemented by a Slovenian gas distributor. Based on the developed model an original scientific paper was published where the general methodology of gas-consumption prediction was described.

We have researched the thermodynamic properties of heat transfer and pressure drop in static and rotating honeycomb regenerators. Based on the results from a numerical model the selection optimization and classification of magnetic materials to increase the temperature span of the magnetic refrigerator was carried out. The first analysis of the magnetic field density in the rotating honeycomb regenerator was also successfully made.

This paper covers the results of up-to-date research and comprehension of velocity profile effects in Coriolis flowmeters. For evaluation of velocity effects we have successfully used the theory of weighted vectors, which was established by dr. Hemp (Cranfield University, UK). He was also the coauthor of this paper. Results showed that velocity profile effects depend on various constructional and operating parameters of the flowmeter. Flowmeters with slim tubes, which vibrate in the flexible oscilating form have lesser non-idealities, which become significant at shorter measuring tubes.

Mechanical approach to the modeling of boiling as a temporal and locally combined problem is conditioned with experimental insight into temporal and local changes during the heat transfer. Using time dependent average surface temperatures and local power distribution spectrum we have performed a validation of developed mechanical model with experimental results of a dynamical temperature field of heated surface. Using fast-motion and IR camera we have observed the boiling process. Obtained experimental results, show that there are very high local fluctuations of heat rates on heating surface.
