temperature is one of the effective parameters in erosion of spark plug electrodes. in this research, temperature of spark plug was measured in engine's different operation conditions with two types of fuels: compressed natural gas and gasoline. test results showed that, temperature of center electrode is lower than ground electrode and maximum difference between them is 110ºc that occurs ...

Electromagnetic-assisted sintering offers the possibility for a time-efficient densification of intermetallic ?-TiAl based powders. Since microstructure densified material and, thus, its mechanical properties can be controlled by imposed temperature profile, kinetics and transformations occurring phases are particular interest. The present study describes diffraction setup in-situ observation p...

In the mid 1980s the monolithic nature of building energy simulation programs led to proposals for development of so-called "kernel systems," i.e., software environments that would make available to developers basic software modules and a supporting framework that could be used to construct new building simulation software. One of the outcomes of the ensuing work was the Simulation Problem Anal...

When performing digital music it is important to be able to acquire a comparable level of sensitivity and control to what can be achieved with acoustic instruments. By examining the links between sound and touch, new compositional and performance strategies start to emerge for performers using digital instruments. These involve technological implementations utilizing the haptic information chan...
