Abstract The satellite uses an electric propulsion system (EPS) to complete the north-south station-keeping (NSSK) work. Due change of centroid position during whole life period, thrust pointing adjustment is required minimize deviation between vector and centroid, avoid additional interference torque decrease protection efficiency EPS. In this paper, method designed, mathematical model angle e...

The transportation of goods worldwide has a vital meaning for the entire humanity. seaborne transport is considered to be most efficient – economically and environmentally friendly way convey large amount when compared other options available. Marine vessels contribute carriage about 90 percent trade significant part delivered by sea are performed container vessels. Even as negative aspects shi...

The hydrodynamics and undulating propulsion of tadpoles were studied using a newly developed two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling method. The mechanism of thrust generation associated with the flow patterns during swimming is discussed. Our CFD analysis shows that the kinematics of tadpoles is specifically matched to their special shape and produces a jet-stream propulsio...

The jet propulsion engine is used for the propulsion of aircraft, m issile and submarine (for vehicles operating entirely in a fluid) by the reaction of jet of gases which are discharged rearward (behind) with a high velocity. As applied to vehicles operating entirely in a fluid, a momentum is imparted to a mass of fluid in such a manner that the reaction of the imparted momentum furnishes a pr...

The performance and the plasma created by a pulsed magnetoplasmadynamic thruster for small satellite application is studied to understand better the ablation and plasma propagation processes occurring during the short-time discharge. The results can be applied to improve the quality of the thruster in terms of efficiency, and to tune the propulsion system to the needs required by the satellite ...

Hydraulic hybrid propulsion and energy storage components demonstrate characteristics that are very different from their electric counterparts, thus requiring unique control strategies. This paper presents a methodology for developing a power management strategy tailored specifically to a parallel Hydraulic Hybrid Vehicle (HHV) configured for a medium-size delivery truck. The Hydraulic Hybrid V...

During wheelchair propulsion, in order to apply power to the pushrim effectively, shoulder and trunk stabilization is needed to control arm movements and the consequent transfer of power from the limbs through to the pushrim. Available trunk control may be one of the most important force-generating mechanisms during wheelchair propulsion, particularly when an individual is fatigued or propellin...

Original scientific paper Unexpected severe hull deformation caused by wave loads poses alignment problem to the propulsion shaft line in large scale ships, which would significantly influence the dynamical performance of the marine propulsion system. How to suppress negative disturbance imposed by the interaction between water-hull-propulsion and ensure the normal operation of the marine propu...
