An experimental investigation has been carried out for the first law analysis of a DI (direct-ignition) diesel engine running on straight soybean oil (SVO) preheated at 50, 75, 100C with different loads at varying speeds of 1750, 2000, 2250 rpm. The results show that preheated straight soybean oil may be a practical replacement of the conventional diesel fuel with a small power and efficiency d...

Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is applied to investigate the turbulent non-premixed combustion flow, including species concentrations and temperature, in a cylindrical combustor. Gaseous propane (C3H8) is injected through a circular nozzle which is attached at the centre of the combustor inlet. Preheated air with a temperature of 773K is supplied through the annulus surrounding of this fuel nozzle...

Abstract This paper presents several approaches to realize the data association for modern multisensor data fusion systems. Therefore the requirements of data association algorithms in real multisensor data fusion systems, as applied in air traffic control or in air defence systems are discussed. Especially, the effect and possible integration methods, of the new electronically scanned array ra...

GUVs were prepared using the electroformation method, introduced by Angelova and Dimitrov. Stock solutions of 4 mM lipid in chlorophorm were prepared from dioleoyphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), dipalmitoyphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and cholesterol (Chol), and subsequently mixed to form solutions with 5.33:2.66:2, 2.665.3:3:2 and 4.8:3.2:2 DOPC:DPPC:Chol molar lipid ratios. The fluorescent dye N-(lys...

Nano γAl2O3 has been one of the nanometal oxides that improved characteristics biodiesel. The effect nanoparticles addition on premixed flame combustion is investigated with an experiment laminar speed Calophyllum inophyllum methyl ester 30% and 70% petrodiesel mixtures, at atmospheric pressure preheated temperature T = 473K. added to CIME30 biodiesel were 0ppm, 100ppm, 200ppm, 300ppm. Experime...

Transient thermography employs preheated surface temperature variations caused by delaminations, cracks, voids, corroded regions, etc. Often, it is enough to detect these changes to declare a defect in a workpiece. It is also desirable to obtain additional information about the defect from the thermal response. The planar size, depth, and thermal resistance of the detected defects are the param...
