The technology of a pulsed detonation gun for gasification organic waste with ultra-superheated steam has been experimentally demonstrated the first time. Experiments were performed on natural gas conversion as well liquid (waste machine oil) and solid (wood sawdust) by hot products gas–oxygen mixture at frequency pulses f = 1 Hz. Periodic release to 100 L flow reactor provided time-averaged me...

Solar Thermal Power Plants with concentrating technologies are important for providing a major share of the clean and renewable energy needed in the future. Dish based system is a promising option for power generation since it has high concentration ratio and it does not require a large space. This paper presents a proposed solar dish based combined cycle: air based Brayton cycle as the topping...

Complex motions and wide variations in relative surface velocities are likely to be experienced in mechanical systems such as an engine (e.g., piston rings, wrist pins and crankshaft main bearings in a piston type engine). Currently available tribometers use simple motions and often a constant speed. A new tribometer is designed with the capability of three types of motions: (1) unidirectional ...
