In modern engines with higher compression ratios, severe pressures and non-uniform heating up is occurred for the engine parts. The piston as the most critical part among all automotive components has been the subject of numerous studies on calculation of temperature distribution, but thermal stress analyses are limited. In this study, the piston of gasoline engine XU7 which is widespread in Ir...

INTRODUCTION Alterations in gas displacement in pediatric patients ventilated with the SensorMedics 3100A high-frequency oscillator are most commonly manipulated by adjusting the amplitude, frequency, and percent inspiratory time. The piston-position-and-displacement indicator is commonly centered and subsequently not adjusted. That practice may limit the clinician's ability to optimize carbon ...

This work intends to capitalize waste transformer oil (WTO) as a renewable source of fuel in a diesel engine, given the cost of fuel being used is reduced when using waste products. Previously, despite its higher viscosity, WTO is used as such or in blends with diesel in a diesel engine. However, in the current study, efforts are taken to chemically treat WTO so as to bring down its viscosity a...

This paper describes one method to attain a robust positioning control of pneumatic driving system comprising a pneumatic cylinder and PCM digital control valves. A pneumatic driving system has become one of interests in the industrial fields, however, the control characteristics are inevitably affected by the friction force and parameter changes of plant due to air compressibility. The control...

The conventional hydraulic valve-controlled systems have high response but low energyefficiency. Hydraulic pump-controlled servo systems have high energy efficiency. However, the conventional pump-controlled systems, which are altered by displacement via variable displacement pumps, have lower response. This paper aims to investigate the force control performance of the high response electro-hy...

To achieve both accumulator pressure regulation and generator power tracking for a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system, a nonlinear controller designed base on an energy based Lyapunov function. The control inputs for the storage system are the pump/motor displacements inside the hydraulic transformer and the liquid piston air compressor/expander. While the pump/motor inside the liquid ...
