the directional response and roll stability characteristics of a partly filled tractor semi-trailer vehicle, with cylindrical tank, are investigated in various maneuvers. the dynamic interaction of liquid cargo with the tractor semi-trailer vehicle is also evaluated by integrating a dynamic slosh model of the partly filled tank with five-degrees-of-freedom of a tractor semi-trailer tank model. ...

The directional response and roll stability characteristics of a partly filled tractor semi-trailer vehicle, with cylindrical tank, are investigated in various maneuvers. The dynamic interaction of liquid cargo with the tractor semi-trailer vehicle is also evaluated by integrating a dynamic slosh model of the partly filled tank with five-degrees-of-freedom of a tractor semi-trailer tank mode...

Research on increasing the buckling strength of tanks carrying fluid and also cylindrical shells of thin-walled steel in civil engineering and mechanics is important. This is due to the widespread use of these structures in the industry. Due to the low thickness of the body and also due to the pressure forces entering these tanks, these structures are exposed to lateral buckling. In this resear...

For establishing hydrate-based technologies for natural-gas storage/transport, CO2 capture from industrial flue gases, etc., we need appropriate guidelines for the scale-up of hydrate production/processing equipment from laboratory scales to industrial scales. This paper aims to provide technical remarks on the scale-up of hydrate-forming reactors, the central components of hydrate production/p...

One important aim in cell culture-based viral vaccine and vector production is the implementation of continuous processes. Such a development has the potential to reduce costs of vaccine manufacturing as volumetric productivity is increased and the manufacturing footprint is reduced. In this work, continuous production of Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) virus was investigated. First, a semi-cont...

The formation of acetate by Acetobacterium woodii was studied systematically in batch-operated stirred-tank reactors at different hydrogen and carbon dioxide partial pressures in the gas phase. 48 parallel stirred-tank reactors on a millilitre-scale as well as stirred-tank reactors on a litre-scale were applied for the detailed reaction engineering analysis of hydrogenotrophic acetate formation...

Let S be a set of n points in Rd in general position. A set H of k-flats is called an mk-stabber of S if the relative interior of any m-simplex with vertices in S is intersected by at least one element of H. In this paper we give lower and upper bounds on the size of minimum mk-stabbers of point sets in Rd and in general position. We study mainly mk-stabbers in the plane and in R3.

In this study, a semi cylindrical capacitive array type liquid interface level measuring sensor is described. The sensor consists of a continuous large semi cylindrical thin metallic plate acting as a common plate of the capacitor and an array of small semi cylindrical thin metallic plates, separated by very small gap distance. All plates are mounted along the outer wall of a cylindrical non co...

Water-tank models of meso-scale atmospheric processes often show good qualitative agreement of bulk quantities and flow characteristics and good quantitative agreement of turbulence quantities with field observations. However, it was demonstrated in the first part of this two-part communication that the similarity of velocities of thermally driven upslope flows in atmosphere and water tank is v...
