The dual-fuel diesel engine (D.F.D.E) is a conventional diesel engine in which much of the energy released, hence power, comes from the combustion of gaseous fuel such as natural gas. The exhaust emission characteristics ...

This paper addresses the issue of cell loss and its consequent effect on video quality in a packet video system, and examines possible compensative measures. In the system's enconder, adaptive spectral separation is used ...

From the standpoint of processing, hard chromium layer plate may be applied to steels, cast iron, aluminum and nickel base alloys. Cast iron can be plated provided that the surface is capable of conducting the required ...

Design and construction of a capacitor sensor with a precise readout system are described in this paper. A variable air-gap capacitive transducer was constructed and for signalmeasurement a successful attempt was made to ...

This paper presents a theoretical derivation and computer simulation of an optimal speed controller for a brushless dc motor using feedback from a linear model running in parallel with the inverter-fed model. The intent ...

Reducing the exhaust emissions of an spark ignition engine by means of engine modifications requires consideration of the effects of these modifications on the variations of crankshaft torque and the engine roughness ...

A formulation for finite element analysis of tapered and  monosymmetric I shaped beam-columns is presented. This is a general way to analyze these types of complex elements. Based upon the formulation, member stiffness ...
