Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSynchronous Generator Disturbance Provoked by Induction Motor StartingS. P.Y. Santos, E. Delbone, E. F. Carvalho, L. N. MartinsProblem statement: This study presented an alternative procedure for the starting of large Inductions Motors (IM) in isolated generation systems. Approach: In isolated generation systems on stand-by or base load, the starting of the IM provoked sags frequently beyond the ability of the other consumers in the plant to stand. Manufacturers' solutions always recommend a supersized generator to decrease transient … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 6,948 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFinite Element Modeling of Transient Temperatures in a Small-Caliber ProjectileM. Brian Thomas, Leon DozierProblem statement: Future generations of intelligent munitions will use Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) for guidance, fuzing logic and assessment of the battlefield environment. The temperatures fund in a gun system, however, are sufficient to damage some materials used in the fabrication of MEMS. The motivation of this study is to model the dynamic temperature distribution in a typical small-caliber projectile. Approach: … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Model of Double Pass Photovoltaic Thermal Air Collector with FinsEbrahim M. Ali Alfegi, Kamaruzzaman Sopian, Mohd Yusof Hj Othman, Baharudin Bin YatimProblem statement: The efficiency of photovoltaic cells is generally temperature dependent (efficiency decrease when the temperature of the photovoltaic cells increase). This problem can be solved by cooling the solar cells during operation and operated at low temperature. Approach: This study presented a numerical model of double pass Photovoltaic Thermal (PV/T) solar air collector with fins attached to the back … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 Oct 2009 · 8,011 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling of Nitric Oxide Formation in Single Cylinder Direct Injection Diesel Engine Using Diesel-Water EmulsionK. Kannan, M. UdayakumarProblem statement: Water injection into the combustion chamber of diesel engine found to be one of best method for in-cylinder control of NOx formation. Approach: The combustion of water-diesel emulsion in diesel engine was simulated using a computer program to estimate the heat release rate, cylinder pressure, brake thermal efficiency, brake specific fuel consumption and NO formation. Results: The numerical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermination of Kinetic Correction Coefficient of Fluid Flow Using a Generic Multiple Orifice Physical Scale Model StructureEmmanuel M. AdigioProblem statement: Diesel particulate filters are fast becoming integral parts of diesel engines, light and heavy duty, due to their potential in the reduction of particulate matter from exhaust gases and their noise muffling property. Consequently, several researchers are developing mathematical models for the study of fluid flow through the filter substrate and in the aiding of filter systems design. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,557 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance Optimization of Discrete Wavelets Transform Based Image Watermarking Using Genetic AlgorithmsA. Al-Haj, A. Abu-ErrubThe excellent spatial localization, frequency spread and multi-resolution characteristics of the Discrete Wavelets Transform (DWT), which were similar to the theoretical models of the human visual system, facilitated the development of many imperceptible and robust DWT-based watermarking algorithms. There had been extremely few proposed algorithms on optimized DWT-based image watermarking that can simultaneously provide perceptual transparency and robustness since these … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2008 · 6,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAerodynamic Noise Prediction Using stochastic Turbulence ModelingArash Ahmadzadegan, Mehran TadjfarAmongst many approaches to determine the sound propagated from turbulent flows, hybrid methods, in which the turbulent noise source field is computed or modeled separately from the far field calculation, are frequently used. For basic estimation of sound propagation, less computationally intensive methods can be developed using stochastic models of the turbulent fluctuations (turbulent noise source field). A simple and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2008 · 7,228 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBridging from Cells to Cognition in Autism Pathophysiology: Biological Pathways to Defective Brain Function and PlasticityMatthew P. Anderson, Brian S. Hooker, Martha R. HerbertWe review evidence to support a model where the disease process underlying autism may begin when an in utero or early postnatal environmental, infectious, seizure, or autoimmune insult triggers an immune response that increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in the brain that leads to DNA damage (nuclear and mitochondrial) and metabolic enzyme blockade and that these inflammatory and oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 17,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCreep-Fatigue Crack Growth Interaction in Nickel Base Supper AlloyF. DjavanroodiMost engineering components which operate at elevated temperatures are subjected to non-steady loading during service. This paper describes the current fracture mechanics concepts that are employed to predict cracking of Nickel base supper alloy materials at high temperatures under low and high frequency cyclic loading. A model for predicting creep crack growth in terms of C* and the creep uniaxial … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 5 · 31 May 2008 · 6,895 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpecific Heat and Thermal Conductivity of Berberis Fruit (Berberis vulgaris)Mortaza Aghbashlo, Mohammad Hossein Kianmehr, Seyed Reza Hassan-BeygiBerberis fruit was known as a medicinal and ornamental plant in the world. It is used in medicine to cure the liver, neck and stomach cancer, blood purification and mouth scent. In order to design of equipments and facilities for the drying, preservation and processing of berberis, it is necessary to know about the specific heat and thermal conductivity.
