Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThermal Stability Analysis in a Two-Step Reactive Cylindrical StockpileR.S. Lebelo, R.K. Mahlobo, K.C. MoloiThermal stability analysis in a cylindrical stockpile of reactive material undergoing a two-step low-temperature oxidation reaction is studied in this article. The reactant consumption in this case is neglected and heat transfer with thermal stability are investigated by application of the energy equation. The complicated combustion process results with nonlinear interactions and hence the nonlinear partial differential equation governing the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 6 Dec 2017 · 7,654 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSomething about the Mechanical Moment of InertiaFlorian Ion T. Petrescu, Antonio Apicella, Aversa Raffaella et al.In this study, the relations to determining mass moments of inertia (mechanical) for different mass and mechanical inertia corresponding to geometric shapes, objects and profiles are explored. The formulas for calculating the mass moments of inertia (mechanical) for various bodies (various geometrical forms), to certain major axis indicated (as the axis of calculation) are presented. The total mass M of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2016 · 11,376 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachine Motion Equations at the Internal Combustion Heat EnginesFlorian Ion T. PetrescuThis paper presents an algorithm for setting the dynamic parameters of the classic main mechanism of the internal combustion engines. One presents the dynamic, original, machine motion equations. The equation of motion of the machine that generates angular speed of the shaft (which varies with position and rotation speed) is deduced by conservation kinetic energy of the machine. An additional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2015 · 9,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractESTIMATIONS OF TOTAL MASS AND ENERGY OF THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSEDimitar ValevThe recent astronomical observations indicate that the expanding universe is homogeneous, isotropic and asymptotically flat. The Euclidean geometry of the universe enables to determine the total gravitational and kinetic energy of the universe by Newtonian gravity in a flat space. By means of dimensional analysis, we have found the mass of the observable universe close to the Hoyle-Carvalho formula M∼c3/(GH). … …Physics International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2014 · 17,696 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon-Singular Thermodynamic GravityPharis E. WilliamsNewton formed his laws of motion, but still had to assume a law of gravity in order to determine the motions of bodies interacting through gravitational forces. Newton gave a prescription of how to find the dynamics produced by gravity. Einstein sought to determine the motions of gravity without using a force. Rather, he sought a system of equations by … …Space Science International, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,651 accessesView PDFCite
