Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Design of Blade for Small Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbine with Low Wind Speed OperationParamet Pathike, Thanad Katpradit, Pradit Terdtoon, Phrut SakulchangsatjataiIn Thailand, the average wind speed throughout the country is comparatively low for normally-available wind turbine. Designing of a new blade suitable for applications in the average wind speed of 3-7 m sec-1 is, thus, a main objective of this study. High torque has to be obtained properly to generate electricity. In order to design and evaluate performance, our mechanical … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 26 Aug 2013 · 8,063 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach to Damage Detection in Composite Body Structures Using Time Compensated Hyperspectral Image Analysis TechniqueMahmoud Zaki IskandaraniA novel approach to damage detection in composite car body structures using hyperspectral image index analysis algorithm is presented and discussed. The adapted technique allows the monitoring and analysis of a components structure based on correlation between time spaced thermal images. The technique produces several organized tables resulting from image fusion and frame deviation pixel redistribution calculations, which results in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 1 Feb 2013 · 7,267 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Wall Climbing RobotSurachai PanichProblem statement: The problem of a wall climbing robot is holding on the wall. This is challenge for researchers. There are many factors, which effect in holding, all forces, robot movement and mechanical design. Approach: This study proposed movement step design for wall-climbing robot. In design the robot use pneumatic system as main unit to move on the wall. The … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 10 · 10 Aug 2010 · 7,856 accessesView PDF Cite

Review ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordThe Yield of the Thermal EnginesNicolae Petrescu, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThis paper presents an algorithm for determining the dynamic parameters of the main classic mechanism of internal combustion engines. It shows the distribution of forces (on the main engine mechanism) to internal combustion engines. With these forces and together with the kinematic coupling speeds, the efficiency of the thermal engine is determined. The method applies separately for two distinct situations: … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 14 May 2019 · 6,191 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordFactors Affecting the Oxygenation Capacity of Disc Aerators in an Oxidation Ditch SystemAbdel Ghaly, Skai EdwardsProblem statement: The use of aerobic biological methods for the treatment of livestock wastes has resulted in a proliferation of mechanical aeration devices to accomplish the desired treatment. The oxidation ditch system with disc aerators is among the aerobic systems that have been used to treat livestock waste. The main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 7,536 accessesView PDF Cite
