Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Foam Density on Specific Energy Absorption of Rectangular Steel TubesNirut Onsalung, Chawalit Thinvongpituk, Kulachate PainthongProblem statement: In general, the automotive structure is targeted to absorb high impact energy with least mass as much as possible. This is in order to limit the fuel consumption. Therefore, various techniques to increase the energy absorption with less mass increment have been studied for years. One of those techniques is by filling foam in the tube. This study … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,440 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment and Evaluation of Tractors and Tillage Implements Instrumentation SystemS. A. Al-Suhaibani, A. A. Al-Janobi, Y. N. Al-MajhadiProblem statement: Field machines contribute a major portion of the total cost of crop production. Proper selection and matching of farm machinery is essential in order to reduce the cost of crop production. Performance data for tractors and implements are, therefore, essential for farm machinery operators and manufacturers alike. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,304 accessesView PDF Cite

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 · 7,268 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMarine Slow-Speed Diesel Engine Diagnosis with View to Cylinder Oil SpecificationSergey Victorovich Sagin, Oleksandr Vladymyrovich SemenovThe possibility of marine slow-speed diesel engine cylinder-piston group diagnosis with view to the specification of waste oil taken from the under-piston space has been discussed. The specifics of using high-base cylinder oils in marine slow-speed diesel engines to prevent sulfur corrosion of the cylinders have been described. Typical challenges, arising in the process of using oils for lubricating the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 25 May 2016 · 7,812 accessesView PDF Cite
