Abstract The concentrated solar dish collector is a promising technology for generating both electricity and thermal energy together and it is termed as concentrated photovoltaic thermal. The important component of the parabolic dish collector is the absorber; where all concentrated lights are falling. The present paper has investigated the heat flux distribution characteristics of the flat plate absorber based solar dish collector by using the ray-tracing simulations. In concentrating dish collector, rim angle and dish diameter are significant factor of the flux distributions. The present stu

This essay was to build a finite element model to find the influence by oil casing geometric imperfection on anti-collapse strength. Two types of oil casing, Ф177.8×10.36mm/P110 andФ127×9.19mm/ P110, was taken for the calculation, considering the influence on anti-collapse strength by casing with two elements separately, ovality and non-uniformity of wall thickness. The calculation show that the anti-collapse strength of perfect casing perform better than that of imperfect casing. Ovality is an important factor for the anti-collapse strength, and the anti-collapse strength decrease rapidly as

The effect of external and integrated humidifiers on the gas distribution among the channels was investigated.

Non-uniformity in the response of spectral image elements is an inevitable phenomenon in hyperspectral imaging, which mainly manifests itself as the presence of band noise in the acquired hyperspectral data. This problem is prominent in the infrared band owing to the detector material, operating environment, and other factors. Non-uniformity is an important factor that can affect the quality of the hyperspectral data, which has a serious impact on both data analysis and applications and requires corrections via technical means wherever possible.

The Zemax® optical simulation tool was used to calculate the optimal parameters of this system, such as heights, widths, and angles. This design aims to improve the light distribution uniformity of blended red-green-blue mini light-emitting diodes. Our simulation results show that this design can achieve 93% light distribution uniformity in a 36 mm × 36 mm area, and the height of this design is less than 5 mm.

The U.S. Constitution contains several limitations on the national taxing power.

Abstract:
High quality factor (Q-factor) is a crucial parameter for the development of precision inertial resonators. Q-factor indicates efficiency of a resonator in retaining its energy during oscillations. This paper explores the effects of different design parameters on Q-factor of a 3D hemispherical (wine-glass) inertial resonator. Thermo-elastic damping (TED) loss mechanisms in a 3D non-inverted wine-glass (hemispherical) shell resonator is systematically investigated and presented in this paper. We investigated TED loss resulting from the effects of hemisphere geometric parameters (such as thickne

Abstract:
In this article, the effects of volute cross section shape and centroid profile of a centrifugal compressor volute were investigated. The performance characteristics of a turbocharger compressor were obtained experimentally by measuring rotor speed and flow parameters at the inlet and outlet of the centrifugal compressor. The three dimensional flow field model of the compressor was obtained numerically solving Navier-Stokes equations with SST turbulence model. The compressor characteristic curves were plotted. For model verification, the results were compared with experimental data, showing go

Abstract:
The aerial image simulation program SPLAT has been generalized to explore the effects of multi­element source designs and possible problems from residual mirror reflectivity variations versus pupil position on image quality in projection x-ray lithography. To model wavefront attenuation, an optical transmission with apopdization (OTA) factor is introduced, which modifies the magnitude of the pupil function versus ray angle. The OTA is expanded in a Taylor series in polar coordinates. A radial OTA variation of 1- 0.25ρ2 which falls from 1.0 at the center of the lens to 0.75 at the lens edge, re

Abstract:
A mathematical model for vapor condensation in cylindrical longitudinally finned minichannel has been proposed taking into account all temperature non-uniformity. The model describes annular and rivulet flow regimes until complete grooves flooding. It is shown that when the model does not account for the wall heat conductivity the maximal calculated enhancement of heat transfer is predicted for the “sharp” trapezoidal fins. The most enhanced heat transfer in the case of non-isothermal fins has been obtained for the curvilinear fins of expanded Adamek’s parametric family. When reducing the heat

The aim of the study is to gather information on three topics: (1) the evaluation and rating of steel bridge protective coatings, (2) coating systems used by various states throughout the United States, and (3) maintenance painting procedures employed by various state department of transportation agencies (DOTs). First, it was found that most state DOTs use either an Element Level type rating of the coating system or a 9–0 NBI type rating; many state DOTs use both methodologies, with one used for state bridges and the other for local bridges. Second, for coating systems, it was found that ther

The Sunshine Coast (unless otherwise specified, Sunshine Coast refers to the region which includes both Sunshine Coast and Noosa council areas) is a classic regional hotspot. In many respects, the Sunshine Coast has assets that make it the “Goldilocks” of Queensland hotspots: “the agility of the region and our collaborative nature is facilitated by the fact that we're not too big, not too small - 330,000 people” (Paddenburg, 2019); “We are in that perfect little bubble of just right of about everything” (Erbacher 2019).

Abstract:
Chile's housing policy is widely regarded as a success. For almost a decade, new construction has been above the level required to provide houses for new families and replace obsolete structures. This raises hopes that within the next decade all families in Chile will occupy dwellings that comply with minimum quality and service standards. This is no small accomplishment for a country just entering the middle ground in the development scale. Moreover, the private sector is taking an increasingly active role in housing production and financing. This too is a significant achievement considering

Abstract:
The primary application area for above ground coating evaluation (AGCES) methods is for unpiggable pipelines. For several reasons, however, AGCES methods are not necessarily limited along these narrow lines. For instance, most ILI tools are incapable of identifying external corrosion (which resulted from coating damage overtime) until the wall loss damage has reached the measurable detection threshold of the ILI tool. Thus, even for piggable pipelines, AGCES methods still come in handy for pipeline integrity. In fact, the most proactive approach for pipeline corrosion integrity management for

Childhood underweight is a consistent public health problem globally. About 12.6 per cent of the total under-five children (85.4 million) were underweight in 2020, while half of the underweight burden (42 million) belonged to the Southeast Asian Region. Being underweight is one of the major risk factors for early neonatal mortality and morbidity in many developing countries. Although the global trend of underweight children has decreased over time, such progress is not uniformly distributed among resource-poor settings.

The project sought to understand factors and mechanisms involved in the hardening of potato tubers. This syndrome inhibits heat softening due to intercellular adhesion (ICA) strengthening, compromising the marketing of industrially processed potatoes, particularly fresh peeled-cut or frozen tubers. However, ICA strengthening occurs under conditions which are inconsistent with the current ideas that relate it to Ca-pectate following pectin methyl esterase (PME) activity or to formation of rhamnogalacturonan (RG)-II-borate.
