Abstract:
Rituals are embedded in a particular time and space, and so are their objects and meanings. The ‘chronotope’ we focus on here is the occasional—partly self-chosen, partly societally forced—ritual death of Hindu widows along with their deceased husbands. Although never widely practiced, widow-burning caught the imagination of Europeans as illustrating both Hinduism’s ‘barbarity’ and its ‘high conjugal ideals’. Although satī had been outlawed since 1829, in 1987 a new case inflamed opposing sentiments. In 2002, in a passage called ‘Ritual Criticism and Widow Burning’, Ronald Grimes drew attention to it as a rite of passage that calls for normative comments and ritual criticism. Since then, in circles of ritual studies Hindu, widow-burning has occasionally been repeated as one of the ritual practices in need of condemnation. In order to put this rare practice, banned since almost 200 years ago, back into a proper time–place perspective, both its ritual details and its sociocultural contexts are revisited. Finally, we propose some case-specific factors that could serve as retrospective ritual criticism. We conclude with a plea for time–space sensitivity.

Abstract:
The legal debate in india over the worship and glorification of sati (widow burning, previously spelled “suttee”) stands unresolved at present. After several years of controversy, the practice of worshipping sati was made illegal in 1987 after the death of a young Rajput woman named Roop Kanwar. At that time the Indian government revised the colonial legislation banning widow immolation to include sati glorification and thereby outlawed ceremonies, processions, or functions that eulogize any historical person who has committed sati. The law furthermore prohibited the creation of trusts or fundraising to preserve the memory of such persons. This legal debate over sati worship provides the context in which this essay examines the cultural politics of how Calcutta Marwaris, a wealthy business community, have been among the most vehement defenders of sati worship in the last several decades.

Abstract:
This study deals with the changing ways in which Westerners in India sought to understand and represent the Hindu rite of sati (widow-burning). Beginning with the fables of the medieval period the thesis goes on to illustrate how the heterogeneity and ambivalence of the Early Modern travellers’ response, which viewed sati primarily in sociological terms, gave way to a more homogeneous and essentialist interpretation during the 18th Century, which represented sati primarily in terms of its religious significance and its resonances with patriarchal gender ideology. It then goes on to look at the great debate about sati that took place between 1805 and 1830 and the way in which 18th Century preconceptions about sati religious status formed the context for Government policy on the subject during this period. I also look at the popular discourse on sati and the ways in which British fascination with it during this period reflected underlying social concerns in Britain at this time, including worries about women’s nature and gender relations, religion, suicide, madness and corporeal punishment. The thesis then goes on to look at the ways in which abolition in British India affected attitudes to sati in the Princely States, with a discussion of how Bengali and Rajput sati was differently interpreted (the former as degraded, the latter as heroic). It is my intention through this study to illustrate the processes through which colonial understanding was formulated, and to represent it not as reliant primarily on the changing relationship of power between West and East, or as a unidirectional process dialectic and multivariate process in which India impacted on thoughts and ideas in Europe as well. By showing that changing attitudes to sati were dependent as much, if not more, on social and cultural trends at home as they were on the political relationship. We can understand Western reactions to sati as being as much about the recognition and interpretation of similarity as the assertion of difference. Thus the traditional view of colonial knowledge formation as based on racial divisions can be reinterpreted as one crossout by issues of gender and class, and a myriad of other social and cultural concerns, providing a more complex and varied image of the East-West encounter.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to present a critical analysis of how certain themes of the Norse pagan religion are portrayed in ten selected textbooks used for Religious Science education in grades one through nine. The themes included in the analysis are; the description of the transition from the Norse Pagan religion to Christianity; Adam of Bremen’s portrayal of human sacrifice, and lastly Ibn Fadhlan’s characterization of widow burning. By using a critical knowledge text analysis, and applying a theoretical starting point that pedagogical material analyses and interprets events from a specific perspective; in this case from a Christian perspective, I have from the study concluded that the chapters covering the Norse pagan religion in these textbooks have a distinguished Christian bias seen as the norm. The themes analysed in this study all describe different phenomena in a similar way and make use of the same sources, even though these are often questioned. The Christian religion is delegated a prominent role whereas the Norse pagan religion is portrayed as it’s opposite, undeveloped and barbaric.

Abstract:
Pour mieux comprendre la combustion en mode stratifié, la propagation de flammes au sein de stratifications de richesse laminaire ou turbulente a été étudiée par des mesures simultanées de richesse et de vitesse effectuées par couplage de la PIV et de la PLIF. L'accent a été mis sur le développement de méthodes permettant d'améliorer la qualité des mesures locales. En particulier, un nouvel algorithme de PIV permettant la mesure locale de la vitesse des gaz frais véritablement à l'entrée de la zone de préchauffage a été développé. Pour améliorer la résolution,les mailles de calcul s'adaptent localement à la topologie de la flamme, pour tenir compte de la forme du front de flamme et de l'expansion des gaz. L'analyse statistique des mesures conditionnée sur la richesse locale a permis de caractériser les propriétés de la flamme soumise à une stratification de richesse dans un écoulement laminaire et turbulent, en particulier en mettant en évidence un effet mémoire.

Abstract:
Sati in British India came to simultaneously refer to the widow-burning rite as well as to the self-immolating widow. With growing imperialist interests in the Empire in India, the British administration detected in the sati issue a powerful opportunity to promote the image of a progressive, reform-minded, benevolent Raj. An endeavour to know how Indian women themselves portray sati in their writings is of unfailing interest. Caught between the loud crossfire of the two warring camps of pro- and anti-Sati campaigns, the Indian woman—both the subject and the object of the entire sati discourse—hardly gets a chance to claim for herself the attention of a perceptive audience. The silence of the sati victim is, of course, nearly insurmountable and only a voice, seeped through another agency, reaches us. This chapter concentrates on three such mediated voices (Cornelia Sorabji, Snehalata Sen, and Sita Devi) as presented in their fiction.

Abstract:
No work on marriage in Rajasthan would be complete without reference to the practice of Sati and widowhood as Rajasthan still has the dubious distinction of having cases of Sati or bride burning. It is attempted to understand the phenomena of Sati and Jauhar in their historical context as well as the taboo on widow remarriages as these are seen as institutional forms of women’s oppression. What did the term Sati denote; how the practice of Sati in Rajasthan was different from other regions; which castes practiced Sati; whether it was voluntary or obligatory; did it adhere to the ideals of Sati Savitri, that is, the virtuous woman; all these questions have been taken up. The actual political, economic, social, religious factors responsible for this rite have been examined. The extent to which widow remarriage was prevalent among various castes and the property rights exercised by the widows, a crucial aspects determining their position has also been looked into.

Abstract:
This chapter treats the Ṛgvedic conceptions of death and what happens after death. It is very striking that several of the crucial concepts found in Classical Hinduism—karma and rebirth—are entirely absent from the Ṛgveda. What little the Ṛgveda says about what happens after death suggests that there is a world of the dead, presided over by Yama, the first to die and therefore king of the dead, and populated by the ancestors. The journey there is difficult, but, at least for those who arrive there, the realm of Yama is paradisal. The principal way of disposing of the dead was cremation, though burial is also mentioned. The institution of satī (widow-burning) is also not found in the Ṛgveda; the Ṛgvedic widow may ritual mount the funeral pyre but is called to return to life and indeed to remarriage.

Abstract:
A number of fire ventilation scenarios were investigated in order to identify the proper ventilation scheme for conducting design fire tests in a medium-sized residential room of a size of 4.2 m long, 3.8 m wide and 2.4 m high. The ventilation schemes were based on using a window, door, or both with different sizes. The fuel package that was used in all scenarios consisted of a mock-up sofa made of polyurethane foam and two wood cribs underneath it. The selection of this fuel package is supported by fire statistics that many fatal residential fires begin with an item of upholstered furniture. The CFD technique was used to conduct the numerical simulations for eleven ventilation scenarios using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) version 5. The effect of window and door sizes, and fire load location on the heat release rate, burning rate, temperature during the period of fully-developed fire (post-flashover), and the onset of post-flashover and its duration were investigated.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract PPV Fans (Positive Pressure Ventilation Fans) are used in firefighting to remove smoke from a burning building, so that fire fighters can have a clear view inside the house and injured people do not have to breathe toxic smoke. This can be done by placing a PPV fan in a distance of about two meters in front of a door of the burning building. On another, carefully chosen position in the building, e. g. a window, a door or at the roof an opening has to be created, where the smoke can leave the building. The same volumetric flow rate of gas that is blown into the building by the PPV fan has to leave the building at a chosen opening. Because the gas entering the building is air and the gas leaving the building is a mixture of smoke and air, the smoke concentration in the building can be reduced. To test the performance of such PPV fans, a test building with a door in the first floor and a window in the 3rd floor has been built. To measure the volumetric flow rate of the smoke and air mixture through the window in the 3rd floor that is leaving the building, a flow meter nozzle was designed. The design process was done using the commercial Navier Stokes solver Star CCM+, where three nozzle designs, such as a nozzle with constant velocity increase, a quarter circle nozzle and a non-curved nozzle were investigated for different volumetric flow rates. Also, a rounding at the window, where the nozzle is placed, was investigated to prevent flow detachment and shock losses at the inlet of the nozzle. The volumetric flow rate through the nozzle can be calculated, by measuring the pressure at the nozzle wall (before the contraction) and applying Bernoulli’s law, the continuity equation and assuming atmospheric pressure at the free jet flow at the end of the nozzle. The so calculated volumetric flow rate was compared with the actual flow rate, given by the numerical CFD simulations. With these values, the nozzle specific coefficient of discharge for several volumetric flow rates has been calculated and a function fitting was done to get obtain analytical relation between pressure and volumetric flow rate. The detailed design process of the three nozzles, the numerical results of the CFD studies and the determination of the nozzle specific coefficients of discharge are shown and discussed in detail in this work.

Full text
Abstract:
Surface-stabilized combustion is credited with high burning rates, extended lean flammability limits, wide modulation range and other advantages. This makes it an attractive technology for compact low-emission combustors. The experimental gas turbine surface burners reported to this date are produced from compressed and sintered Fe-Cr-Al fiber mats. The authors have developed a new concept of surface burner fabricated by braiding ceramic cords around a ceramic frame. This simple method produces a basket-type surface suitable for stabilizing lean premixed flames over a broad range of operating conditions. The use of ceramics extends possibilities for operation at very high inlet temperatures with reduced risks of material sintering and oxidation. This paper presents test results with an experimental burner on a pressurized combustion rig with optical access. The experiments were performed under the following conditions: inlet temperatures of 22–740 C, pressures of 1–3 bar, thermal power between 4 kWTh and 32 kWTh and equivalence ratios of 0.28–0.95. Measurements of flue gas composition and pressure drop are also reported in the paper. The operating window for low-NOx and low-CO combustion is analyzed. With the demonstrated performance, the burner could cover the operating envelope of a 3 kWe recuperated micro turbine [1]–[2] with no pilot and no staging. This would also limit NOx to <40 ppm @ 0% O2 within the micro turbine load range of 100% to 50%.

Abstract:
To protect against global warming, a massive influx of renewable energy is expected. Although hydrogen is a renewable media, its storage and transportation in large quantity is difficult. Ammonia, however, is a hydrogen energy carrier and carbon-free fuel, and its storage and transportation technology is already established. Although ammonia combustion was studied in the 1960s in the USA, the development of an ammonia combustion gas turbine had been abandoned because combustion efficiency was unacceptably low. Since that time, in the combustion field, ammonia has been thought of as a fuel N additive in the study of NOx formation. Recent demand for hydrogen carrier revives the usage of ammonia combustion, but no one has attempted an actual design setup for ammonia combustion gas turbine power generation. The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan successfully performed ammonia-kerosene co-fired gas turbine power generation in 2014, and ammonia-fired gas turbine power generation in 2015. In the facilities, a regenerator-heated, diffusion-combustion micro-gas turbine is used, and its high combustor inlet temperature enables high thermal efficiency of ammonia combustion compared with that of methane combustion. Adoption of the regenerator increased combustor inlet temperature and enhanced flame stability in ammonia-air combustion. Although NOx emission from a gas turbine combustor is high, a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) after gas turbine combustor reduces NOx emission to less than 10 ppm. This means that the ammonia combustion gas turbine design, abandoned in the 1960s for its unacceptably low combustion efficiency, has performed successfully with regenerator and SCR technology. However, the weakness of these facilities was that they required large-size SCR equipment in order to suppress a high concentration of NOx. Although NOx reduction in the combustion process is desirable, low NOx combustion technology is difficult because ammonia had been thought of as a source of fuel-NO. In the case of premixed ammonia-air flame, there exists a low emission window of NOx and NH3 in a certain equivalence ratio, but combustion intensity is very low because the laminar burning velocity of NH3-air is one-fifth that of CH4-air. This means that, when utilizing the window of premixed ammonia-air flame, scale-up of the combustion chamber or fuel additives for enhancement of flame stability is necessary. This study shows that the addition of H2 is effective for low NOx combustion with high combustion efficiency. In addition, H2 can be easily made from NH3 decomposition. The other option is diffusion combustion. Further research on low NOx combustion is needed.

Full text
Abstract:
The focus in research year 05 was on the optimization of optical coupling and minimization of laser energy especially in connection with very lean combustion and with high exhaust gas recirculation rates for low NOx emissions. The direct comparison of laser ignition with conventional spark ignitions, without any measures implemented in favor of laser ignition (high compression ratio, high turbulence ratio), consistently shows advantages in the case of laser ignition. With extension of the Lambda window, in the case of a spark ignition engine with a 2.4 1 piston displacement it is possible to shift the engine 0.3 units in the direction of “lean combustion” (possible reduction of NOx level less than 30% of the state of the art); EGR compatibility is increased by about 15% to a recirculation rate of about 40%. With regard to EGR compatibility, in coordination with SWRI (HEDGE Program) similar tests on determination of potential were carried out as well. In this case too no essential measures were implemented in favor of the exploitation of the potential of laser ignition; however, a minor increase of the compression ratio already allows recognition of the theoretically possible and expected potentials. Regarding stoichiometric conditions, from the viewpoint of the researchers working jointly on the project it is possible to reduce the energy to less than 1 mJ. Conversely, in the event of the utilization of lean-burn combustion, appreciably more energy must be provided. Additionally, measures regarding combustion control in the area of the extended lean-burn limit must also be carried out. Only then is it possible to ensure optimal values for burning durations and the variation coefficient. Initial results in this regard will also be presented.

Abstract:
Contemporary plate rolling mills and pinch pass mills, which are unstable during the rolling process, are all statically indeterminate structures influenced by micro-scale parameters. The micro-scale parameters include bending deformations of the rolls and the side clearances between the chocks and the side surfaces of the housing window. All these are less than 1 mm, and they have an important effect on the skeletal structure of the roll systems of the mill. If the influence of micro-scale parameters is not considered in the design of the rolling mill, the skeletal structure of the roll system is incomplete and lacks kinematic links and pairs. The statically indeterminate nature of traditional rolling mills results in numerous disadvantages, including the frequent burning loss of the end-thrust bearing caused by excessive axial forces, the lateral movement of the strip owing to the deviation of the rolling load acting on the both ends of backup roll, the short service life of the four-row radial roller bearings on the back-up roll, and the quality of product tends to deteriorate due to the unstable operation of the control system, to mention a few. Because of the flattening effect between the rolls, the setting of the offset distance does not achieve the desired purpose and leads to the deviation of rolling load due to the asymmetric cross between the roll axes. To alleviate the above shortcomings, a new type of rolling mill with a statically determinate structure in which the horizontal offset distance between the roll axes is set to zero is thus proposed. In order to keep the rolls parallel and prevent cross between the rolls, a thrust device is designed, which also ensures sufficient free space to allow convenient roll replacement and allow for the thermal expansion of the chocks. In addition, back-up roll systems with component force bases as well as intermediate roll systems are designed in accordance with the theory of statically determinate characteristics with micro-scale parameters.
