This document analyzes the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of flue gases over a valve spindle with rotor wings in 2-stroke marine diesel engines. It aims to increase the time between overhauling (TBO) of the engines by modifying the rotor wing design parameters. The study models the spindle-rotor assembly and analyzes temperature, pressure and rotational effects of exhaust gases on the spindle using ANSYS. Modifying the rotor wing inclination angle is found to give more uniform corrosion and increase spindle rotation angle, potentially extending its lifeline. Validation shows the CFD results match published engine data, demonstrating the methodology can help optimize spindle design for reduced maintenance costs.
This document summarizes research applying an ant colony optimization algorithm to solve the 3D constrained rectangular bin packing problem. The goal is to pack arbitrary sized 3D rectangular bins into standard sized containers in a way that minimizes empty space. The algorithm considers constraints like placement, overlapping, stability and develops a packing pattern represented by matrices. Experiments show the ant colony approach improves performance over other algorithms and is computationally efficient for solving this NP-hard bin packing optimization problem.

This honors thesis studied how plant seed traits mediate changes in plant communities in Wisconsin's unburned prairies. The study tested hypotheses about differences in seed traits between burned and unburned prairie sites. Seed mass, coat thickness, and shape index were measured for species at different sites. Results showed unburned sites had higher average seed mass than burned sites, and a strong negative correlation between seed shape and mass. While some relationships between traits and fire history were found, fire was the main driver of community composition. The implications are that a lack of fires since the 1950s has influenced prairie makeup, and prescribed burns should be more widely used as a management tool.
This document summarizes a study on optimizing and reducing the weight of a universal joint yoke through the use of composite materials. The study first analyzes a conventional universal joint yoke made of SM45C steel using finite element analysis. It then models modified universal joint yokes made of carbon/epoxy composite and Kevlar/epoxy composite. Calculations of torsional strength, buckling strength, and bending natural frequency show that both composite designs meet requirements while reducing weight compared to steel. Static stress analyses and modal analyses using FEA are presented and compared between materials. The study aims to improve mechanical properties and reduce weight of universal joints through composite material optimization.

This study optimized the specific fuel consumption of a single cylinder diesel engine operating on blends of palm seed oil and diesel fuel. The parameters investigated were injection pressure, engine load, and blend ratio. A Taguchi experimental design with 16 runs was used to evaluate these parameters at different levels. Response curve analysis identified that an injection pressure of 200 bar, an engine load of 10 kg, and a blend ratio of B0D100 (100% diesel) produced the lowest specific fuel consumption of 0.28. The engine load had the greatest influence on specific fuel consumption, followed by injection pressure, with blend ratio having the smallest effect. The Taguchi method was able to optimize the engine parameters to minimize specific fuel consumption in fewer experimental trials
El documento resume la evolución de la democracia desde su creación en la antigua Grecia hasta la actualidad. Explica cómo se expandió otorgando más derechos pero también pasó por períodos de dictadura en Suramérica y cómo se derribaron regímenes opresivos en otros lugares. Finalmente, destaca que la democracia es frágil y debe ser protegida a través del respeto por los derechos humanos.

This document summarizes a study on construction sequence delays for road infrastructure projects. It begins with an abstract that outlines the objectives of studying delay causes and factors that contribute to construction sequence delays for road projects. It then reviews literature on previous studies related to construction delays, earned value management, and delay analysis methods. The document describes the methodology used, which was a questionnaire survey to identify and rank significant delay causes. It presents the results of the survey, identifying the top 10 delay causes. It then describes a case study analysis of a road project in India using earned value management to validate the questionnaire findings. The key delays identified for the case study project were related to land acquisition, environmental issues, and coordination challenges.

This document presents the results of a pushover analysis conducted on 9 structural models with varying plan irregularities. The models were analyzed using ETABS software to determine key parameters such as lateral displacement, story drift, base shear, and performance point. The results show that structures with complex geometries experience greater lateral displacement, story drift, and base shear compared to regular structures. Pushover curves indicate that irregular structures may not achieve desired performance levels at lower displacement thresholds. In conclusion, simple and regular building geometries perform better during earthquakes by attracting fewer seismic forces.
The document discusses optimizing the machining parameters for surface roughness when machining Acetal homopolymer on a lathe machine. It uses the Taguchi method to design experiments to determine the optimal levels of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and tool material that minimize surface roughness. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and signal-to-noise ratios are used to analyze the effects of the turning parameters on surface roughness and identify the best combination of parameters. The goal is to perform the machining operation efficiently while meeting specifications for surface roughness.
The document experimentally investigates the performance, emissions, and combustion of a diesel engine operating in CNG-diesel dual fuel mode with varying CNG injection rates and operating pressures. Tests were conducted at 6 LPM and 13.5 LPM of CNG injected at diesel injection pressures of 200, 220, and 240 bar. Results show brake thermal efficiency increased with higher pressure but decreased with more CNG, while emissions varied with both factors. CO2 and NOx increased at 220 bar then decreased at 240 bar for all fuels, while CO and UHC decreased with higher pressure and more CNG substitution. Peak heat release rate was highest for pure diesel at 240 bar due to better atomization.
This document characterizes and analyzes the use of rice husk ash as a pozzolanic material in concrete as a partial replacement for cement. Researchers conducted experiments replacing cement with rice husk ash at rates from 0-40% in concrete mixes. The rice husk ash was collected from rice mills in Lucknow, India and tested for its pozzolanic properties. Test results showed that compressive strengths were maintained with replacements of up to 10-15% rice husk ash and that rice husk ash can be considered an effective pozzolan. The study concluded that rice husk ash has potential as a supplementary cementitious material to reduce the cost of concrete while providing adequate strength and durability.
This document summarizes a study that used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the effects of suction and blowing techniques on the performance of an S-shaped diffuser. The study found that suction at the outer inflection plane improved pressure recovery by around 8%, while blowing at the inner inflection plane provided only marginal improvement of around 3%. The CFD model used a k-ε turbulence model and was validated against experimental data, showing reasonably good agreement. Key performance parameters like pressure gain coefficient and non-uniformity index were calculated and used to evaluate the diffuser performance with and without suction and blowing.
