I would never have dreamed of a way that my artwork from the past would today give me the opportunity to earn a passive income working from home while doing what I love to do, being creative. My following slides are about other Print-on-demand shops.
1) The document discusses simulation of spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engines, with a focus on spray models for CI engines.
2) For SI engine simulation, models of carbureted and port fuel injected engines are presented and key parameters such as power, efficiency and emissions are reported.
3) For CI engine simulation, the impact of design factors like number/angle of injectors, bowl geometry, and injection timing are examined through three cases modeled. Visualizations of fuel spray for each case are provided.
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 summarizes a laboratory study on treating and reusing greywater. The study involved collecting greywater from bathroom sinks and washing areas of an apartment building.

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.
