This document provides information about anti-icing and de-icing systems for aircraft. It discusses the history of such systems and describes several common types, including pneumatic de-icing boots, electric thermal systems, bleed air, electro-mechanical systems, and weeping wing systems. It also explains the theory of operation for anti-icing systems on windshields and pitot tubes. The document includes diagrams and discusses components of models being constructed to demonstrate anti-icing of a windshield, pitot tube, and airfoil leading edge.
This document discusses various aircraft anti-icing and de-icing systems. It begins with introductions and definitions of anti-icing, which prevents ice formation, and de-icing, which removes already formed ice. It then describes different types of systems, including pneumatic boot deicing that uses inflatable boots to remove ice, bleed air systems that use hot air from aircraft engines, electric thermal systems that use graphite foil heaters, and electromechanical systems that use actuators to mechanically remove ice. The document concludes by noting improvements still needed in anti-icing systems to reduce fuel consumption while maintaining efficiency.
Aircraft anti-icing systems help prevent the formation of ice on surfaces during flight through mechanisms like heating or applying chemicals. Ice buildup can reduce lift and increase drag, potentially causing loss of control. Common anti-icing methods include using bleed air from engines to heat surfaces, electric resistance heating of components like propeller blades and windshields, and applying chemicals from slinger rings or through weeping wing systems. Detection of ice is also important, and new technologies aim to only activate anti-icing when ice is actually present.

3) ProBlade offers a significant improvement in leading edge protection that can help secure annual energy production as tip speeds and rainfall in turbine locations increase globally.
IRJET- Optimized Blade Replacement Solution in Wind Turbine using Craneless T...IRJET Journal
This document discusses an optimized blade replacement solution for wind turbines using craneless technology. It proposes a cost-cutting system for removing and reinstalling turbine blades without the need for large cranes. The system uses pulleys and tackle arrangement principles to lift and lower the blades. A receptacle holds the blade during lifting/lowering. Load bearing and holding mechanisms support and carry the blade vertically. This craneless solution aims to reduce costs and increase accessibility compared to conventional crane-based blade replacement methods.

CFD Analysis of Delta Winged Aircraft – A ReviewIRJET Journal
This document reviews computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis that has been conducted on delta wing aircraft and airfoils with surface modifications like dimples. Several studies are summarized that used CFD to analyze how dimples affect lift and drag on airfoils at various angles of attack. Dimples function similarly to vortex generators by creating vortices that delay flow separation and reduce pressure drag. Researchers have found that dimples can increase an aircraft's aerodynamic performance characteristics and maneuverability by reducing drag and stall. The document reviews multiple studies that analyzed different dimple shapes and configurations on symmetric and asymmetric airfoil profiles.
Aviation contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions and other impacts on the atmosphere. Airplanes emit carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen oxides, and other gases. Some emissions like CO2 have a direct impact by trapping heat, while others like nitrogen oxides indirectly impact climate by forming ozone or contrails. The altitude of flight also influences impacts, as the stratosphere is affected differently than the troposphere. This report aims to study aviation's climate impacts and identify ways to reduce emissions through optimization of operations and alternative fuels.
Effect of humanoid shaped obstacle on the velocityiaemedu
This document summarizes a study on the effect of a human-shaped obstacle on the velocity profiles of an air curtain. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to model air flow through an air curtain system with and without an obstacle. The presence of the obstacle disrupted the smooth, layered flow of the air curtain. Regions of low or no velocity were observed below the hands and legs of the obstacle, weakening the air curtain's effectiveness. While the obstacle improved velocities near the floor, it created areas where infiltration between indoor and outdoor air could occur more easily. The midsection area of the air curtain, where direct air enters the doorway, had the greatest influence on velocity profiles.

This document summarizes wind tunnel testing of the NACA 4412 airfoil at different angles of attack. The testing was conducted to analyze lift and drag forces on the airfoil at varying angles. The results found that lift increases with angle of attack until a maximum is reached, after which drag becomes dominant and stall occurs. Graphs and tables presented in the document compare experimental pressure and friction coefficient data from the wind tunnel tests to computational fluid dynamics simulations using different turbulence models. The models were able to accurately predict flow separation locations and other characteristics.

Electrical Isolation procedure onboard shipShoaib Ahmed
Electricity is a hidden and soundless killer. So, dealing with electricity is inherently hazardous and it is tough to assure that safe working conditions are in place. Undoubtedly, safe electrical isolation is the first prior onboard ship. Both the seafarer and the company have responsibilities to ensure a safe working environment.
Shipboard employees face various problems that can make servicing operations more
challenging, such as:
# Large and complex vessel and vessel machinery, facilities, and systems;
# Machinery, equipment, and systems having multiple power sources, insulating points
and energy types; and
# Difficulty in identifying all energy sources due to faulty engineering drawings and
schematics.

- On March 3, 1974, Turkish Airlines Flight 981, a DC-10 aircraft, crashed at Orly Airport in Paris shortly after takeoff, killing all 346 people on board. This was the worst aviation accident at the time.
- The crash was caused by the aircraft's rear cargo door opening during takeoff due to a faulty latching mechanism designed by McDonnell Douglas. The open door caused rapid decompression which severed hydraulic lines and made the plane impossible to control.
- Despite a similar accident occurring in 1972, McDonnell Douglas and the FAA failed to properly address the faulty cargo door design, contributing to the deadlier crash of Flight 981. This raised further concerns about safety issues with the DC
Small, almost imperceptible amounts of ice on the upper surface of an aircraft's wing can significantly degrade performance and cause potential loss of control during takeoff. Pilots are urged to thoroughly inspect the entire wing surface, including tactile inspection, to ensure no ice, frost or snow accumulation before takeoff. Even minute amounts of upper wing surface contamination that are difficult to detect visually can reduce stall margins and should not be considered safe for takeoff.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
