CO2 refrigerant with a high operating pressure has a large difference between the suction and discharge pressures in compressors. Because of a load increase, the high performance and high reliability of compressors are required. Compared to the scroll compressor employing the conventional refrigerant, the thrust load increases in the CO2 scroll compressor. Therefore the design of thrust bearing...

The influence of deformation on aerodynamic characteristics is studied in this paper. To study the influences of deformation magnitude and range separately, a kind of twopart flapping wing model is designed, which separates the deformation magnitude and range, and makes the measurement of deformation easier. A series of wind-tunnel experiments are carried out to explore the influence. The exper...

The subsurface and surface structural geometries of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) fold-and-thrust belt (FTB) foreland basins are interpreted from seismic, well data, geology. Twelve horizons ranging in age Miocene to Lower Jurassic were mapped. Additionally, we outlined extent Sumeini Hawasina allochthonous nappes. tectonic subsidence curves suggest that final major passive margin rifting even...

The Blackfoot Reservoir volcanic field (BRVF), Idaho, USA, is a bimodal that has hosted silicic eruptions during at least two episodes, as recently 58 ka. Using newly collected ground and boat-based gravity data, large negative anomalies ( mGal) are modeled shallow km) intrusions beneath NE-trending alignment of BRVF rhyolite domes tuff rings. Given the trade-off between density contrast model ...

Compressible gas flow inside a convergent-divergent nozzle and its exhaust plume atdifferent nozzle pressure ratios (NPR) have been numerically studied with severalturbulence models. The numerical results reveal that, the SST k–ω model give the bestresults compared with other models in time and accuracy. The effect of changes in value ofdivergence half-angle (ε ) on the nozzle performance, thru...

In this paper, some results are provided for minimum time roll about velocity vector maneuvering with thrust-vectoring and aerodynamic control in effect. The mathematical model for attitude motions of the aircraft is developed. First order necessary conditions for optimality using Pontryagen principle is applied, and the existence of an extreme family of solutions for the maneuver is shown. Mul...

The Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is being developed utilizing electrical and electronic technologies. EMALS is emerging in order to replace the existing steam catapult on naval carriers. Recently, the double-sided linear launcher has drawn increasing attention of researchers. This paper presents the design and analysis of the Linear Hybrid Reluctance Motor (LHRM). This new mot...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of thoracic thrust manipulation vs thoracic non–thrust mobilization in patients with bilateral chronic mechanical neck pain on pressure pain sensitivity and neck pain intensity. Methods: Fifty-two patients (58% were female) were randomly assigned to a thoracic spine thrust manipulation group or of thoracic non–thrust mobilization g...
