Dynamical aspects of an adiabatic piston are investigated, based on the mass ratio expansion of the master equation for the piston velocity distribution function. Simple theory for piston motion and relaxation of an ideal gas in a cylinder turns out to reproduce our numerical experiments quantitatively.

Cooperation in prisoner’s dilemma games can usually be sustained only if the game has an infinite horizon. We analyze to what extent the theoretically crucial distinction of finite vs. infinite-horizon games is reflected in the outcomes of a prisoner’s dilemma experiment. We compare three different experimental termination rules in four treatments: a known finite end, an unknown end, and two va...

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effect of different methods for improving the temperature gradient of a specified gasoline engine piston. With a robust FE based software, 3D thermal analyses have been carried out for the piston model. Unlike previous studies, the effects of both fully and locally ceramic layers on the crown top surface were considered. It was found that a fully cer...

In modern engines with higher compression ratios, severe pressures and non-uniform heating up is occurred for the engine parts. The piston as the most critical part among all automotive components has been the subject of numerous studies on calculation of temperature distribution, but thermal stress analyses are limited. In this study, the piston of gasoline engine XU7 which is widespread in Ir...

We consider the propagation of piston mode in an acoustic waveguide obstructed by two screens with small holes. In general, due to features geometry, almost no energy incident wave is transmitted through structure. The goal this article show that tuning carefully distance between screens, which form a resonator, one can get complete transmission. obtain explicit criterion, not so obvious intuit...

Now days, internal combustion engines are used in most of the automobiles and mechanical machineries. The piston is a part without which no internal combustion engine can work i.e., piston plays a vital role in almost all types of vehicles. So, the reliability of piston manufacturing system is most essential for the proper functioning of vehicles. In this paper, fault tree method is used to ana...

Free-piston diesel engines are characterized by freely moving pistons without any rigid crankshaft or camshaft connected to the pistons. This allows a highly compact and e cient engine design, but requires automatic control of the piston motion. This paper present a dynamic mathematical model of a free-piston diesel engine, a control oriented dynamic analysis, and a novel computer-based piston ...

The light absorption ability and morphology of the active components are two of the key factors that determine the energy conversion efficiency in organic solar cells (OSCs). Determining the relative importance of each of these aspects is decisive for the construction of more efficient OSCs. Here we introduce two p-extended derivatives of tetrathiafulvalene as electron donors for solution-proce...
