the objectives in the cold rolling process include improved sheet surface quality, enhanced steel mechanical strength, and better solidification operations. given the increasing demand for higher steel surface quality, more rapid production, and thinner steel plates, more attention has been directed toward the parameter of temperature in cold rolling as a means of achieving the above objectives...

in this paper, the effects of input temperature and compression ratio on the net output work and efficiency of the air standard cycles, i.e. atkinson cycle, diesel cycle and otto cycle are analyzed. we assumed that the compression and power processes are adiabatic and reversible and any convective, conductive and radiative heat transfer to cylinder wall during the heat rejection process may be ...

The primary goal of this work is to introduce two adaptive Steffensen-like methods with memory of the highest efficiency indices. In the existing methods, to improve the convergence order applied to memory concept, the focus has only been on the current and previous iteration. However, it is possible to improve the accelerators. Therefore, we achieve superior convergence orders and obtain as hi...

This paper presents exergy and exergoeconomic analysis and parametric study of a Diesel engine based Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system that produces 277 kW of electricity and 282 kW of heat. For this purpose, the CHP system is first thermodynamically analyzed through energy and exergy. Then cost balances and auxiliary equations are applied to subsystems. The exergoeconomic analysis is based ...

HYPOTHESIS When work hours are limited, improving residents' work efficiency allows more time for key training activities, reduces frustration, and improves work satisfaction. DESIGN Prospective control study. SETTING General surgical service with a trauma program. PARTICIPANTS Five full-time attending physicians, a resident team of 9 members, and 3 surgical assistants. INTERVENTION Reo...

the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of injection parameters on a heavy duty diesel engine performance and emission characteristics. in order to analyze the injection and spray characteristics of diesel fuel with employing high-pressure common-rail injection system, the injection characteristics such as injection delay, injection duration, injection rate, number of nozzle hole...
