We report on a development of a long-range airborne UV high spectral resolution lidar, intended for the detection and characterisation of clear air turbulence (CAT). The detection of turbulence is based on the measurement of density fluctuations associated with the movement of turbulent air masses. These density fluctuations are measured by the variations in the molecular backscatter coefficien...

green fig, which is usually consumed as dry fruit, is one of the important non-oil export agricultural commodities of iran. in this study, some important physical properties of green figs including geometric mean diamter, sphericity, porosity, particle and bulk density and pressure drop across a thin bed were measured at constant moisture content of 6% (dry basis). air flow ranges used in this ...

INTRODUCTION It is well known that " equivalent " sprint race times run with different accompanying wind speeds or at different altitudes are anything but equivalent races. Adjusting these times for atmospheric drag effects has been the focus of many past studies, including but not limited to [1,2,3,4,5] and references therein. The drag force acting on a sprinter running at speed v in a wind w ...

background: in treating patients with radiation, the degree of accuracy for the delivery of tumor dose is recommended to be within ± 5% by icru in report 24. the experimental studies have shown that the presence of low-density inhomogeneity in areas such as the lung can lead to a greater than 30% change in the water dose data. therefore, inhomogeneity corrections should be used in treatment pla...

Winding function method (WFM) provides a detailed and rather simple analytical modeling and simulation technique for analyzing performance of faulty squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs). Such analysis is mainly applicable for designing on-line fault diagnosis techniques. In this paper, WFM is extended to include variable degree of magnetic saturation by applying an appropriate air gap functio...

In this paper, finite-time thermodynamic analysis of an air-standard internal-combustion Dual cycle is performed. Maximum power (MP), maximum power density (MPD), maximum efficient power (MEP) which are three alternative performance criteria are derived. The effects of the design parameters such as volume ratio and extreme temperature ratio of the cycle have been investigated under MP, MPD and ...

Buoyancy artefacts (BAs) are used for the experimental determination of air density. The artefacts used for this comparison were manufactured at the PTB and the KRISS respectively and consist of one hollow cylinder and one bobbin. Mass differences of the PTB and the KRISS BAs in vacuum and in air are measured simultaneously by using the PTB prototype mass comparator. Results of the bilateral co...

Working environment under mining plays an important role in safety of coal mines. The paper analyzes the eight factors of working environment under mining: gas density, dust, temperature, humidity level, air velocity, and harmful air, noise, and working space, calculates the weight of factors and establishes the comprehensive evaluation model with analytic hierarchical model based on unascertai...
