This paper details the new design and dynamic simulation of an electro-hydraulic camless engine valve actuator (EH-CEVA) and experimental verification with lift position sensors. In general, camless engine technologies have been known for improving fuel efficiency, enhancing power output, and reducing emissions of internal combustion engines. Electro-hydraulic valve actuators are used to elimin...

The function diagram of active heave compensation hydraulic system has been given, besides, the mathematics model for the principal hydraulic components of the compensation system has been built, and the input-output relation between components has been made clear. Aimed at compensating work capacity for the system, design and research on parameters as the bearing pressure, the initial state an...

This paper presents a modeling approach for three-dimensional simulation of hydraulic fracturing of jointed rock. The base for a successful computer based simulation for productive use is the ability to calculate the fractured volume with sufficient accuracy and efficiency. Especially in cases three dimensional effects have to be taken into account, the common commercial software tools in oil a...

We are studying a hydraulic system design and vehicle dynamic modeling for a development of tire roller system, because those are very important in analysis of tire roller. Generally, tire roller is one of the useful machines in a road construction field and it technically applied for many other construction fields. Also, we conceptualize of new hydraulic and traction system, and define about t...

This research adopts the quasi three-dimensional hydraulic design method for the impeller of high specific speed mixed-flow pump to achieve the purpose of verifying the hydraulic design method and improving hydraulic performance. Based on the two families of stream surface theory, the direct problem is completed when the meridional flow field of impeller is obtained by employing iterative calcu...

This paper describes the scientific principles of Darcy’s law and hydraulic resistance as they relate to the in-ground dispersal of onsite wastewater effluent. A clear understanding of how water moves into the ground via dispersal trenches is needed to facilitate proper system design and effect some standardization of dispersal trench sizing and design. Hydraulic conductivity of the media, hydr...

Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most common methods of well stimulation for reservoirs with low permeability. Hydraulic fracturing increases the flow capacity, alters flow geometry, bypasses damage and improves recovery factor. The pressure of most of Iranian oil reservoirs is declined and consequently the production is reduced. It is necessary to improve the production by using new stimulat...

Automation in the aviation domain has been increasing for the past two decades. Pilot reaction to automation varies from highly favorable to highly critical depending on both the pilot’s background and how effectively the automation is implemented. We describe a user-centered approach for automation that considers the pilot’s tasks and his needs related to accomplishing those tasks. Further, we...
