reactivity controlled compression ignition (rcci) is a novel combustion concept which uses port fuel injection (pfi) of a low reactivity fuel and direct injection (di) of a high reactivity fuel with optimum multiple injection to provide a stratified mixture inside the combustion chamber. piston bowl design has a considerable effect on engine’s pollutant emissions specially unburned hydrocarbons...

We report findings regarding otolaryngologist-confirmed rhinitis, current exposure to MWF aerosols, fungi, and endotoxins for workers in a plant manufacturing automobile piston rings. Questionnaire data showed that 61.5% of 187 workers exhibited rhinitis-related symptoms. Rhinitis was confirmed in 99 of 115 workers whom were medically examined. Otolaryngologist-confirmed rhinitis was present in...

The question of plant layout is central in a manufacturing process. This question becomes even more important in a mass customization context, when large product diversity has to be managed. The manufacturing process, and specifically the plant layout, has to be designed taking into account this characteristic. When all products are similar, manufacturing plant layouts are relatively easy to de...

This paper describes one method to attain a robust positioning control of pneumatic driving system comprising a pneumatic cylinder and PCM digital control valves. A pneumatic driving system has become one of interests in the industrial fields, however, the control characteristics are inevitably affected by the friction force and parameter changes of plant due to air compressibility. The control...

We study the impact of activity-based costing (ABC) on adoption of world-class manufacturing (WCM) practices and plant performance. In contrast to earlier research that estimates the direct impact of ABC on plant performance, we develop an alternative research model to study the role of world-class manufacturing practices as a mediator of the impact of ABC. Analysis of data from a large cross-s...

Abstract The Piston is a crucial element of an I.C engine. reciprocating component the engine that converts thermal energy and pressure liberated by ignition air-fuel into mechanical work. design selection material challenging assignment for designer. This paper describes procedure piston four-stroke petrol optimization with different materials was carried out in present analysis done consideri...

A new energy-saving mechanical system with automatically controlled air valves has been proposed by investigator and the preliminary model setup has been tested. The testing results indicated the proper function of this energy-saving mechanical system. This mechanical system model has been simulated and analyzed by the computational aided engineering solution. The major advantages of this mecha...

In this research, computer simulation is used for Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) plant layout analysis. The current layout of this manufacturing plant is a process layout, which is not suitable due to the nature of an EMS that has high-volume and high-variety environment. Moreover, quick response and high flexibility are also needed. Then, cellular manufacturing layout design was determ...
