The stem xylem conduit dimensions and hydraulic conductivity of chrysanthemum plants (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Tzvelev cv. Cassa) were analysed and quantified. Simple exponential relations describe conduit length distribution, height dependency of conduit length distribution, and height dependency of stem hydraulic conductivity. These mathematical descriptions can be used to model the xylem ...

Sedimentary units generally present anisotropy in their hydraulic properties, with higher hydraulic conductivity along bedding planes, rather than perpendicular to them. This common property leads to a modeling challenge if the sedimentary structure is folded. In this paper, we show that the gradient of the geological potential used by implicit geological modeling techniques can be used to comp...

Automatic hydraulic press is widely used for pressing ceramic wall and floor tiles, the four columns of its frame withstand the all work force when it works, so the columns are the key compartments of the frame, and its work performance has an important impact on the structural performance of the entire automatic hydraulic press. Took the column thread connection of 32.8MN automatic hydraulic p...

_ Hydraulic wind power transfer systems deliver the captured energy by the blades to the generators differently and through an intermediate medium i.e. hydraulic fluid. This paper develops a control system for a nonlinear model of hydraulic wind power transfer systems. To maintain a fixed frequency electrical voltage by the system, the generator should remain at a constant rotational speed. The...

Nowadays, hydraulic actuators play an important role in a modern industry where controlled force or position with high accuracy is the most significant demand. This paper presents a new kind of hydraulic load simulator (HLS) for conducting performance and stability test in the bench system where force control is important. The system model consists of a hybrid hydro-electric actuator and anothe...

Pumped storage stations undergo numerous transition processes, which make the pump turbines go through the unstable S-shaped region. The hydraulic transient in S-shaped region has normally been investigated through numerical simulations, while field experiments generally involve high risks and are difficult to perform. In this research, a pumped storage model composed of a piping system, two mo...

Circadian rhythms enable plants to anticipate daily environmental variations, resulting in growth oscillations under continuous light. Because plants daily transpire up to 200% of their water content, their water status oscillates from favourable during the night to unfavourable during the day. We show that rhythmic leaf growth under continuous light is observed in plants that experience large ...

Flooding is an international problem that represents the most common and destructive of all weather-related natural hazards. Moreover, man-made interventions such as deforestation, clearance of land and the poor design of hydraulic works such as bridges and culverts can often intensify that risk. This paper demonstrates a complete hydraulic study that was performed in a culvert located in Lofor...

The effect of commonly used indigenous drugs for hepatic disorders i.e. Tinospora cordifolia, (Guduchi/Amrita), Andrographis paniculata (Kalmegha), Picrorhiza kurroa (Kutki), Phyllantnus niruri (Bhoomyamalaki) and Berberis aristata (Daruharidra) was tested on the hydraulic permeability of water in the presence of bile salt through a transport cell model. The data on hydraulic permeability were ...

[Abstract] An automated E/H steering controller is essential for autonomous off-road equipment. This paper presents a methodology for designing the E/H steering controller through a combination of testing and simulation. The steering kinematic model provides the steering linkage gain between the hydraulic actuator and the front wheel. The model makes it possible to close the steering control lo...
