Foreign object damage (FOD) occurs when hard, millimeter-sized objects such as gravel or sand and even the pieces of the engine components are ingested into aircraft jet engines. Particles impacting blades produce small indentation craters which can become sites for fatigue crack initiation, severely limiting the lifetime of the blade. In this study, the impact on the edge of a thin plate is in...

a comprehensive evaluation of the residual levels of organochlorine insecticides (ocis) in the sediment cores of cochin estuarine system (ces) is highlighted in this research article. it assessed the distribution pattern and impact of these xenobiotics in this environmental niche. fifteen persistent organochlorine compounds (ocs) were quantitatively analysed in the six sediment core samples col...

The solvent effect of 4 concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (0.5, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0%) on bovine pulp tissue and the level of residual chlorine, pH and surface tension before and after dissolution were studied in vitro. A fragment of bovine pulp was submersed in sodium hypochlorite that circulated in an apparatus with a peristaltic pump and Luer Lok syringe. The higher the concentration of sod...

This paper is concerned with the Residual Gas Fraction measurement and estimation on a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine. A novel incylinder gas sampling technique was employed to obtain cyclic dynamic measurements of CO2 concentration in the compression stroke and in combination with CO2 concentration measurements in the exhaust stroke, cyclic Residual Gas Fraction was meas...

Lithium-brine is an important potential source of lithium. Much research and investigation has been carried out aimed at lithium recovery from brine. Although the distribution and occurrence status of lithium in brine have important implications for lithium recovery, few reports had correlated to this issue. In this article, a study was carried out to explore the lithium migration behavior duri...

Ultrasonic peening treatment (UPT) as a method of severe plastic deformation was used to treat cruciform welded joints of Q345 steel. The application of UPT achieves material surface nanocrystallization of the peening zone, reduces stress concentration, and produces residual compressive stresses at the welded toe. Micro-structure, hardness, stress relief, S-N curve, and the fatigue fracture mec...

since the surface water is one of the main potable water resources, the usage of chlorine as a disinfectant has increased. consequently the production rate of disinfection by-products (dbps) such as trihalomethane (thm) compounds has grown dramatically. in this paper the thms concentration changes in the sangar water treatment plant (swtp) and rasht water distribution system (rwds) is presented...

Genetic relationships of measures of residual feed intake and daily feed intake with serum IGF-I concentrations at 8 wk of age and at 105 kg of BW, serum leptin concentration at 105 kg of BW, meat quality, and different fat accumulation traits on 834 Duroc pigs in 7 generations were estimated. Two measures of residual feed intake were estimated from the differences between actual and predicted ...
