The contents of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in Frankfurtertype sausages were investigated in depency on hot smoking conditions (glow smoke), type of casing, back fat content and different types of wood chips. For the smoking experiments three different types of smoke densities and ventilator velocities, three types of casings, four different back fat contents (10%, 20%, 30%, and 39%)...

RWTH participated in the System Combination task of the Fifth Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT 2010). For 7 of the 8 language pairs, we combine 5 to 13 systems into a single consensus translation, using additional n-best reranking techniques in two of these language pairs. Depending on the language pair, improvements versus the best single system are in the range of +0.5 and +1....

The emphasis placed on bonding with the introduction of Acoustic Cement Bond Logs has led to a study of many of the variables influencing this property, as well as methods for improving bond at the casing-cement interface. Special cementing problems concerning gas storage wells and tubingless completion wells have also indicated the need for better pipe-cement bonding. This presentation stresse...

A unit that encloses a motor-compressor and a condenser of refrigerant fluid in a single hermetic casing is presented. After a description of the general advantages of the component compared with the traditional solution, as far as weight, size, cost and very low noise emission are concerned, experimental test results are presented. COP values in different working conditions show that a good en...

A critical phase of oil well completion involves positioning cement between the outer surface of a metal casing and the sides of the well. This task is done by injecting a specially formulated cement slurry down the center of the casing and up the sides of the bore hole. Designing these slurry systems is time consuming and expensive because of the variability of the conditions between wells and...

Production and quality parameters of three commercial strains of cultivated mushroom Agaricus bisporus (Lange, Imbach) were evaluated. A correlation matrix was made between the main parameters. Blancochamp BL-40, a smooth white hybrid, generally produced the greatest number of mushrooms and provided the highest yield, and its firm mushrooms showed high protein, dry matter, and soluble solid con...

Abstract This paper investigates cracking failure of the casing tube. There were longitudinal cracks in heavy oil thermal recovery well occurred an field. The fracture cause was analyzed by macrographic observation, chemical composition analysis, mechanical property test, metallographic scanning electron microscope (SEM) and residual stress calculation. results showed that crack failed originat...

The casing of large electrical generators can be deformed slightly by the rotor's magnetic field. The sound emission produced by these periodic deformations, which could possibly exceed guaranteed noise emission limits, is analyzed analytically and numerically. From the deformation of the casing, the normal velocity of the generator's surface is computed. Taking into account the corresponding s...

This work aims to study the dynamic characteristics of an entire aero-engine casing by experiments using a new type rotating exciter. New vibration sensor layout rules are proposed according experimental results and transmission characteristics. The response is carried out, different measuring points also studied. finite element model engine casing’s structure established obtain natural frequen...
