the effective factors of forward speed, cylinder rotation, and clearance between a combine’s cylinder and concave on wheat kernel breakage and seed germination were studied in karaj area using a 955 model john dear combine. this study was conducted on three levels of adjustment for each of the variables, 1.2, 1.8 and 2.5 km/hr for forward speed, 800, 900, 1000 rpm for cylinder rotation as well ...

multistage and semi-mechanized harvesting of rice in khouzestan province, iran, causes much loss. depending on available facilities and conditions, either spike-tooth or rasp-bar cylinders are employed with either direct or indirect combine harvesting methods. the present research studied the effect of these different harvesting methods on the amount of losses in two rice varieties in 2001-2002...

an experimental study was carried out on the wake of a cylinder on the back of which a plate is installed parallel to the fluid flow, with different terminal angles, where the reynolds number is 50000. at the end of the plate, blades with the height of 0.25 equal to the cylinder diameter and with 45, 90 and 135 degrees angle from the horizon, are installed where the cylinder diameter is equal t...

Loading conditions and complex geometry have led the cylinder heads to become the most challenging parts of diesel engines. The aim of this study is to compare the distribution of temperature and stress in the aluminum and magnesium cylinder heads under thermo-mechanical loads. The three-dimensional model of the cylinder heads was simulated in abaqus software and a two-layer viscoplasticity mod...

magnetic field effects on the elastic response of polymeric piezoelectric cylinder reinforced with carbon nanotubes (cnts) is studied. the cylinder is subjected to internal pressure, a constant electric potential difference at the inner and outer surfaces, thermal and magnetic fields. the mori-tanaka model is used for obtaining the equivalent material properties of the cylinder. based on the ch...

This problem was suggested by Bradley Klee. For the related case of one cylinder rolling inside another, see [1]. When one cylinder is directly above the other, we define the line of contact of the lower cylinder, 1, with the horizontal plane to be the z-axis, at x = y = 0. Then, the condition of rolling without slipping for the lower cylinder is that when it has rolled (positive) distance x1, ...

In this paper, effects of EHD actuators on hydrodynamic behavior and heat transfer of air flow over a circular cylinder were considered. Pressure and temperature distributions around the cylinder were measured in presence of wire-plate EHD actuators. The Reynolds number based on cylinder diameter (d) were 3500, 7000. Experiments were performed for various configurations. Based on obtained resul...
