The evolutionary development of new engine materials and designs has allowed turbines to be operated at much higher temperature and achieve higher efficiencies, thus new materials have been developed to meet these new challenges. There is a growing need to assess the material behavior in these harsh environments so that structural models can be validated and engine components can be monitored during operation. This book demonstrated a ceramic strain sensor and temperature sensor based on reactively sputtered indium-tin-oxide (ITO) thin films have been developed to monitor the aerospace propulsion systems. Ceramic ITO strain sensors were prepared by reactive sputtering in various nitrogen/oxygen/argon partial pressures. A robust ceramic...

An induction motor (or asynchronous motor) is a type of alternating current motor where power is supplied to the rotor by means of electromagnetic induction. An electric motor converts electrical power to mechanical power in its rotor (rotating part). There are several ways to supply power to the rotor. In a DC motor this power is supplied to the armature directly from a DC source, while in an induction motor this power is induced in the rotating device. An induction motor is sometimes called a rotating transformer because the stator (stationary part) is essentially the primary side of the transformer and the rotor (rotating part) is the secondary side. The primary side's currents evokes a magnetic field which interacts with the...

In Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), the electrical properties of the various tissue types form the basis for monitoring or imaging physiological and pathological processes. The technique requires the applying of small magnitude electrical current into the object under investigation, measurement of the developing potentials on the surface, and solving the mathematically ill-posed, non-linear inverse problem, relating the measurements to the electrical properties of interest. This book describes the induced-current EIT (ICEIT) approach, in which current is applied into the object by magnetic induction using excitation coils rather than by direct injection via surface electrodes as in conventional EIT. The physical and mathematical...

Industrial and multiphase plugs and sockets provide a connection to the electrical mains rated at higher voltages and currents than household plugs and sockets. They are generally used when more than two current carrying conductors, high currents and/or protection from environmental hazards are required. In many countries sockets are available that completely enclose a normal plug and have seals around the cable to exclude water. These reduce the need for special plugs and sockets but are often only suitable for fixed sockets due to their bulk, shape, and cable entry arrangements. Sockets on domestic extension leads are usually either not covered at all or covered with small covers that don't enclose an inserted plug. Some connectors...

Modern industrial processes are increasingly complex and managed with limited personnel resources. At the same time effective lifecycle management of production assets is increasingly important. In order to ease the management tasks new technologies have been developed and implemented in production plants. The technical advances are not only beneficial for the production assets owners and process application vendors but they also open up new business possibilities for third parties. Extensive outsourcing of maintenance and process optimization tasks is an example of such activities. This book contains an extensive review of modern process monitoring methods. Related recent developments in process automation and their implications are...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Industrial fans and blowers are machines whose primary function is to provide a large flow of air or gas to various processes of many industries. This is achieved by rotating a number of blades, connected to a hub and shaft, and driven by a motor or turbine. The flow rates of these fans range from approximately 200 to 2,000,000 cubic feet (5.7 to 57000 cubic meters) per minute. A blower is another name for a fan that operates where the resistance to the flow is primarily on the downstream side of the fan.

Inflatable armbands, are devices to help a wearer float in water and learn to swim. Inflatable armbands are typically cylindrical inflatable plastic bands that are inflated and worn on the upper arm. When the wearer is in water, the air inside the armbands provides buoyancy on account of its far lower density than the water. Although often thought of as a child's flotation device, armbands are also available in adult sizes. Although inflatable armbands are popular among small children, swimming experts caution against using them, because although water wings help the child to float, they do not prevent him/her from accidentally going under water and potentially drowning. Inflatable armbands are not a life-saving device. Mistaking them...

Determining the impact of diesel exhaust emissions on human health and the environment requires evaluating both regulated and unregulated properties of exhaust gas. In particular, emissions from new fuels have to be examined thoroughly to prevent any impact from increased emissions of harmful substances. In addition, identifying and utilizing new alternative fuels to replace fossil fuels is an important task now and in the future. This study investigates the influences of properties of RME 100%, RME-diesel blends of different ratios, ethanol-diesel blends with low amounts of ethanol and gas-to-liquid and its blends on thermodynamic properties and emissions, specifically their impacts on cylinder pressure levels.To this end, different...

Information wants to be free is a slogan expressing the view that limiting the exchange of information becomes increasingly difficult over time, due to technological progress. The first recorded occurrence of this expression was spoken by Stewart Brand at the first Hackers' Conference in 1984, in the following context: On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other. Данное издание не является...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An infra-red search and track system is a method for detecting and tracking objects which give off infrared radiation such as jet aircraft and helicopters. IRST is a generalized case of Forward looking infrared, i.e. from Forward-Looking to allround situational awareness. Such systems are passive, meaning they do not give out any radiation of their own, unlike radar. This gives them the advantage that they are difficult to detect. However, because the atmosphere attenuates infra-red light to some extent and because adverse weather can attenuate it also, the range compared to a radar is limited. Angular resolution at short ranges is better than radar due to the shorter wavelength. The first use...
