The main idea in this entry was to introduce a methodology and concludingly an optimized geometry for a commercial reactive muffler for noise reduction in auto applications. Due to a large number of variables (geometrical and mode) involving in the topology optimization of the common commercial mufflers,
In road transport, on ships and diesel locomotives, a significant share in the cost of production is the cost of fuel (over 30%). Measures to control its overspending are reduced by the installation of flow sensors/meters, which allows you to state the fact of overspending, to record theft,
It is a conveyor belt that transports a product from one belt to another at 90°
This design was built for the exit of a cooling tunnel for frozen chocolates, where there was practically no space.
Current shock absorbing technology uses either a foam or gel material. While both are soft and flexible, unless used in a thick manner, they will under time and pressure flatten out resulting in a hard surface.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a little experiment of how to develop a Star Wars cannon type ion turbo laser. The critical phase of each laser created is the pumping phase, that is the phase that allows the irradiation of photons in phase.
Viscoelastic materials such as pressure sensitive adhesives are used as constrained damping layers in a variety of applications. Historically, materials such as foams and acrylic and rubber adhesives have been popular choices. However, in the aerospace and defense markets, innovation is occurring at a rapid pace. For example,
The “Comet Towed Ion Propelled Spacecraft” is a concept design for a spacecraft utilizing a combination of modified solar power arrays (for onboard energy production) and ion propulsion thrusters (for thrust and speed),
Our breakthrough low-emissions diesel combustion system has been shown in detailed modeling to be capable of providing clean, pre-mixed combustion on diesel fuel at a stable and appropriate timing of ignition (without pre-ignition). Unlike in standard diesels,
Minoxy is an art affordable hermetically sealed preservation enclosure display system that preserves art and artifacts in an oxygen-free and pollution-free atmosphere that can be used by a novice collector, museum, or archive. The enclosure also protects the contents from ultra-violet exposure, air pollution, and moisture.
Many Atlantic hurricanes start to take shape when thunderstorms along the west coast of Africa drift out over warm ocean waters that are at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit (27 degrees Celsius), where they encounter converging winds from around the equator.
