Abstract: Oil-film dampers are used in turbomachinery to suppress undesirable shaft dynamic responses. They are located at the nonrotating outer race of selected main bearings. Experiments on the synchronous ...

Abstract: Oil-film dampers are an integral feature of most high-speed, lightweight turbo engines, in which they are used to suppress undesirable shaft dynamic responses. They are generally located at the ...

Abstract: The motion of a spatial RRGRR mechanism can be determined by considering the intersection of two tori. In this paper the intersections of two offset skew circular tori are found, thus defining ...

Abstract: Designing a large water‐distribution network as a single entity is difficult. The present practice of designing such a system is by decomposing or splitting it into a number of subsystems. Each subsystem is separately ...

Abstract: Water‐distribution systems require reorganization to derive increased water demand resulting from an increase in population through either increased population density or expansion into new internal areas. If the increased ...

Abstract: A water supply gravity main does not require power input; thus, it is preferred in comparison to a water supply pumping main. Moreover, a gravity main has greater reliability because it does not have moving parts, ...

Abstract: The physical characteristics, proximate analysis, elemental analysis and chemical analysis of paddy husk, an important renewable source of energy, are reported in this paper. The kinetic parameters ...
