Abstract: A new type of cavitation triggered by boundary-layer turbulence-production has been identified from the turbines of the Three Gorges Power Station. Our previous studies point out that the addition ...

Abstract: A new procedure for synthesis of nonlinear proportional and nonlinear rate-feedback controllers for use with unstable nonlinear systems with application to a direct drive inverted pendulum is presented. The approach is to ...

Abstract: To help understand how methane ignition occurs in gas turbines, dual-fuel diesel engines, and other combustion devices, the present study addresses reaction mechanisms with the objective of ...

Abstract: This paper reports results of experimental and numerical investigations on ethane-air two-stage combustion in a counterflow burner where the fuel stream, which is partially premixed with air for ...

Abstract: Staged combustion can be employed to reduce the formation of CO and NOx , stabilize the flame, decrease the flame temperature, and create better working conditions in gas turbine combustors. ...

Abstract: Ground reinforcement using bolts is effective for underground excavations. The ground response of expansive loess tunnels with bolt reinforcement remains poorly understood. Therefore, this paper proposes an analytical ...

Abstract: This article deals with a phenomenon named as cavitation resonance. Cavitation-associated pressure fluctuations in hydraulic systems affect their design, operation, and safety. Under certain conditions, ...

Abstract: In order to investigate the impact of fault on the stability of the water-resisting layer of the coal floor, the critical water pressure formula of the water-resisting layer failure under the influence of fault is deduced ...

Abstract: A new method is proposed for water inflow prediction during heavy rain while tunneling through karst fissured zones. The proposed prediction method is a semianalytical and seminumerical method. First, an analytical ...

Abstract: In this study, using the background of Qiyueshan high-risk karst tunnels, flow characteristics and escape-route optimization after water inrush in a backward-excavated karst tunnel are researched. First, five case studies ...
