Regarding the influence of the particle size of crumb rubber from waste rubber on the physical and mechanical characteristics of reclaimed rubber

2017

Thus, at present, a large amount of rubber waste cannot be higher harnessed due to recovery technologies used. Also, the requirements for new products of rubber worldwide are greater than the production capacity and the availability of raw materials. To offset this balance is necessary to improve technologies for recycling waste rubber so to can get regenerated rubber with the best mechanical physical characteristics. The main technology for obtaining the regenerated rubber is based on the rubber waste shredding and making the powder, so that it can be carried out de-vulcanization in autoclave. All the time it was monitored as the de-vulcanization process to be as economical and less pollut…

Definition of the thermographic regions of interest in cycling by using a factor analysis

2016

Abstract Research in exercise physiology using infrared thermography has increased in the last years. However, the definition of the Regions of Interest (ROIs) varies strongly between studies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to use a factor analysis approach to define highly correlated groups of thermographic ROIs during a cycling test. Factor analyses were performed based on the moment of measurement and on the variation of skin temperatures as a result of the cycling exercise. 19 male participants cycled during 45 min at 50% of their individual peak power output with a cadence of 90 rpm. Infrared thermography was used to measure skin temperatures in sixteen ROIs of the trunk and lowe…

Comments on “Overflow characteristics of streamlined weirs based on model experimentation” by Bagheri S. and Kabiri-Samani A

2021

Abstract In this paper the stage-discharge equation of a streamlined weir is theoretically deduced applying the Π-Theorem of dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory. The coefficients of the new stage-discharge relationship are estimated using the experimental results by Bagheri and Kabiri-Samani.

Experimental study and numerical simulation of inclined rectangular weirs

2018

Inclined rectangular weirs, also named pivot weirs, are used both to adjust the upstream water level and to increase the flow capacity compared with that of normal rectangular weirs. However, the experimental studies available in the literature present contradictory conclusions for the inclined weir discharge capacity. In this paper, new experimental runs and numerical simulations were performed to investigate the effect of the rectangular weir inclination angle on the stage-discharge formula. The experiments were carried out using inclination angles ranging from 30° to 90°. Buckingham's theorem of dimensional analysis was used to obtain an equation for the flow magnification ratio (the dis…

Flow measurement using circular portable flume

2018

Abstract The circular portable flume is a simple device to measure discharge in circular drainage networks. Since the unit can be easily installed and removed, it is helpful in water distribution measurement and management. First in this paper the available studies are reviewed for highlighting the effect of both the contraction ratio and the flume slope on the stage-discharge relationship. Then the Buckingham's Theorem of the dimensional analysis and the self-similarity theory are used to deduce the stage-discharge curve of the circular flume. The new theoretical stage-discharge equation is calibrated by the literature available experimental data and those obtained in this experimental inv…

Partial Stabilization of Input-Output Contact Systems on a Legendre Submanifold

2017

This technical note addresses the structure preserving stabilization by output feedback of conservative input-output contact systems, a class of input-output Hamiltonian systems defined on contact manifolds. In the first instance, achievable contact forms in closed-loop and the associated Legendre submanifolds are analysed. In the second instance the stability properties of a hyperbolic equilibrium point of a strict contact vector field are analysed and it is shown that the stable and unstable manifolds are Legendre submanifolds. In the third instance the consequences for the design of stable structure preserving output feedback are derived: in closed-loop one may achieve stability only rel…

2019

El Laboratorio de Análisis Instrumental ubicado en el 5to piso del Edificio No. 17 de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional brinda servicios de análisis de gases de pozo, biogás, biocidas, solventes, vidrios laminados y templados, entre otros; no obstante, no cuenta con un sistema integrado de Gestión que incluya la ISO 9001:2015 ni ISO 14001:2015, los cuales deberían ser una base fundamental a fin de permitir una dirección basada en la optimización de procesos con una disminución de los impactos ambientales que puede generar cualquier empresa. Con estos antecedentes, el presente trabajo tiene por objetivo desarrollar un mecanismo para implementación de un SIG y que vaya acorde a la normativa ISO…
