Evaluating the onset conditions of a thermoacoustic Stirling engine loaded with an audio loudspeaker
This paper aims to evaluate the onset conditions of a thermoacoustic Stirling engine loaded with a commercially available audio loudspeaker. The thermoacoustic engine converts supplied heat power into mechanical power in the form of sound, without any ...

Lack of controllability of the heat equation with memory [PDF]
We consider a model for the heat equation with memory, which has infinite propagation speed, like the standard heat equation. We prove that, in spite of this, for every T > 0 there exist square integrable initial data which cannot be steered to hit zero ...

Well-posedness of stochastic heat equation with distributional drift and skew stochastic heat equation [PDF]
We study stochastic reaction--diffusion equation ∂tut(x)=12∂2xxut(x)+b(ut(x))+W˙t(x),t>0,x∈D where b is a generalized function in the Besov space Bβq,∞(R), D⊂R and W˙ is a space-time white noise on R+×D.

Analytical Solution of the Problem of Symmetric Thermally Stressed State of Thick Plates Based on the 3D Elasticity Theory [PDF]
An important place among thermoelasticity problems is occupied by the plane elasticity problem obtained from the general three-dimensional problem after using plane stress state hypotheses for thin plates. In the two-dimensional formulation, this problem
