High pressure rotary piston coal feeder [PDF]
This feeder concept uniquely combines the functions of solids feeding, metering, and pressurization into one compact system. Success with the rotary-piston concept would provide a lower-cost alternative to lock-hopper systems. The design of the feeder is

A review of resonance response in large horizontal-axis wind turbines [PDF]
, 1981 Field operation of the Mod-0 and Mod-1 wind turbines is described. Operational experience shows that 1 per rev excitation exists in the drive train, high aerodynamic damping prevents resonance response of the blade flatwise modes, and teetering the hub ...

Protect Digital Elevation Model (DTM) from Aerial Photographs by Using (ERDAS IMAGINE)
Engineering and Technology Journal, 2015 The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is considered a common tool in producing topographic maps, orthophotos and civil engineering projects besides other different engineering applications. As a result, many software packages were developed and used to produce (DTM ) from different sources like filed surveys, scanned topographic maps and stereo photos ...
