Vertical axis wind turbine drive train transient dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
Start up of a vertical axis wind turbine causes transient torque oscillations in the drive train with peak torques which may be over two and one half times the rated torque of the turbine.

Experimental Investigation of Microbubble Evolution in the Liquivac Multiphase Flow Pump

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper aims to experimentally investigate the mechanisms of microbubble characteristics evolution within an axial pump. The findings will aid in assessing the pump performance by identifying the range of bubble sizes and comparing them with the threshold size (< 300 μm). This study also provides evidence supporting the use of such pumps as

Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Simulation of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines With Variable Pitch Foils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A dynamic computer model of a turbine was developed in MATLAB in order to study the behavior of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) with variable pitch (articulating) foils. The simulation results corroborated the findings of several empirical studies on

Automated Process Optimization in a Novel Triple Shaft Mixer with Adaptive Mixing Modes

open access: yesChemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.
A novel multi‐purpose mixer with adjustable blade angle and a coaxial stirrer is developed, providing three degrees of freedom. An optimization strategy is integrated to autonomously identify optimal operating conditions through automated tests. The current draw of the main stirrer serves as the optimization criterion, while stirrer speeds, directions,

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...
