A quasi-analytical prediction method for gear load-independent power losses for shroud approaching
To limit the adverse effect of the fluid pressure field in high-speed gearing systems, especially for the main reducer of helicopters, shrouds usually adopted to enclose and approaches the high-speed gears will play a vital role in the windage and ...

ISO efficiency curves of a two-phase hybrid stepping motor [PDF]
Stepping motors are used in numerous applications because of their low manufacturing cost and simple speed control. It is well known that their energetic efficiency is low but actual values are typically not available.

A novel drifter designed for use with a mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler in shallow environments [PDF]
We present a novel design for a surface drifter, mounted with a pulse-coherent Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) for measuring near-surface (depths 0.18-1 m) flows.

Hydraulic Analysis of a Reversible Fluid Coupling [PDF]
This paper presents a hydraulic analysis of a fluid coupling which is designed to operate either in a forward or reverse mode when a set of turning vanes are respectively withdrawn or inserted into the flow between the driving and driven rotors.

Electric hybrid airship with unlimited flight time [PDF]
This paper examines the possibility of using photoelectric energy conversion during creation of electric unmanned aerial vehicles of a hybrid type. These vehicles should operate at altitudes up to 22,000 m and have an unregulated flight time.

The article deals with the composition of the landscape and building on the basis of the laws of aerodynamic resistance of objects to the wind flow and the resulting physical effect of sail. The application of landscape-visual assessment based on windage properties as a criterion for the development of the architectural and town-planning appearance of ...

ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
