According to thermodynamic analysis, the pressure-displacement curve in the combustion chamber after ignition is obtained through iterative calculation, then the work on the cylinder done by high-pressure gas is calculated and the initial hopping velocity of the hopper is obtained. The wireless control system is developed to realize the tele-control of the hopper, including fuel injection and ignition. Experimental results agree well with analytical results. The hopper has a jumping ability of height 2.2 m and distance 3.5 m, and it is more than 14 times its dimension.展开更多

The effects of granular shape and hopper structure on flow pattern,discharge fraction,mean particle residence time and tracer concentration distribu-tion were tested based on the visual observation and particle tracer technique. The results show that particle shape affects significantly the flow pattern. The flow patterns of sphere,ellipsoid and binary mixture are all parabolic shape,and the flow pattern shows no significant difference with the change of wedge angle. The flowing zone be-comes more sharp-angled with the increasing outlet size. The flow pattern of hexahedron is featured with straight lines. The discharge rates are in increasing order from hexahedron,sphere,binary mixture to ellipsoid. The dis-charge rate also increases with the wedge angle and outlet size. The mean particle residence time becomes shorter when the outlet size increases. The difference of mean particle residence time between the maximum and minimum values decreases as the wedge angle increases. The residence time of hexahedron is the shortest. The tracer concen-tration distribution of hexahedron at any height is more uniform than that of binary mixture. The tracer concentra-tion of sphere in the middle is lower than that near the wall,and the contrary tendency is found for ellipsoid particles.展开更多

We show that for steady flow field close to laminar flow, the dynamical equations together with the continue equation and Mohr-circle description of the stress are closed, and hence solvable. In a case of streamline guided by the two-dimensional hopper, we obtain a consistent condition and use it to determine the stress and the velocity distribution. Our result indicates that 3/2 power scaling behavior is recovered with a coefficient C(μ,α) being a function of frictional coefficient and the hopper angle. It is found that the predicted coefficient C(μ,α) is compatible with previous studies.展开更多

PKES is based on Radio Frequency Identification(RFID) technology for authentication of the authorized drivers. RFID technology has replaced the conventional ways of identification and authorization in order to facilitate users while introducing new security challenges. In this article, we focused on verifying the presence of authorized key in the physical proximity of car by employing multiple antennas. Application of multiple antennas to the currently developed cryptographic algorithms opens a new approach for researchers to improve security of RFID based systems. We propose an advanced security system for PKES using multiple antennas wherein an authorized key passes through multiple vicinities to allow driver to access and start the car. Furthermore, we modified a light-weight cryptographic protocol named as HB(Hopper and Blum) protocol to integrate it with the proposed design based on multiple antennas. Simulation results show improvement in security functionality while keeping in view the efficiency constraints.展开更多

Three insecticides (methamidophos,Shachongshuang and triazophos) were used to control the rice leaffolder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis and rice striped stemborer Chilo suppressalis in rice fields during 18—27 days after transplantating. The impacts of timing and insecticides on the population development of brown planthopper Nilaparavata lugens was surveyed by direct counting on the plants or by tapping method.展开更多
