An experiment was designed to elevate the temperatures of six different materials (Au, Ag, Cu, Fe, Al, Ni) up to 600 ℃and precisely measured their weights. It is found all the materials weigh about 0.33 ‰ - 0. 82 ‰ less. For example the weight of silver sample weighted by a precision electronic scale in a manner of special design decreases about 0.8 ‰, when its temperature is elevated to 600 ℃. Thus different metals' gravitational forces or weights are adjusted with temperature variation.展开更多

The indoor environmental factors in workspaces should follow functional as well as behavioral requirements as the spaces are designed as per the user's requirements, needs and aspirations. These play a major role in achieving behavioral impact on the user, as sense of well-being in the environment and physical comfort in the space enhances the productivity and efficiency of the user of the space. The slow and gradual importance of this issue in workspace design with Indian context, post occupancy evaluation can be adjudged as a permanent tool for improving indoor environment in buildings. Occupants should be used as a benchmark of evaluation, showing correlation of physical measurements and subjective parameters. It also suggests recommendations to improve quality of indoor environment in office buildings with analytical study, an important step in post occupancy evaluation. The objective of the paper is to inquire how people experience environmental psychology of the workspace as the determinants are efficiency, productivity and comfort. The success of any design depends upon the degree to which it creates an interface between the user and the environment.展开更多

Horizontal roof gap, as a key parameter of backfilling characteristics, may impact the backfilling effect from the aspects of control of roof subsidence in advance, support stress, backfilling process and the support design. Firstly, the reason why horizontal roof gap exists was analyzed and its definition, causes and connotation were introduced, then adopting the Pro/E 3D simulation software, three typical 3D entity models of backfill hydraulic supports were built, based on the influence of horizontal roof gap on backfilling effect, and influence rules of four factors, i.e. support height, suspension height, suspension angle and tamping angle, were emphatically analyzed on horizontal roof gap. The results indicate that, the four factors all have significant impacts on horizontal roof gap, but show differences in influence trend and degree, showing negative linear correlation, positive linear correlation, positive semi-parabolic correlation and negative semi-parabolic correlation, respectively. Four legs type is the most adaptive to the four factors, while six legs(II) type has the poorest adaptability, and the horizontal roof gap is small under large support height, small suspension height, small suspension angle and large tamping angle situation. By means of optimizing structure components and their positional relation and suspension height of backfill scrape conveyor in the process of support design and through controlling working face deployment, roof subsidence in advance, mining height and backfilling during engineering application, the horizontal roof gap is optimized. The research results can be served as theoretical basis for support design and guidance for backfill support to have better performance in backfilling.展开更多

Although there are different energy analysis methods, which vary in complexity, the degree-day methods are the simplest methods and well-established tools. Energy consumption increases as the number of heating and cooling degree days increases and falls as the number of heating and cooling degree days falls. The value of degree days is a measure which can be used to indicate the demand for energy to heat or cool buildings and spaces. The monthly or annual cooling and heating requirements of specific buildings in different locations can be estimated by means of the degree-day concept. The base temperature is the outdoor temperature below or above which heating or cooling is needed. In this study, the degree days for the period of 2008-2012 were calculated for Turkey (10 cities) and also to develop new software for easy analysis about cooling degree days. This paper can be helpful for designing facade and also contribute to degree-day analyses.展开更多

Among other things, this can be attributed to the adoption of the European Commission Machinery Directive as a national law, which demands protection against noise emission in the design phase of new machines. In order to accomplish this, it is necessary to examine and locate the causes of emissions on existing machines. In this paper, the sound source is located through sound intensity measurements, using planing machines as an example, which are particularly noise-intensive woodworking machines. In addition, different influencing parameters on noise emission are analyzed, such as manual and automatic feed, rotational speed and the influence of the type of wood of the workpiece.展开更多

A lot of technical innovations have been implemented to improve the performance and significantly reduce the stray light levels. The latest innovation during development of sophisticated spectrophotometers is based on a new holographic exposure method and optimized etching process which has made it possible to produce both high-efficient and exceptionally low stray light gratings. These LO-RAY-LIGH~ gratings have guaranteed values of stray light at the intermediate position between zero-order and first-order lights. The values are measured by Shimadzu's laser stray-light-measuring system. The latest development in the series of UV-VIS spectrophotometers is the UV-2700 which is a true double beam double monochromator system in a compact design for high-precision spectral analysis of a wide range of samples including organic and inorganic compounds, biological samples, optical materials and photovoltaics. The high performance optical system is designed with "LO-RAY-LIGH" diffraction gratings, featuring highest efficiency and exceptionally low stray light. The spectrophotometer operates in the wavelength range from 185 nm to 900 nm and allows highly sophisticated applications such as direct measurement of high density samples up to 8 absorbance units without dilution.展开更多

The model, written in Matlab, allows to analyze the effects of different design and operating variables on plant performance and cost. Daily and seasonal variations of solar irradiation at different latitudes are considered, and an original approximate model for thermal stratification is included. Since a limited computational time is required, the simulation model can be effectively integrated with a non-linear constrained optimization procedure so as to determine the optimal choice of design variables for different locations and operating conditions. The comparison between a two-variable and four-variable optimization for five different locations at various latitudes has been presented, showing a significant decrease in pay-back time with latitude. Finally a sensitivity analysis on the most important design and operating variables has been performed and presented. It emerges that the optimal insulator thickness always decreases with latitude. The optimal tilt angle is slightly lower than latitude only when the plant is designed to cover the whole thermal load, while higher tilt values are selected in case of partial load covering.展开更多

The design variable for optimization was the ply thickness of the wing skin panels, and the structural weight was the objective function to be minimised. The impacts of three strength/strain constraints and the ply proportion of the wing skin panels on the optimization results are discussed. The results indicate that the optimal composite wings that satisfy different constraints have remarkable weight advantages over metal wing. High levels of stiffness can be achieved while satisfying the constraints regarding allowable design strains and failure criteria. The optimization results with variable-proportions indicate that wing skins with higher proportions of 0° plies from the root to the middle segment and ±45° plies outboard have a more efficient and reasonable stiffness distribution.展开更多
