Well-known are Atkinson and Miller cycles. These are cycles with varying compression and expansion ratios. Application of these cycles makes it possible to use working gas energy to a fuller extent.
Studies at UC-Davis in 2007 have demonstrated that parasitic infestation(s) are a contributing factor in the onset of ‘Colony Collapse Disorder’ in honeybee populations, natiowide. According to the USDA,
The aim of this project is to attempt to resolve problem of stair climbing for above-knee amputees by developing a new type of intelligent prosthesis. By resolving the stair climbing problem, many other problems that the amputees are facing in everyday life (e.g.
The back end of a Semi Trailer, in motion, creates a low pressure condition increasing the drag of the complete unit resulting in a fuel economy reduction. The length of the overall vehicle prohibits the addition of air deflectors to partially reduce this condition.
Hydrodynamically speaking, screw propellers of conventional marine propulsions represent vortex systems rotating in transverse to the flow plane that generates periodic impulses of pressure in water and this way create underwater acoustic field being used for detection and identification of ships.
One of the main reserves of improvement in fuel efficiency of ground vehicles is reduction of aerodynamic drag constituting (side by side with the resistance of rolling) the principal component consuming normally a bulk of vehicle’s power to overcome it.
Conventional ground vehicles (including cars, SUVs, trucks, etc.
MUNA Enterprises is a robot design team comprised of senior mechanical engineering students from Memorial University of Newfoundland. In the course ENGI 8926: Mechanical Design Project II, students are required to identify an engineering challenge which can be researched in depth.
