WATER BATH TREATMENT OF EXHAUST GASES IN DIESEL ENGINE
Nowadays the main reasons for global warming are increasing: rapid industrialization, automobiles and deforestation.
Presenting the EASIEST FASTEST AND most ACCURATE STENCIL/Paper CUTART making tool.
You need to do SCREEN PRINTING or SPRAY PAINTING or want to customize your clothes with custom graphics. You need stencils for all of them. How to cut stencils, so you have been using a blade or a paper knife for the same.
Ramjet is the aircraft engine that can operate at a high speed at mach 5. The disadvantage of the ramjet is that it is difficult to have a moving part in the ramjet engine, so that it is not suitable to use during takeoff. Today if we want to use the ramjet,
This method of navigation, with moving map, use as references the ground radio stations (commercial and/or aviation NDB’s) and localization is based on Automatic Direction Finder (usual we can find two of ADF systems on every aircraft).
The main advantage of this system is revealed by not using the satellite constellation (GPS, GLONASS or GALILEO) or VOR stations.
For comfort conditions we generally use an air conditioner (AC). The main drawback of an AC is that it consumes large amount of power about 1KW. Also the air conditioner is not cost effective. The alternative for the air conditioner is Evaporative cooler.
Drones are bringing Intelligence and Situation Awareness (ISA) on the battlefield. Power generation and weight are two variables that restrict their persistence and push them off-range from the war fighters.
Today, small drones capable of providing platoon commanders with a high level of SA are the point of focus of numerous cumbersome designs.
Working with a considerably varied group of users, with different needs, an interface suitable to them was achieved. Our interface integrates accessible interface ideas in a single portable interface that can contribute to people with disabilities’ autonomy at home. Being a potential solution to improve the autonomy of people with impairments,
Contour Crafting (CC) is a computerized construction method that 3D Prints large-scale structures directly from architectural CAD models. Walls are built up by forming their outer surfaces via extrusion of a paste-like material, such as concrete, and the use of a robotic trowel to provide a smooth contoured surface. CC is a very flexible technique,
