ON THE CHOICE OF CONTACT PARAMETERS FOR THE FORCED RESPONSE CALCULATION OF A BLADED DISK WITH UNDER PLATFORM DAMPERS

On the choice of contact parameters for the forced response calculation of a bladed disk with under platform dampers

Underplatform dampers (UPDs) are still in use to reduce the vibration amplitude of turbine blades and to shift the position of resonant frequencies.The dynamics of blades with UPDs is nonlinear and the analysis is challenging from both the experimental and the numerical point of Water Testing view.A key point in obtaining a predictive numerical too

Zymobacter palmae Pyruvate Decarboxylase is Less Effective Than That of Zymomonas mobilis for Ethanol Production in Metabolically Engineered Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

To produce bioethanol from model cyanobacteria such as Synechocystis, a two gene cassette consisting of genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) are required to transform pyruvate first to acetaldehyde and then to ethanol.However the partition of pyruvate to ethanol comes at a cost, a reduction in biomass and pyru

Effect of Size and Temperature on Water Dynamics inside Carbon Nano-Tubes Studied by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Water transport inside carbon nano-tubes (CNTs) has attracted considerable attention due to its nano-fluidic properties, its importance in nonporous systems, and the wide range of applications in membrane desalination and biological medicine.Recent studies show an enhancement of water diffusion inside nano-channels Others depending on the size of t
