A Study On Ring Pack Lubrication In Internal Combustion Engine, I Mshoro Dec 1998

A Study On Ring Pack Lubrication In Internal Combustion Engine, I Mshoro

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

Most efthe lubricating oil from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is lost through piston rings. Hence, in order to optimally reduce ICE oil consumption, a better insight into tribology of the ring pack is required. This can only be achieved by an inwroved characterization of the lubricant behaviour within the opelating environment of the engine. In The present ieork, an optical tcchnique using laser- induced fluorescence was employed to measure oil film thickness within the ring pack. The experiment was conducted on a Phaser 1000 Series engine, whereby optical access to the ring pack was achieved by a fused silica-window positioned …


Extracting Consistent Weight Ratio Matrices From Inconsistent Judgement Matrices., Christian Alphonce Dec 1998

Extracting Consistent Weight Ratio Matrices From Inconsistent Judgement Matrices., Christian Alphonce

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

The Analy,'ic Hierarchy Process (AHP) developed by Saaty Inore (han a decade ago has been widely applied in diverse decision making problenls ranging from socio-economic planning to engineering designs. One of the basic steps of this popular decision support tool is concerned with estimating a ratio scale of a set of entities from their inconsistent pairwise comparison judgement matrix. A number of estimation procedures for this purpose have been proposed. These include Saaty's eigenvector meihod, various geometric means methods, and methods using logarithmic least squares, least squares. and means Transformanons, amongst O,'hers. One Thing conunon to all these Inethods is …


Ocean Energy : Ocean Thermal Energy Conservation (Otec) As Additional Electricity Source For Nigeria, Haruna Abdu Zailani Dec 1998

Ocean Energy : Ocean Thermal Energy Conservation (Otec) As Additional Electricity Source For Nigeria, Haruna Abdu Zailani

World Maritime University Dissertations

Oceans cover more than 70% of the total surface of the earth and are vast resources of energy. Ocean energy can be retrieved by using adequate ocean energy systems that work on either temperature gradients, salinity gradients, density gradients, the flow of ocean winds, currents, waves, or tidal energy, all of which are renewable. They are never exhausted. The further the ocean energy systems are tested the more prosperous ocean energy becomes. It is certainly the energy for the future, especially when man finishes all the reserves of fossil fuels. Nigeria being the leading African nation, endowed with resources and …


Pengembangan Model Penentuan Nilai Tukar Valuta Asing Dengan Menggunakan Pendekatan Uji Rentang Mekanika Studi Kasus : Nilai Tukar Rupiah Periode 1997-1998, Danny Daud Setiana Dec 1998

Pengembangan Model Penentuan Nilai Tukar Valuta Asing Dengan Menggunakan Pendekatan Uji Rentang Mekanika Studi Kasus : Nilai Tukar Rupiah Periode 1997-1998, Danny Daud Setiana

Bulletin of Monetary Economics and Banking

Krisis nilai tukar rupiah terhadap dolar Amerika yang menimpa Indonesia sejak bulan Juli 1997 merupakan sebuah akumulasi dari berbagai permasalahan yang terjadi baik permasalahan ekonomi, moneter, maupun permasalahan sosial dan politik. Oleh sebab itu, krisis nilai tukar tidak dapat diselesaikan dengan menggunakan pendekatan teori ekonomi semata. Teori ekonomi mengatakan nilai tukar akan membaik kembali bila supply bertambah dan demand terhadap valuta asing berkurang. Namun, cukup gencarnya bantuan dana luar negeri yang masuk baik dalam rangka IMF, World Bank, ADB, dan lainnya untuk menambah supply, serta berkurangnya likuiditas rupiah akibat kebijakan moneter yang ketat untuk mengurangi demand, tidak berhasil meredam laju …

Petroleum-Wax Separation, Michael D. Ackerson, Seyed-Hamid Arabshahi, Robert E. Babcock Dec 1998

Petroleum-Wax Separation, Michael D. Ackerson, Seyed-Hamid Arabshahi, Robert E. Babcock

Patents Granted

A process for dewaxing is described. It includes the steps of mixing a waxy feedstock near its pour point with an ambient or below ambient temperature solvent essentially free of a selected cosolvent, to form a solvent/feedstock mixture, and subsequently adding the cosolvent to the solvent/feedstock mixture to cause instantaneous precipitation of wax on addition of cosolvent. The amount of wax precipitation is controlled by the quantity and temperature of the cosolvent added. The cosolvent is essentially completely miscible with the solvent, but immiscible with the oil and wax. For example, alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol), ketones (ketene, acetone), amines, etc. …

Search For Higgs Bosons Produced In Association With A Vector Boson In Pp̅ Collisions At √S = 1.8 Tev, F. Abe, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration Dec 1998

Search For Higgs Bosons Produced In Association With A Vector Boson In Pp̅ Collisions At √S = 1.8 Tev, F. Abe, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We search for Higgs bosons produced in association with a massive vector boson in 91 ± 7 pb-1 of pp̅ collisions at √s =1.8 TeV recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We assume the Higgs scalar H0 decays to a bb̅ pair with branching ratio β, and we consider the hadronic decays of the vector boson V (W or Z). Observations are consistent with background expectations. We place 95% confidence level upper limits on σ (pp̅→H0V) β as a function of the scalar mass (MH0) …

Search For The Decays BS0,BD0 → E±Μ± And Pati-Salam Leptoquarks, F. Abe, Kenneth A. Bloom, Collider Detector At Fermilab Collaboration

Kenneth Bloom Publications

We have searched for the decays Bs0→ e±μ± and Bd0 → e±μ± using a 102 pb-1 data sample of pp̅ collisions at √s =1.8 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We set upper limits on the branching fractions of Ɓ(Bs0 → e±μ±) < 6.1(8.2) X 10-6 and Ɓ(Bd0 → e±μ±) < 3.5(4.5) X 10-6 at 90(95)% confidence level. Using these limits, we set lower bounds on the corresponding Pati-Salam leptoquark masses and find that MLQ(B …
