Testing of Operating Characteristics with Powershift Multi-disc Clutches
Author: Attila SZEGEDI
The diverse requirements pose complex demands on today’s agricultural tractors. Effective work requires a modern diesel engine to have an efficient and versatile drivetrain, since the engine’s performance must be transmitted to the ground and the wheel with minimal loss. At the same time, the activated gear ratio ensures optimum engine load in the otherwise wide range of speeds to reach low fuel consumption. For this reason, powershift transmissions are most often used under modern loads. The critical point of their operation is … (read more)
Reducing Pollutant Emissions by Integrating Flue Gas Treatment Systems into a Corn Coal Fired Coating Plant
Authors: Adrian ȚENCHEA, Dănuț TOKAR, Adriana TOKAR
The European Union’s 2020 greenhouse gas reduction targets bring solid biomass to the attention of specialists as one of the renewable energies on which Europe can rely. The technical potential for biomass use is about 8-10% of the primary energies in Europe. The amount of heat from the energy recovery of biomass, in Romania, has different weights in the balance of primary resources, depending on the type of waste used or the destination. The rational use of biomass involves knowledge of … (read more)
Using Complex Liquid-Measuring Devices in Fire Hoses
Authors: Nikolett FECSER, Filomena HAROMI, Rajmund KUTI
Up to now, it is still very common to use water for extinguishing fire. To be able to ensure the adequate water supply, it is essential to examine the parameters of the water supply system, especially in the case of firefighting devices, which are sometimes used under extreme conditions. To ensure the proper amount of firewater and to carry out the necessary modifications, it is vital to examine the firewater supply system from the pump including the pipes to the nozzle. We aim at making such a complex measuring instrument that provides … (read more)

Theoretical Characteristics of Fluid Flow within a Pneumatic System
Author: Fănel Dorel ȘCHEAUA
There are numerous applications in industry branches that use pneumatic drive to achieve various imposed movements for the working body. Here the working fluid is represented by a gaseous medium that is influenced by the temperature, humidity and pressure values. With regard to the flow pattern, a clear distinction must be made between the fluid volume at inlet and the discharge volume due to air compressibility properties. Specific parameters regarding the state of the working fluid are given by volume, pressure and temperature and any momentary modification of these specific values depends on … (read more)
