Heavy Duty Machine Tools – Hydraulic Balancing of the Kinematic Chains
Authors: Dan PRODAN, Anca BUCUREȘTEANU,
Adrian MOTOMANCEA

The authors of this paper introduce some of the hydraulic balancing systems for the large rams, cross-rails and housings which travel vertically. These systems are used for the feed and/or positioning kinematic chains of the heavy-duty machine tools. The paper presents the hydraulic basic diagrams, the methodology of calculation and the manufactured units. These low-cost systems are equipped with usual hydraulic devices. The balancing hydraulic units can be used for … (read more)

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)


The Correlation between the Composition of the Gas Mixture Injected into Water and the Concentration of Dissolved Oxygen in Water
Authors: Nicoleta Dorina ALBU, Elena Beatrice TĂNASE, Nicolae Vlad SIMA, Nicolae BĂRAN, Corina MOGA

The paper presents three versions of gas mixtures: atmospheric air, atmospheric air and oxygen from a cylinder, air with low nitrogen content supplied by oxygen concentrators. These mixtures are successively introduced into a water tank and the theoretical and experimental determination of  (read more)


2D Numerical Model of a River Sector Flow in Case of Hypothetical Side Flooding Due to Embankment Failure
Authors: Albert Titus CONSTANTIN, Gheorghe I. LAZĂR, Şerban-Vlad NICOARĂ

The paper presents a 2D numerical modelling of water flow on a sector of about 7800m of Timiş River downstream of Lugoj Town, west of Romania, in case of accidental highwaters produceing side flooding due to a hypothetical embankement breach. The numerical simulation, assimilating the special high-flow values that occurred on site along (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)
