The quality of the surface plays a very important role on the wear layer of the piece. There must be a balance so that the roughness is not too high but not too low. To determine the optimum roughness, several process factors must be correlated so that the results are the desired ones. This work aims to determine the roughness on the concave spherical surfaces. In order to determine it, the process factors but also the geometrical shape of the tool vary. As an additional argument … (read more)
Transients in Public Water Supply in Győr-Moson-Sopron County
Author: Nikolett FECSER
Transient is a flow condition in which the velocity and pressure change rapidly with time. Transient operating states place such extreme loads on the pipes that they might cause burst water pipes. To highlight the importance of transient phenomena, I present the measurements carried out at Pannon-Víz Zrt and their results in my study. By this research, I aim to raise awareness about the dangers of … (read more)

Establishing the Mathematical Relation between the Rotor Radius and the Height of the Rotating Piston for a Rotating Machine with Profiled Rotors
Authors: Mariana Mirela STOICAN (PRISECARU), Nicolae BĂRAN, Almaslamani Ammar Fadhil SHNAWA
Mathematically, the paper establishes a link between the constructive elements, the rotor radius and the height of the rotating piston, which is part of the construction of a machine with profiled rotors that transports fluids.
For a certain constructive solution, the maximum height of the rotating piston is set; the influence of the height of the piston on … (read more)
Applicability of Video-Based Water Velocity Measurements on Ice-Drifting River Sections
Author: Gábor KERÉK
Video-based velocity analysis is a novel, experimental procedure onto the definition of the surface water velocity of water flows. The method may be effective to ground data collections, when any other measurement procedure inapplicable, i.e. flash-flood events, analysis of longer water flow sections, monitoring places which … (read more)
Green Energy from Wind Action
Authors: Fănel Dorel ȘCHEAUA, Ion DAVID
The atmospheric air front movements determine the winds occurrence. Due to the continuous action of the sun on the atmospheric air masses exposed successively as a result of the earth’s rotational motion, different values of the air temperature are obtained, which correlate with the atmospheric pressure values, are forming air masses zonal movements. Over time, special constructive units have been developed that can … (read more)
