Energy Loss Reduction in Hydraulic Installations of the Machine Tools Served by Constant Flow Pumps
Authors: Anca BUCUREȘTEANU, Adrian MOTOMANCEA, Alina OVANISOF
In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the adjustment systems related to the flow-pressure type operating parameters in the hydraulic installations of the machine-tools which enable energy consumption to be reduced. Some of the most common basic schemes in the hydraulic installations of the machine-tools are presented, analyzing technically but also economically the opportunity to use them. In order to support possible options, the authors also present … (read more)
Fluid Hammer Phenomenon Aspects on Circular Ducts
Author: Fănel Dorel ȘCHEAUA
Theoretical aspects related to fluid circulation through circular pipes under pressure with a certain velocity value are presented while the valve is sudden or slow closed at a certain moment. The model represents the non-permanent fluid circulation type through circular pipes frequently encountered in the case of hydraulic applications, in the work installations operation, with a need for stopping and restarting according to the existing operating work body needs. For this purpose, special devices capable to adjust the fluid flow rate are mounted in the circuit represented by valves which … (read more)

A Critical Review of Combustion Noise in Combustion Engines
Authors: Sunny NARAYAN, Aman GUPTA
Combustion noise generated mainly depends upon the rate of in cylinder pressure developed during ignition delay period. Overall design of combustion chamber as well as variations in various fuel injection parameters e.g., injection pressure, amount of fuel injected and its timings also play a crucial role in … (read more)
Upgrading a Digital Hydraulic Switching Valve to Become an Intelligent Hydraulic Equipment
Authors: Bogdan-Alexandru TUDOR, Mihai-Alexandru HRISTEA, Marian BLEJAN, Ștefan-Mihai ȘEFU
Digital hydraulics is a recently introduced concept in the field of hydraulics. Some of the solutions used in digital hydraulics have been used for a long time in classical hydraulics, but not at the level at which they can be applied now. The development of the field of digital hydraulics was possible due to the technological advances that the field of electronics has experienced. At present, digital hydraulics intends to offer simpler devices, with less demanding requirements than … (read more)
A Critical Review of Piston Motion Noise in Combustion Engines
Authors: Sunny NARAYAN, Aman GUPTA
