Constructive and Technological Considerations on the Realization of a Prototype of a Rotary Valve Made with 3D Printed Components with UV Resin
Author: Mircea Dorin VASILESCU
This study is intended to be the first part of a series of technological studies to determine the possibility of realizing pneumatic and/or hydraulic components using 3D additive manufacturing processes with photopolymerizable resins. Since the problem of the environment protection is an important component, the author initiated a study on the structural and technical aspects of the efficient realization of a rotary valve prototype. Finally, considering the correlation and determination of dimensional repeatability of 3D printed parts using a polymerization process with a mask (MSLA) with light-emitting diodes, it is possible to transfer this study to … (read more)

Damping of the Rainwater Runoff by Small Underground Reservoirs in Subdivision Lots
Authors: Tayline BONANE, Henrique PIZZO, Marcela MEIRELES, Lucas ROCHA
The present work aims to evaluate the effect of small flow dampening reservoirs installed in the front of the lots in subdivision, regarding the reduction of the discharge peak and eventual decrease of the diameters of the drainage galleries, in relation to a conventional drainage system. After a review of the literature on the subject, the calculation of the drainage network of a certain street is carried out in the conventional way, with the presentation of the respective dimensioning worksheet. In sequence, the Routing Simulator Application is used in order to verify the reductions in the flows caused by … (read more)

Authors: Nicoleta-Elena KABA, Adrian RETEZAN, Adriana TOKAR
In view of the Directive 2006/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on energy end-use efficiency and energy services, it is requested, as a consequence, to ensure the Energy Audit of the building and propose energy improvement measures in order to access structural funds, inclusively for functional and structural rehabilitation. This article proposes to analyse the energy survey aimed at … (read more)
Modelling and Simulation of the Transient Performance of a Direct Operated Pressure Relief Valve
Authors: Sasko DIMITROV, Dejan KRSTEV
The dynamic characteristics determine variations of the inlet pressure in front of the valve in function of the flow through the valve in the time. In any hydraulic system, the valve is connected at least by a pipe at the outlet, and at its inlet there is some volume of compressible oil which influences the quality of the transient process. When switching the directional control valve in the hydraulic system with direct-operated pressure relief valves, a transient process occurs in which it is possible … (read more)
Main Constructive Solutions for Actual Wind Turbines Used for Green Power Generation
Author: Fănel Dorel ȘCHEAUA
It can be said that at the present time there is more than ever a need for energy at the global level to support the activities undertaken by the industrial branches as well as by the human communities. The possibilities of obtaining energy are limited and if we refer to the burning of fossil fuels, they have a direct effect on the environment, contributing decisively to the increase in global temperature values. Therefore, special attention must be paid to alternative methods that can be used to obtain energy; here we are talking about the action of the wind, the sun, or the force of sea waves. This paper presents the possibilities of obtaining energy from the wind action, on different models of wind turbines, with specific efficiency values for … (read more)

Authors: Maritza Liliana ARGANIS JUÁREZ, Margarita PRECIADO JIMÉNEZ,
Sandra Lizbeth ROSALES SILVESTRE
Models were run to reproduce COVID-19 infections versus deaths in Mexico City. The first model was made using rain runoff concept, emulating rain as number of infections reproducing runoff as number of deaths given as of March 2020. The second consisted of using an artificial neural network (ANN) proposed as an initial condition function to be implemented in the model with delay. These models were applied to … (read more)
