Internal combustion engines

IC engines: chemical energy to work via internal energy – unfortunately not all chemical energy converted to useful work. Material balances: pollutants production per unit fuel. Heat of reaction: pollutant production per unit energy released. 1stLaw (energy balance): energy split between work, heat etc. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics: nothing can be 100% efficient. Thermodynamic efficiency: [...]

Road Grade and Vehicle Parameter Estimation for Longitudinal Control Using GPS

Current GPS sensing technology enables estimation of road grade and, consequently simple treatment of parameter estimation from a static mass balance. An on-line recursive parameter estimation scheme based on this idea has been developed and demonstrated experimentally with a passenger vehicle. Both methods for estimating road grade from GPS produced a rapidly converging mass estimate [...]

Roller Bearing Mounting, Maintenance, Repair

TAROL units (Tapered Roller Bearings) are double row tapered roller bearings that are supplied with factory-set clearance, greased and sealed. The TAROL units are thus supplied ready-to-fit and are pressed onto the shaft journal by means of a hydraulic unit. http://www.almohandes.org/upload/489tpi156_de_en.rar

Energy auditing and recovery for dry type cementrotary kiln systems

This paper deals with the energy audit analysis of a dry type rotary kiln system working in a cement plant in Turkey. The kiln has a capacity of 600 ton-clinker per day. It was found that about 40% of the total input energy was being lost through hot flue gas (19.15%),cooler stack (5.61%) and kiln [...]

Project Cost Control: The Way it Works

In a recent consulting assignment we realized that there was some lack of understanding of the whole system of project cost control, how it is setup and applied. So we decided to write up a description of how it works. Project cost control is not that difficult to follow in theor http://www.almohandes.org/upload/552cost_control.rar
