Engine and auxiliary systems

Preface The development of our society is closely related to the improvements in transportation. The Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) occupies a very important position in this development. The purpose of this book “Engine and Its Auxiliary Systems” is to provide updated information on the design, construction and maintenance of the engine and its auxiliary systems. This book does not intend to represent the full body of internal combustion engine technology, but it does provide technical presentations and their reference documents, which can lead the engineer to discussions covering several topics of interest in internal combustion engines and its auxiliary systems. This book is a collection of a series of chapters written by the faculty members of the Mechanical Engineering Department of International Islamic University Malaysia. These chapters are the outcome of different research projects executed by the authors. The chapters were chosen to cover a variety of topics within the area of ICE and its auxiliary systems. These chapters reflect the latest advancement in international combustion engine technology. This should enhance the utility of the book for any person engaged in the pursuit of knowledge of internal combustion engines, particularly the practicing engineers and researchers in the field. The editor would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to all the authors who have contributed chapters for the book. We are also grateful to IIUM press for publishing the book

Nonisospectral integrable nonlinear equations with external potentials and their GBDT solutions

Auxiliary systems for matrix nonisospectral equations, including coupled NLS with external potential and KdV with variable coefficients, were introduced. Explicit solutions of nonisospectral equations were constructed using the GBDT version of the B\"acklund-Darboux transformation

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) sounding-rocket program

An overall introduction to the NASA sounding rocket program as managed by the Goddard Space Flight Center is presented. The various sounding rockets, auxiliary systems (telemetry, guidance, etc.), launch sites, and services which NASA can provide are briefly described

Probabilistic cloning with supplementary information contained in the quantum states of two auxiliary systems

In probabilistic cloning with two auxiliary systems, we consider and compare three different protocols for the success probabilities of cloning. We show that, in certain circumstances, it may increase the success probability to add an auxiliary system to the probabilistic cloning machine having one auxiliary system, but we always can find another cloning machine with one auxiliary system having the same success probability as that with two auxiliary systems.Comment: 18 page

NASA Lewis 8 by 6 foot supersonic wind tunnel

Performance data are presented for the tunnel, which has a Mach number range from 0.36 to 2.0. The tunnel circuit, test section, model support systems, auxiliary systems, instrumentation, control room equipment, and automatic recording and computing equipment are also described. Information is presented on criteria for designing models and on shop facilities available to prospective users

Nonprobabilistic teleportation of field state via cavity QED

In this article we discuss a teleportation scheme of coherent states of cavity field. The experimental realization proposed makes use of cavity quatum electrodynamics involving the interaction of Rydberg atoms with micromaser and Ramsey cavities. In our scheme the Ramsey cavities and the atoms play the role of auxiliary systems used to teleport the state from a micromaser cavity to another. We show that, even if the correct atomic detection fails in the first trials, one can succeed in teleportating the cavity field state if the proper measurement occurs in a later atom

Navy Auxiliary Systems Defense Industrial Base Analysis

Symposium Student PosterThe Defense Industrial Base (DIB) is an ever changing landscape that requires acquisition professionals to maintain vigilance over its climate. Ever since the mid-1990s the DIB has shrunk substantially due to a variety of reasons. In this study we focus on Navy Auxiliary Systems, particularly Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (AC&R) and Compressed Air system. Data gained through analysis of contracting history and from subject matter experts (SMEs) and In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEAs) is used to perform a Sector by Sector, Tier by Tier (S2T2) Fragility and Criticality (FaC) Assessment of AC&R and Compressed Air systems. The assessment revealed that both AC&R and Compressed Air systems are on relatively secure footing. With both systems it is important to avoid vendor lock with an aim to increase competition to optimize cost, schedule, and performance on future capabilities.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited

Teleportation of Atomic States via Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics

In this article we discuss a scheme of teleportation of atomic states. The experimental realization proposed makes use of cavity Quatum Electrodynamics involving the interaction of Rydberg atoms with a micromaser cavity prepared in a coherent state. We start presenting a scheme to prepare atomic Bell states via the interaction of atoms with a cavity. In our scheme the cavity and some atoms play the role of auxiliary systems used to achieve the teleportation.Comment: 12 pages and 2 figures. Accepted for publication in Opt.
