    Determination of the natural frequencies and forms of vibrations of turbine blades with the present level of knowledge is one of the chief problems that have to be solved at the design stage of turbines in order to ensure vibration reliability. Greater possibilities of devising more correct mathematical models of blades and universal methods of investigating their vibrations are opened up in connection with the application of the finite element method.Для расчСта ΠΊΠΎΠ»Π΅Π±Π°Π½ΠΈΠΉ Π»ΠΎΠΏΠ°Ρ‚ΠΎΠΊ Ρ‚ΡƒΡ€Π±ΠΎΠΌΠ°ΡˆΠΈΠ½ слоТной Π³Π΅ΠΎΠΌΠ΅Ρ‚Ρ€ΠΈΠΈ ΠΈΡΠΏΠΎΠ»ΡŒΠ·ΡƒΡŽΡ‚ супСрпарамСтричСскиС ΠΎΠ±ΠΎΠ»ΠΎΡ‡Π΅Ρ‡Π½Ρ‹Π΅ ΠΊΠΎΠ½Π΅Ρ‡Π½Ρ‹Π΅ элСмСнты

    In this work the mathematical model of diesel fraction and atmospheric gasoil catalytic dewaxing process has been developed. Also the pattern of applying the created model to solving such problems as monitoring and quality control of diesel fraction production in the catalytic dewaxing process. It has been represented that to meet such challenges, the model should take into consideration thermodynamic and kinetic laws of hydrocarbon conversion on the catalyst surface, and instability factors that are specified by catalyst deactivation. The developed model allows controlling the quality of obtained diesel fraction depending on feed and temperature regime in the reactor. The value of model calculation absolute error does not exceed 2%, which corroborates the adequacy of the model to actual process. The computations using the model have shown that to provide the desired product yield (not less than 40% wt. of overall yield of the unit products) of programmed quality (cold filtering plugging point not higher than minus 34Β°C for winter diesel fuels and not lower than minus 40Β°C for arctic ones) at long-time catalyst operation (during 4 years), it is necessary to sustain the reactor temperature at the average level of 19Β°C higher than when working with fresh catalyst. This must be done to compensate catalyst activity loss due to its deactivation

    Ultrabroad-bandwidth multifrequency Raman generation

    Get PDF
    We report on the modeling of transient stimulated rotational Raman scattering in H2 gas. We predict a multifrequency output, spanning a bandwidth greater than the pump frequency, that may be generated without any significant delay with respect to the pump pulses. The roles of dispersion and transiency are quantified

    Avoiding errors in the diagnosis of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy in patients with age-related macular degeneration (Part 1)

    Background: Poor availability of indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) raises the question of how to improve the diagnosis of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) using alternative imaging modalities, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCR angiography (OCTA). Purpose: To optimize the diagnosis of PCV in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using non-invasive methods, OCT and OCTA. Material and Methods: One hundred and sixty-nine patients (228 eyes) with neovascular AMD underwent OCT and OCTA study as per the proposed algorithm to differentiate between PCV and other types of subretinal neovascularization. Of these, 14 patients (8.28%; 14 eyes) were found to have PCV. Results: Major and additional signs of PCV, secondary neovascularization and activity of the process on OCT were determined. In addition, we determined the signs of PCV on OCTA manu-al and automatic segmentation which will be helpful in accurate differential diagnosis of the disease. On the basis of these data, we developed a step-by-step algorithm of the OCT and OC-TA diagnosis of PCV in patients suspected of the disease, which allows the accurate diagnosis when ICGA is unavailable. Conclusion: Systematic step-by-step interpretation of OCT and OCTA scans allow the reliable differential diagnosis of PCV in patients with exudative AMD

    The generalized MIC-Kepler system

    Full text link
    This paper deals with dynamical system that generalizes the MIC-Kepler system. It is shown that the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for this generalized MIC-Kepler system can be separated in spherical and parabolic coordinates. The spectral problem in spherical and parabolic coordinates is solved.Comment: 8 page
