Research on the Assembly Pattern of MMC Bolted Flange Joint
AbstractIn a Metal-to-Metal Contact (MMC) bolted flange joint the stress of sealing surfaces is constant. It canwithstand higherbolt load. So, under the operating conditions of high temperature, high pressure or their fluctuations, the sealing effect of MMC bolted flange joints is better than of floating (FLT) bolted flange joints. According to the structure characteristics of MMC bolted flange joints, a new tightening method (SH-Method) was recommended in this work.The bolt forces during the tightening process of a MMC bolted flange joint with SH-Method were calculated and analyzed with the finite element analysis Software ANSYS. The calculating model and results were experimentally verified. Both calculating and experimentally results showed, the new tightening method ‘SH-Method’has the advantages of fewer steps, simpler operation, more uniform bolt force, and better sealing effect, compared to the star pattern and the alternative pattern #3 of ASME PCC-1, in which only the pattern methods for FLT flange joints are recommended
Black Hole Thermodynamics in Horava Lifshitz Gravity and the Related Geometry
Recently, Hoava proposed a non-relativistic renormalizable theory
of gravity which is essentially a field theoretic model for a UV complete
theory of gravity and reduces to Einstein gravity with a non-vanishing
cosmological constant in IR. Also the theory admits a Lifshitz scale-invariance
in time and space with broken Lorentz symmetry at short scale. On the other
hand, at large distances higher derivative terms do not contribute and the
theory coincides with general relativity. Subsequently, Cai and his
collaborators and then Catiuo et al have obtained black hole solutions in this
gravity theory and studied the thermodynamic properties of the black hole
solution. In the present paper, we have investigated the black hole
thermodynamic for two choices of the entropy function - a classical and a
topological in nature. Finally, it is examined whether a phase transition is
possible or not.Comment: 8 figure
Remarks on self-interaction correction to black hole radiation
In the work [P. Kraus and F. Wilczek, \textit{Self-interaction correction to
black hole radiation, Nucl. Phys.} B433 (1995) 403], it has been pointed out
that the self-gravitation interaction would modify the black hole radiation so
that it is no longer thermal, where it is, however, corrected in an approximate
way and therefore is not established its relationship with the underlying
unitary theory in quantum theory. In this paper, we revisit the
self-gravitation interaction to Hawking radiation of the general spherically
symmetric black hole, and find that the precisely derived spectrum is not only
deviated from the purely thermal spectrum, but most importantly, is related to
the change of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and consistent with an underlying
unitary theory.Comment: 14 page
Reconstruction of a Nonminimal Coupling Theory with Scale-invariant Power Spectrum
A nonminimal coupling single scalar field theory, when transformed from
Jordan frame to Einstein frame, can act like a minimal coupling one. Making use
of this property, we investigate how a nonminimal coupling theory with
scale-invariant power spectrum could be reconstructed from its minimal coupling
counterpart, which can be applied in the early universe. Thanks to the coupling
to gravity, the equation of state of our universe for a scale-invariant power
spectrum can be relaxed, and the relation between the parameters in the action
can be obtained. This approach also provides a means to address the Big-Bang
puzzles and anisotropy problem in the nonminimal coupling model within Jordan
frame. Due to the equivalence between the two frames, one may be able to find
models that are free of the horizon, flatness, singularity as well as
anisotropy problems.Comment: 31 pages, 4 figure
Thermodynamics of Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz black holes
We study black holes in the Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz gravity with a parameter
. For , the black holes behave the Lifshitz black
holes with dynamical exponent , the black
holes behave the Reissner-Nordstr\"om type black hole in asymptotically flat
spacetimes. Hence, these all are quite different from the Schwarzschild-AdS
black hole of Einstein gravity. The temperature, mass, entropy, and heat
capacity are derived for investigating thermodynamic properties of these black
holes.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, v2:substantial improved version to make

Radiative falloff of a scalar field in a weakly curved spacetime without symmetries
We consider a massless scalar field propagating in a weakly curved spacetime
whose metric is a solution to the linearized Einstein field equations. The
spacetime is assumed to be stationary and asymptotically flat, but no other
symmetries are imposed -- the spacetime can rotate and deviate strongly from
spherical symmetry. We prove that the late-time behavior of the scalar field is
identical to what it would be in a spherically-symmetric spacetime: it decays
in time according to an inverse power-law, with a power determined by the
angular profile of the initial wave packet (Price falloff theorem). The field's
late-time dynamics is insensitive to the nonspherical aspects of the metric,
and it is governed entirely by the spacetime's total gravitational mass; other
multipole moments, and in particular the spacetime's total angular momentum, do
not enter in the description of the field's late-time behavior. This extended
formulation of Price's falloff theorem appears to be at odds with previous
studies of radiative decay in the spacetime of a Kerr black hole. We show,
however, that the contradiction is only apparent, and that it is largely an
artifact of the Boyer-Lindquist coordinates adopted in these studies.Comment: 17 pages, RevTeX
Rotating Black Branes in the presence of nonlinear electromagnetic field
In this paper, we consider a class of gravity whose action represents itself
as a sum of the usual Einstein-Hilbert action with cosmological constant and an
gauge field for which the action is given by a power of the Maxwell
invariant. We present a class of the rotating black branes with Ricci flat
horizon and show that the presented solutions may be interpreted as black brane
solutions with two event horizons, extreme black hole and naked singularity
provided the parameters of the solutions are chosen suitably. We investigate
the properties of the solutions and find that for the special values of the
nonlinear parameter, the solutions are not asymptotically anti-deSitter. At
last, we obtain the conserved quantities of the rotating black branes and find
that the nonlinear source effects on the electric field, the behavior of
spacetime, type of singularity and other quantities.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, to appear in EPJ
