Measurements of laminar flame speeds of acetone/methane/air mixtures

The effect of acetone on the laminar flame speed of methane/air mixtures is investigated over a range of stoichiometries at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The liquid acetone is vaporised and seeded into the methane/air mixture at 5%, 9% and 20% of the total fuel by mole. The experiment is performed using the jet-wall stagnation flame configuration and the particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) technique. Laminar flame speeds are derived by extrapolating the reference flame speed back to zero strain rate. Experimental results are compared to numerically calculated values using a base methane chemical kinetic mechanism (GRI-Mech 3.0) extended with acetone oxidation and pyrolysis reactions from the literature. The experimental results show that acetone addition does not affect the laminar flame speed of methane significantly within the range of concentrations considered, with a stronger effect on the rich range than under fuel-lean conditions, and that the peak laminar flame speed of acetone in air is ~42.5 cm/s at ϕ = 1.2. Simulation results reveal that the most important reactions determining acetone laminar flame speeds are H + O2 → O + OH, OH + CO → H + CO2, HO2 + CH3 → OH + CH3O and H + O2 + H2O → HO2 + H2O. Comparison of the expected disappearance of acetone relative to methane shows that the former is a good fluorescent marker for the latter

MASJID CHENG HOO SURABAYASENI BANGUNAN, ORNAMEN, DAN KALIGRAFI

Karena latar belakang tersebut, masalah yang dikaji dalam penelitian. (1) bagaimana seni bangunan dari Masjid Cheng Hoo Surabaya, (2) bagaimana ornamen Masjid Cheng Hoo Surabaya, (3)bagaimana kaligrafi Masjid Cheng Hoo Surabaya. Metode kualitatif digunakan sebagai dasar penelitian dengan rancangan deskriptif untuk mendeskripsikan seni bangunan, ornamen, dan kaligrafi yang terdapat pada Masjid Cheng Hoo Surabaya, dengan teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan teknik observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian mengetahui bahwa masjid yang menyerupai tempat ibadah Tri Dharma dibangun untuk mengenang Laksamana Cheng Hoo. Kombinasi kehadiran budaya Cina dan elemen Islam dalam seni bangunan, ornamen masjid dalam bentuk lukisan dan ukiran atau cetakan di lantai, pintu, jendela, dinding, kuda-kuda, dan langit-langit. Gaya kaligrafi Islam di Masjid Cheng Hoo seperti gaya kaligrafi Raihani masjid pada umumnya. Terdapat keunikan pada dinding yang ditimbulkan oleh gaya kaligrafi Raihani dikombinasikan dengan jendela melingkar seperti bangunan Cina dan terbuat dari besi. Pada papan masjid terdapat gaya kaligrafi Cina: Cursive Script (xingshu).Kata Kunci: Masjid Cheng Hoo, ornamen, kaligrafi, dan seni bangunan.The spread of Islam in the archipelago occur due to the side effects of commerce, educational institutions, and marriages were performed migrants from Arab, Gujarat, and China. The arrival of Admiral Cheng Hoo along with a fleet of ships from China were stopped in Indonesia gives influence the spread of Islam and the culture of China. Indonesia is now the majority society and learn to embrace Islam, and to build a mosque as a place of worship and institutions of civilization and culture of Islamic societies, in the mosque Muslims worship together. But the Quran and Assunah there are no rules in detail and clearly reveal the shape of the building. PITI (Trustees of Tawheed Islamic Faith) in Surabaya build Cheng Hoo Mosque to commemorate Admiral Cheng Hoo who brought Islam and the influence of Chinese culture. Because of this background, issues examined in the study. (1) How is the art of building Cheng Hoo Mosque Surabaya. (2) How is the ornaments Cheng Hoo Mosque Surabaya.

Using genetic evolutionary software application testing to verify a DSP SoC

Copyright © 2008 IEEEA digital signal processor (DSP) system-on-chip (SoC) can be designed using a variety of architectures and techniques. This often presents different verification challenges compared to conventional SoC or processor designs. Verification of such designs should take into account the goals and applications of the DSP, and how they are eventually used. This paper proposes an application based verification methodology and demonstrates this technique on a real-life DSP SoC design. Our technique employs a library of specially devised application functions as test building blocks, followed by a genetic evolutionary test generator to compose these application functions into effective test programs.Adriel Cheng, Cheng-Chew Lim, Yihe Sun, Hu He, Zhixiong Zhou, Ting Le
