A Small Transfer and Distribution System for Liquid Nitrogen

A system for remotely controlled filling of small Dewars with liquid nitrogen from a central storage Dewar vessel is described, consisting of a plunger type pump with an electromechanical driver and electromechanical ball type valves for distribution of liquid nitrogen. The preset nitrogen level in the small Dewars is kept constant by automatic refilling. The delivery is adjustable in steps by frequency change from 2.5 to 25 cm3/s, and delivery height up to 2 meters is assured

Influence green sand system by core sand additions

Today, about two thirds of iron alloys casting (especially for graphitizing alloys of iron) are produced into green sand systems with usually organically bonded cores. Separation of core sands from the green sand mixture is very difficult, after pouring. The core sand concentration increase due to circulation of green sand mixture in a closed circulation system. Furthermore in some foundries, core sands have been adding to green sand systems as a replacement for new sands. The goal of this contribution is: “How the green sand systems are influenced by core sands?”This effect is considered by determination of selected technological properties and degree of green sand system re-bonding. From the studies, which have been published yet, there is not consistent opinion on influence of core sand dilution on green sand system properties. In order to simulation of the effect of core sands on the technological properties of green sands, there were applied the most common used technologies of cores production, which are based on bonding with phenolic resin. Core sand concentration added to green sand system, was up to 50 %. Influence of core sand dilution on basic properties of green sand systems was determined by evaluation of basic industrial properties: moisture, green compression strength and splitting strength, wet tensile strength, mixture stability against staling and physical-chemistry properties (pH, conductivity, and loss of ignition). Ratio of active betonite by Methylene blue test was also determined

Chaos in drive systems

The purpose of this article is to provide an elementary introduction to the subject of chaos in the electromechanical drive systems. In this article, we explore chaotic solutions of maps and continuous time systems. These solutions are also bounded like equilibrium, periodic and quasiperiodic solutions
