A method to estimate weight and dimensions of large and small gas turbine engines
A computerized method was developed to estimate weight and envelope dimensions of large and small gas turbine engines within + or - 5% to 10%. The method is based on correlations of component weight and design features of 29 data base engines. Rotating components were estimated by a preliminary design procedure which is sensitive to blade geometry, operating conditions, material properties, shaft speed, hub tip ratio, etc. The development and justification of the method selected, and the various methods of analysis are discussed
On representation of mechanical behavior and stereological measures of microstructure
Macroscopic homogeneity of a heterogeneous body is defined from various points of view. The applicability of the principle of Delesse to a single macroscopically homogeneous body is discussed. It is then seen that a function derived from a consideration of the area fraction of a phase can serve as a measure of clustering of particles of that phase

A method to estimate weight and dimensions of aircraft gas turbine engines. Volume 1: Method of analysis
Weight and envelope dimensions of aircraft gas turbine engines are estimated within plus or minus 5% to 10% using a computer method based on correlations of component weight and design features of 29 data base engines. Rotating components are estimated by a preliminary design procedure where blade geometry, operating conditions, material properties, shaft speed, hub-tip ratio, etc., are the primary independent variables used. The development and justification of the method selected, the various methods of analysis, the use of the program, and a description of the input/output data are discussed
Few-qubit quantum refrigerator for cooling a multi-qubit system
We propose to use a few-qubit system as a compact quantum refrigerator for
cooling an interacting multi-qubit system. We specifically consider a central
qubit coupled to ancilla qubits in a so-called spin-star model as our
quantum refrigerator. We first show that if the interaction between the qubits
is of the longitudinal and ferromagnetic Ising model form, the central qubit is
colder than the environment. The colder central qubit is then proposed to be
used as the refrigerant interface of the quantum refrigerator to cool down
general quantum many-qubit systems. We discuss a simple refrigeration cycle,
considering the operation cost and cooling efficiency, which can be controlled
by and the qubit-qubit interaction strength. Besides, bounds on the
achievable temperature are established. Such few-qubit compact quantum
refrigerators can be significant to reduce dimensions of quantum technology
applications, can be easy to integrate into all-qubit systems, and can increase
the speed and power of quantum computing and thermal devices

Thermalization of finite many-body systems by a collision model
We construct a collision model description of the thermalization of a finite
many-body system by using careful derivation of the corresponding Lindblad-type
master equation in the weak coupling regime. Using the example of two level
target system, we show that collision model thermalization is crucially
dependent on the various relevant system and bath timescales and on ensuring
that the environment is composed of ancillae which are resonant with the system
transition frequencies. Using this we extend our analysis to show that our
collision model can lead to thermalisation for certain classes of many-body
systems. We establish that for classically correlated systems our approach is
effective, while we also highlight its shortcomings, in particular with regards
to reaching entangled thermal states
100 GHz resonant cavity enhanced Schottky photodiodes
Cataloged from PDF version of article.Resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodiodes are promising candidates for applications in optical communications and interconnects where ultrafast high-efficiency detection is desirable. We have designed and fabricated RCE Schottky photodiodes in the (Al, In) GaAs material system for 900-nm wavelength. The observed temporal response with 10-ps pulsewidth was limited
by the measurement setup and a conservative estimation of the bandwidth corresponds to more than 100 GHz. A direct comparison of RCE versus conventional detector performance was performed by high speed measurements under optical excitation at resonant wavelength (895 nm) and at 840 nm where the device functions as a single-pass conventional photodiode. A more than two-fold bandwidth enhancement with the RCE detection scheme was demonstrated
Pushover analysis of historical Elti Hatun Mosque
Historical structures, being an important part of cultural heritage, have shown extreme vulnerability to seismic actions. A clear understanding of the performance of them is thus of critical importance for taking preventive actions. This paper presents a case study related to pushover analysis of a historical masonry structure located in Tunceli, Turkey. The evaluated monument is Elti Hatun Mosque located in the seismic zone 2 according to seismic zone map of Turkey. The mosque is modeled and analyzed with Diana finite element software on the base of real dimensions measured on site. Material properties are obtained from literature on the base of similar studies. The results are presented as pushover curves, crack distribution and failure modes. The results show that the safety level of the structure is acceptable at its current condition
Design and Optimization of High-Speed Resonant Cavity Enhanced Schottky Photodiodes
Cataloged from PDF version of article.Resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodiodes (PD’s)
are promising candidates for applications in optical communications
and interconnects where high-speed high-efficiency photodetection
is desirable. In RCE structures, the electrical properties
of the photodetector remain mostly unchanged; however, the
presence of the microcavity causes wavelength selectivity accompanied
by a drastic increase of the optical field at the resonant
wavelengths. The enhanced optical field allows to maintain a high
efficiency for faster transit-time limited PD’s with thinner absorption
regions. The combination of an RCE detection scheme with
Schottky PD’s allows for the fabrication of high-performance
photodetectors with relatively simple material structures and
fabrication processes. In top-illuminated RCE Schottky PD’s,
a semitransparent Schottky contact can also serve as the top
reflector of the resonant cavity. We present theoretical and
experimental results on spectral and high-speed properties of
GaAs–AlAs–InGaAs RCE Schottky PD’s designed for 900-nm
