After the lean fuel premixed combustion technology is applied to aero engines, severe combustion oscillations will be cased and led to hidden safety hazards such as engine vibration, further energy waste and other problems. Therefore, it is increasingly important to actively control combustion oscillations. In this paper, a multispectral radiation thermometry (MRT) is used to analyze the hydroxyl group, which is a measurable research object in the combustion chamber of an aero engine, and to fit the functional relationship between the radiation intensity ratio and the temperature in different bands. The theoretical value of the error is <2%. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of weak detection signal and excessive interference signal, an improved frequency domain filtering method based on fast Fourier transform is designed. Besides, the FPGA platform is used to ensure the real-time performance of the temperature measurement system, and simulations and experiments are performed. An oscillating signal with an oscillation frequency of 315 Hz is obtained on the established test platform, and the error is only 1.42%.

Management Issues

The book; under review provides a valuable account of the issues and factors in managing the irrigation system, and presents a lucid and thorough discussion on the performance of the irrigation bureaucracies. It comprises two parts: the first outlines the factors affecting irrigation performance under a wide range of topics in the first five chapters. In Chapter One, the authors have attempted to assess the performance of the irrigation bureaucracies, conceptualise irrigation management issues, and build an empirical base for analysis while drawing upon the experience of ten country cases in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The Second Chapter focuses on the variations in the management structures identified and the types of irrigation systems; and it defines the variables of the management structures. The activities and objectives of irrigation management are discussed in Chapter Three. The objectives include: greater production and productivity of irrigation projects; improved water distribution; reduction in conflicts; greater resource mobilisation and a sustained system performance. The authors also highlight the performance criterion in this chapter. They identify about six contextual factors which affect the objectives and the performance of irrigation, which are discussed in detail in Chapter Four. In Chapter Five, some organisational variables, which would lead to improvements in irrigation, are examined.

Non-synchronous vibrations arising near the stall boundary of compressors are a recurring and potentially safety-critical problem in modern aero-engines. Recent numerical and experimental investigations have shown that these vibrations are caused by the lock-in of circumferentially convected aerodynamic disturbances and structural vibration modes, and that it is possible to predict unstable vibration modes using coupled linear models. This paper aims to further investigate non-synchronous vibrations by casting a reduced model for NSV in the frequency domain and analysing stability for a range of parameters. It is shown how, and why, under certain conditions linear models are able to capture a phenomenon, which has traditionally been associated with aerodynamic non-linearities. The formulation clearly highlights the differences between convective non-synchronous vibrations and flutter and identifies the modifications necessary to make quantitative predictions.

AbstractA multi-step Lagrangian scheme at discrete times is proposed for the approximation of a nonlinear continuity equation arising as a mean-field limit of spatially inhomogeneous evolutionary games, describing the evolution of a system of spatially distributed agents with strategies, or labels, whose payoff depends also on the current position of the agents. The scheme is Lagrangian, as it traces the evolution of position and labels along characteristics, and is a multi-step scheme, as it develops on the following two stages: First, the distribution of strategies or labels is updated according to a best performance criterion, and then, this is used by the agents to evolve their position. A general convergence result is provided in the space of probability measures. In the special cases of replicator-type systems and reversible Markov chains, variants of the scheme, where the explicit step in the evolution of the labels is replaced by an implicit one, are also considered and convergence results are provided.

Control Decision

An expert control system based on transient response patterns and expert system techniques is proposed in this paper. Depending on the features of the closed-loop control system determines the control decision and adjusts the parameters of the controller. The proposed method requires minimal proper information about the controlled plant and, with the linear re-excitation learning method, the system is kept satisfying the performance criterion.

SummaryThe technique of regression on environmental index is used to examine the behaviour of varieties in monoculture and mixture. It is shown that, sometimes, single regressions for each variety do not provide an adequate explanation of the interactions between varieties and environments.

SummaryMixing systems have many applications in gas turbines and aircraft jet propulsion, e.g. mixing zones in combustion chambers, ejectors for jet lift thrust augmentors and supersonic propulsion systems. A further application similar to that of combustion chamber mixing is that of mixing the cold and hot exhausts of a bypass jet engine. These are both characterised by mixing at constant static pressure and approximately constant total pressure as opposed to the more general case of unequal pressures in ejector systems (Fig. 1).The exhaust mixing process as used in Rolls-Royce bypass jet engines, e.g. Spey and Conway, enables the potential of the bypass principle, in terms of minimum weight and fuel consumption, to be exploited by a simple practical device.This is achieved by mixing the two streams in a common duct of fairly short dimensions with a corrugated metal interface on the inlet side. The consideration of these practical systems forms the main topic of this paper.
