An analytical solution for the temperature distribution in 2D laminar reacting flow between closely spaced parallel plates is derived as part of a larger effort to develop a nonintrusive technique for measuring gas temperature distributions in millimeter and submillimeter scale channel flows. The results show that the exact solution, a Fourier series, which is a function of the Peclet number, is approximated by second and fourth order polynomial fits to an R2 value of almost unity for both fits. The slopes of the temperature near the wall (heat fluxes) are captured to within 20% of the exact solution using a second order polynomial and to within 2% of the exact solution using a fourth order polynomial. The fits are used in a nonintrusive Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy technique and enable one to infer the temperature distribution along an absorbing gas column from the measured absorption spectrum. The technique is demonstrated in a silicon-walled microcombustor.

A fourth order transmission error was employed to improve the stability and tooth strength of circular-arc curvilinear cylindrical gears. The coefficient of fourth order polynomial curve was determined, the imaginary rack cutter which formed by the rotation of a head cutter and the imaginary pinion were introduced to determine the pinion and gear tooth surfaces, respectively. The numerical simulation of meshing shows: 1) the fourth order transmission error can be achieved by the proposed method; 2) the stability transmission can be performed by increasing the angle of the transfer point of the cycle of meshing; 3) the tooth fillet strength can be enhanced.

In this paper, a fourth-order polynomial expression is obtained for the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of a MOS transistor operating in the triode region. Using this expression, closed-form expressions are obtained for the second-, third- and fourth-harmonic distortion of a MOS voltage-controlled- resistors. The analytical expressions obtained in this paper can be used for a quantitative study of the effect of different parameters of the performance of MOS voltage-controlled-resistors.

Functions of the phase space variables that can considered as possible energy functions for a given family of dissipative chaotic systems are discussed. This kind of functions are interesting due to their use as an energy-like quantitative measure to characterize different aspects of dynamic behavior of associated chaotic systems. We have calculated quadratic energy-like functions for the cases of Lorenz, Chen, Lü–Chen and Chua, and show the patterns of dissipation of energy on their respective attractors. We also show that in the case of the Rössler system at least a fourth-order polynomial is required to properly represent its energy.

The general features of the degeneracy structure of (p = 2) parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics are employed to yield a classification scheme for the form of the parasupersymmetric Hamiltonians. The method is applied to parasupersymmetric systems whose Hamiltonian is the square root of a fourth order polynomial in the generators of the parasupersymmetry. These systems are interesting to study for they lead to the introduction of a set of topological invariants very similar to the Witten indices of ordinary supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The topological invariants associated with parasupersymmetry are shown to be related to a pair of Fredholm operators satisfying two compatibility conditions. An explicit algebraic expression for the topological invariants of a class of parasupersymmetric systems is provided.

This article presents a new analytical method for locating secondary instant centres (SICs) of indeterminate planar linkages. In this method the SICs are first discriminated into three classes according to their level of geometric dependencies. The concepts of instant-centre digraph, instant-centre walk, and instant-centre circuit are then introduced to establish the recursive relationships between the classified instant centres. It is shown that the location of the instant centres within an instant-centre circuit can be evaluated recursively by first solving a second-order polynomial equation. In addition, by combining the recurrence conditions of several related instant-centre walks, the locations of SICs that are not within an instant-centre circuit can be solved analytically from a fourth-order polynomial equation. The proposed method does not rely on any velocity information or graphical techniques; therefore, it can be applied systematically to all types of indeterminate linkages. It can also be implemented on digital computers for automated analysis. Three numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the usage of this method.

The Clemens Coupling is a constant-velocity, universal-type joint for nonparallel intersecting shafts. This mechanism is a spatial linkage with five links connected by four revolute pairs, R, and one spherical pair (ball-and-socket joint), S, which is located symmetrically with respect to the input and output shafts. The Clemens Coupling is a special case of the R-R-S-R-R spatial linkage with general proportions, which will, therefore, be called the Generalized Clemens Coupling. This paper gives the algebraic derivation of the input-output equation for the general R-R-S-R-R linkage and demonstrates that it is a fourth-order polynomial in the half tangents of the crank angles. The effect of housing-error tolerances on the displacements of the Clemens Coupling has also been considered. The results demonstrate feasibility of closed-form solutions for five-link mechanisms with kinematic pairs having more than two degrees of freedom.
