Abstract Hot-carrier luminescence emission is used to diagnose the cause of excess quiescence current, IDDQ, in a low power circuit implemented in CMOS 7SF technology. We found by optical inspection of the chip that the high IDDQ is related to the low threshold, Vt, device process and in particular to transistors with minimum channel length (0.18 μm). In this paper we will also show that it is possible to gain knowledge regarding the operating conditions of the IC from the analysis of optical emission due to leakage current, aside from simply locating defects and failures. In particular, we will show how it is possible to calculate the voltage drop across the circuit power grid from time-integrated acquisitions of leakage luminescence.

The current work describes an experimental investigation of isothermal and turbulent reacting flow field characteristics downstream of axisymmetric bluff body stabilizers under a variety of inlet mixture conditions. Fully premixed and stratified flames established downstream of this double cavity premixer/burner configuration were measured and assessed under lean and ultra-lean operating conditions. The aim of this thesis was to further comprehend the impact of stratifying the inlet fuelair mixture on the reacting wake characteristics for a range of practical stabilizers under a variety of inlet fuel-air settings. In the first part of this thesis, the isothermal mean and turbulent flow features downstream of a variety of axisymmetric baffles was initially examined. The effect of different shapes, (cone or disk), blockage ratios, (0.23 and 0.48), and rim thicknesses of these baffles was assessed. The variations of the recirculation zones, back flow velocity magnitude, annular jet ejection angles, wake development, entrainment efficiency, as well as several turbulent flow features were obtained, evaluated and appraised. Next, a comparative examination of the counterpart turbulent cold fuel-air mixing performance and characteristics of stratified against fully-premixed operation was performed for a wide range of baffle geometries and inlet mixture conditions. Scalar mixing and entrainment properties were investigated at the exit plane, at the bluff body annular shear layer, at the reattachment region and along the developing wake were investigated. These isothermal studies provided the necessary background information for clarifying the combustion properties and interpreting the trends in the counterpart turbulent reacting fields. Subsequently, for selected bluff bodies, flame structures and behavior for operation with a variety of reacting conditions were demonstrated. The effect of inlet fuel-air mixture settings, fuel type and bluff body geometry on wake development, flame shape, anchoring and structure, temperatures and combustion efficiencies, over lean and close to blow-off conditions, was presented and analyzed. For the obtained measurements infrared radiation, particle image velocimetry, laser doppler velocimetry, chemiluminescence imaging set-ups, together with Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy, thermocouples and global emission analyzer instrumentation was employed. This helped to delineate a number of factors that affectcold flow fuel-air mixing, flame anchoring topologies, wake structure development and overall burner performance. The presented data will also significantly assist the validation of computational methodologies for combusting flows and the development of turbulence-chemistry interaction models.

Suspended monorail transportation (SMT) plays an important role in alleviating the urban traffic pressure, and its vehicle–bridge dynamic features are significantly different from those of the traditional railway. To grasp the coupled vibration features of suspended monorail train–bridge system (SMTBS), this paper presents a comprehensive experimental investigation on the vehicle–bridge vibrational responses under different operating conditions. First, based on the Chengdu SMT test line in China, a full-scale field measurement of the coupled vibration responses of the SMTBS is elaborately conducted under constant speed conditions. Then, the vibrational responses of the SMTBS are analyzed in the time and frequency domains to reveal its coupled vibration features and vibration transmission characteristics. Further, considering an extreme train operating condition, the vibrational responses of the SMTBS are tested and analyzed under train emergency braking; and the vibration features of the vehicle and bridge are examined for emergency braking, along with several key indexes evaluated for the train braking performance. Results show that the vibrational accelerations transmitted from the frame to the center pin and then to the carbody will be significantly decreased in turn, and the vibrational dominant frequencies of the bogie, center pin, and carbody mainly fall with 0–100[Formula: see text]Hz, 0–50[Formula: see text]Hz, and 0–20[Formula: see text]Hz, respectively. Under moving train loads, the box beam produces plentiful high-frequency vibrations and the vibrations transmitted from the driving track to the top plate are drastically reduced. The train braking significantly intensifies the car-body longitudinal vibration; however, it has small influences on the car-body vertical and lateral vibrations.

A conventional vapor compression refrigeration system (VCRS) cascaded with a heat-assisted ejector refrigeration system (ERS) has been experimentally analyzed. Cascading allows the VCRS to operate at lower condenser temperatures and thus achieve a higher coefficient of performance. In this cascaded system, the condenser of the vapor compression system does not dissipate its heat directly to the evaporator of the ERS; instead, water circulates between the condenser of VCRS and the evaporator of ERS to exchange the heat. Seven ejectors of different geometries have been used in the ERS; however, all the ejectors could not maintain thermal equilibrium at the desired operating conditions. The compressor of the cascaded VCRS consumed 1.3 times less power than the noncascaded VCRS. Furthermore, the cascaded system provided a maximum 87.74% improvement in COP over the noncascaded system for the same operating conditions. The performance of the system remained constant until the critical condenser pressure of the ERS.

Multi-component liquid-fluidized beds are encountered in a variety of industrial processes. Often, segregation severely affects the performance of the process unit. Unfortunately, size-driven and density-driven separation processes may occur with a complex interplay, showing prevailing mechanisms that change with the operating conditions. For example, when the solids exhibit contrasting differences in size and density, even the direction of segregation can turn out hard to predict, giving rise for some systems to the so-called “layer inversion phenomenon”. A systematic experimental investigation is presented on 14 different binary beds composed of glass beads and ABS spheres with different size and density ratios and different bed composition. The analysis allows assessing the reliability of a model for predicting the segregation direction of fluidized binary beds (the Particle Segregation Model, PSM). By measurements of the solids’ concentration at the surface, expansion/segregation properties and the inversion voidage are compared with the PSM predictions, offering a direct means of model validation. Both the segregation direction throughout the expansion range and the value of the inversion voidage are compared. Extensive qualitative agreement is obtained for 12 out of 14 fluidized mixtures. Quantitatively, the average discrepancy between predicted and measured inversion voidage is below 5%, with a maximum of 17%.

An experimental investigation on the dynamic behaviour of a typical internal turret moored FPSO system with a turret located at midships position is reported. A 1:100 scale model of 140000t DWT turret moored FPSO system was tested under regular waves for three operating conditions i.e. 40%DWT, 70%DWT and 100%DWT in a 2m wide wave flume at a water depth of 1m for the wave frequencies from 0.55Hz to 1.25Hz in steps of 0.04Hz. The motions were measured by rotary type potentiometers and specially ring type load cells were used to measure the mooring forces. The model tests results are analysed and presented with discussions in this paper.
