Abstract In this paper, a novel one-dimensional matching method of an asymmetric twin-scroll turbine (ATST) with a small scroll bypass wastegate is initially presented for energy improvement. The developed method presents further insights into efficiency prediction of the ATST and the small scroll exhaust bypass in the matching process of model characterization. The efficiency of the small and large scroll turbines was approximately assessed with two times flow parameters of the small and large scroll turbines, respectively, as well as according to turbine efficiency prediction curves. Subsequently, given the matching results of a 9-L engine, a targeted ATST was developed; its effectiveness was verified by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and the performance tests of a turbine and an engine. As revealed from the results, the prediction efficiency of the ATST well complies with that of the numerical calculation and performance tests of turbines and engines. Compared with the common large scroll exhaust bypass wastegate, the small one exhibits better engine performance and can save nearly 0.5–1.5% fuel consumption at middle and high engine speeds. Moreover, the reasons of which were explored for better understanding of the mechanism accordingly.

This paper discusses about various methods involved in detection of avian pox in the birds using images. Digital images are corrupted while sending and receiving the images because of noisy sensors which degrade the quality of image. Pre-processing becomes an initial and crucial step in image processing to remove the noise and maintain fine details and texture of the image. Pre-processed images can be used for further work. Mean, Median, Weiner, Mean Maximum, Mean Minimum filters are used and performance tests are made using Signal Noise Ratio. Based on the performance test, removal of impulse noise is well done by Median filter and produces the best result when compared to other filters. K-Means clustering and SVM are used for identification of the disease.

Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools have been widely used in the design of automotive components and systems. Methods, procedures and measurables for analyses involving Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) components are well-defined and well developed. Comparatively, significantly less attention has been paid to the design and analysis of test cells. Better designed test cells will lead to increased test cell availability and thus also increases engine performance test opportunities. This trend was observed in Cummins Inc. where CAE-guided test cell designs improved test-cell availability and rate of engine development. Here, improved conversion efficiencies in test cell Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) modules were predicted using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools, and validated against data collected from the test cells. The resultant improvements resulted in dramatic increases in test cell up-time. This paper documents how CAE tools commonly used in engine design were successfully expanded to aid the design of Cummins Inc. test cells. It presents the CFD methods that were used in this analysis, compares CFD predictions to actual conversion efficiencies in the SCR module, and also proposes a set of analysis tasks and methods that can be applied to improve test cell design and performance in the future.

This study evaluates the effectiveness of three different media in teaching a specific motor skill. Validated lessons utilizing three different media — motion/sound, slide/sound, and story boards — were used to teach basic manipulations of the M203 Grenade Launcher. Written and performance tests, derived directly from the instructional objectives, were used to evaluate the learning. As evaluated by the performance test, learners using motion film performed significantly better than those using either slides or workbooks, and required significantly less time. Written tests, however, failed to detect this difference. These results suggest that much previous research comparing media may have been inconclusive due to defects in experimental design, such as using a written test to measure motor skills taught by visual media.

This paper presents the result of investigations carried out in studying the emission and performance of diesel engine using the castor biodiesel and its blend with diesel from 0% to 40% by volume. The acid-based catalyzed transesterification system was used to produce castor biodiesel and the highest yield of 82.5% was obtained under the optimized condition. The FTIR spectrum of castor biodiesel indicates the presence of C=O and C–O functional groups, which is due to the ester compound in biodiesel. The smoke emission test revealed that B40 (biodiesel blend with 40% biodiesel and 60% diesel) had the least black smoke compared to the conventional diesel. Diesel engine performance test indicated that the specific fuel consumption of biodiesel blend was increased sufficiently when the blending ratio was optimized. Thus, the reduction in exhaust emissions and reduction in brake-specific fuel consumption made the blends of caster seed oil (B20) a suitable alternative fuel for diesel and could help in controlling air pollution.

Abstract In many countries completing the performance test requirements is obligatory only for stallions, but some breeders also decide for the assessment of their mares’ performance under standardized conditions. This study is aimed the evaluation of sex related effects on behavioral and physiological reactivity in fearfulness test and performance test scores in Polish warmblood horses of Małopolska breed (22 mares and 34 stallions) assessed at the training station. Equine reactivity to potentially frightening stimuli was assessed in the fearfulness test by behavior scoring and heart rate monitoring. Horses of both sexes were assessed in standardized performance tests accordingly to the rules of performance tests given in the Breeding Program for the Małopolski Horse Breed by the Polish Horse Breeders Association. The mares showed a significantly more quiet response in the fearfulness test in comparison to stallions. A relation among some reactivity and performance traits in both sexes was found. The behavior scores of the fearfulness test were positively correlated with character and temperament only in mares. However, the better the scores for temperament and character the stallions received, the lower the heart rate before testing. The present study demonstrates that temperament and character assessment, as a part of the standardized performance test, should involve not only a subjective trainer’s evaluation, but also a horse reactivity assessment based on objective behavioral tests and heart rate monitoring. The results showed that sex has an effect on behavioral reactivity of horses. Thus, it is important to consider the horses’ sex during selection for a particular type of riding, and performance assessment should be obligatory for both sexes. The assessment of the same performance traits in both, stallions and mares, significantly improves good breeding practice.
