Force Characteristics

The stability of the boom system of sprayers is easily affected by the liquid sloshing force and the uniformity of droplet deposition deteriorates. Therefore, the liquid sloshing forces in the rectangular tank were measured through experiments. Three main factors affecting the sloshing forces were examined. Experimental results reveal that the sloshing forces measured fit well with the theoretical curve and the maximum sloshing force is independent of the excitation amplitude for a violent sloshing. Based on these characteristics, a practical method was proposed which can approximately calculate the maximum sloshing force based on the linear model, and can be used for the sprayer chassis design and active and passive control of boom attitude.

Theoretical Results

Passive control of vibrations in an elastic structure subjected to horizontal, harmonic excitation by utilizing a nearly square liquid tank is investigated. When the natural frequency ratio 1:1:1 is satisfied among the natural frequencies of the structure and the two predominant sloshing modes (1,0) and (0,1), the performance of a nearly square tank as a tuned liquid damper (TLD) is expected to be superior to rectangular TLDs due to internal resonance. In the theoretical analysis, Galerkin's method is used to determine the modal equations of motion for liquid sloshing considering the nonlinearity of sloshing. Then, van der Pol's method is used to obtain the expressions for the frequency response curves for the structure and sloshing modes. Frequency response curves and bifurcation set diagrams are shown to investigate the influences of the aspect ratio of the tank cross section and the tank installation angle on the system response. From the theoretical results, the optimal values of the system parameters can be determined in order to achieve maximum efficiency of vibration suppression for the structure. Hopf bifurcations occur and amplitude modulated motions (AMMs) may appear depending on the values of the system parameters. Experiments were also conducted, and the theoretical results agreed well with the experimental data.

Abstract Liquid sloshing phenomenon taking place in partly filled ships’ tanks directly affects the stability of a vessel and her safety on seaway, however, only static calculations are carried out onboard ships nowadays. The presented investigation is focused on dynamic approach towards liquid motion onboard ships. The set of numerical simulations of liquid sloshing taking place in moving tanks is carried out in terms of tank’s dimensions and its elevation within ship’s hull. A number of characteristics of the heeling moment due to liquid sloshing is obtained and analyzed.

Abstract Effective separation of water and oil dispersions is considered a critical step in the determination of technical and economic success in the petroleum industry over the years. Moreover, a deeper understanding of the emulsification process and different affected parameters is essential for cost-effective oil production, transportation, and downstream processing. Numerous studies conducted on the concept of dispersion characterization indicate the importance of this concept, which deserves attention by the scientific community. Therefore, a comprehensive review study with critical analysis on significant concepts will help readers follow them easily. This study is a comprehensive review of the concept of dispersion characterization and conducted studies recently published. The main purposes of this review are to 1) Highlight flaws, 2) Outline gaps and weaknesses, 3) Address conflicts, 4) Prevent duplication of effort, 5) List factors affecting dispersion. It was found that the separation efficiency and stability of dispersions are affected by different chemical and physical factors. Factors affecting the stability of the emulsions have been studied in detail and will help to look for the right action to ensure stable emulsions. In addition, methods of ensuring stability, especially coalescence are highlighted, and coalescence mathematical explanations of phenomena are presented.

The protein folded state is the result of the fine balance of a variety of different forces. Even minor structural perturbations may have a significant impact on the stability of these macromolecules. Studies carried out in recent decades have led to the convergent view that proteins are endowed with a flexible spine. One of the open issues related to protein local backbone geometry is the identification of the factors that influence the amplitude of the τ (N—Cα—C) angle. Here, statistical analyses performed on an updated ensemble of X-ray protein structures by dissecting the contribution of the major factors that can potentially influence the local backbone geometry of proteins are reported. The data clearly indicate that the local backbone conformation has a prominent impact on the modulation of the τ angle. Therefore, a proper assessment of the impact of the other potential factors can only be appropriately evaluated when small (φ, ψ) regions are considered. Here, it is shown that when the contribution of the backbone conformation is removed by considering small (φ, ψ) areas, an impact of secondary structure, as defined byDSSP, and/or the residue type on τ is still detectable, although to a limited extent. Indeed, distinct τ-value distributions are detected for Pro/Gly and β-branched (Ile/Val) residues. The key role of the local backbone conformation highlighted here supports the use of variable local backbone geometry in protein refinement protocols.

The Stability

One of the most common and economical methods for waste disposal is landfilling. The landfill cover system is one of the main components of landfills which prevents waste exposure to the environment by creating a barrier between the waste and the surrounding environment. The stability and integrity of the landfill cover system is a fundamental part of the design, construction, and maintenance of landfills. A reinforced tapered landfill cover system can be considered as a practical method for improving its stability; however, the simultaneous effects of seismic and seepage forces in the reinforced tapered landfill cover system have not been studied. The current paper provides a solution based on the limit equilibrium method in order to evaluate the stability of a reinforced tapered landfill cover system under seismic and seepage (both horizontal and parallel seepage force patterns) loading conditions. The proposed analytical approach is applied to different design cases through parametric study and the obtained results are compared to those derived from literature. Parametric study is performed to illustrate the sensitivity of the safety factor (FS) to the different design parameters. The obtained results reveal that parameters which describe the geometry have limited effects on the stability of the landfill cover system in comparison to the rest of the studied design parameters. Moreover, the comparisons between the derived results and available methods demonstrate good agreement between obtained findings with those reported in the literature.
