This paper presents the experimental investigation on the operational performances of a Boiler after a Low NOx burner retrofit. After the retrofit, several operational performances emerge a major change, including the unburned combustible in flying ash raise under higher load, the temperature of reheat steam drop greatly under lower load. As a result, the changes have an influence on the economy of boiler. As for it, a special experimental study was carried out to obtain the best operating mode, and the law of change on the several parameters. The research results are a significant reference to retrofit involved in Low NOx burner utilized to a boiler.

This experimental study investigates the efficacy of lawyers' letters in providing auditors with corroborating evidence about litigation contingencies. Fifty second- and third-year law students indicate their willingness to provide auditors with estimates of the likelihoods of unfavorable outcomes and potential damages for two realistic litigation cases. The findings indicate that (1) the potential loss of attorney-client privilege and (2) likelihoods of unfavorable litigation outcomes that approach auditors' lower bound for accrual both may inhibit lawyers' responses to auditors. Overall, these findings raise doubts about the efficacy of this widely utilized auditing procedure and lead to concerns about whether litigation contingencies and corresponding losses may be underreported in financial statements.

This paper offers an experimental study of the microcutting mechanisms in marble grinding to aid the optimization of the marble grinding process. The necessity for investigating these mechanisms is dictated by the increased use of marble in many applications and the fact that grinding and polishing processes are the dominant technologies used to meet surface finish requirements in this natural material. The experiments are aimed at the determination of the normal component of the cutting force and of the grain traces in microcutting with a single diamond grain. The investigations carried out make provisions for establishing critical grain penetration and cutting depths and allow the prediction of the normal cutting force component as a function of grain penetration speed and depth.

Based on the benefication of the complex silicate ore containing scandium, the research about aid-leaching agent used in the leaching of the scandium concentrate was been conducted. And the suitable leaching agent and aid-leaching agent which the useful ions entered into leaching liquid and the harmful ions were kept in leaching residue were been found according to the experiment results. For the scandium of sample existed various complex silicate ore as isomorphism form, the research has adopted hydrochloric acid with aid-leaching agent to dissociate the silicate ore and make scandium entering into solution. The research results has shown that the scandium leaching rate could reach 92.06% under the optimal conditions which the hydrochloric acid concentration is 22.8%, the dosage of aid leaching agent is 6%, liquid solid ratio is 4:1, particle size of leaching material totally is less than 0.15mm and leaching time is 8h.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the compressive strength of concrete cubes containing termite mound soil. The specimens were cast using M20 grade of concrete. Two mix ratios for replacement of sand and cement are of 1:1.7:2.7 and 1:1.5:2.5 (cement: sand: aggregate) with water- cement ratio of 0.45 and varying combination of termite mound soil in equal amount ranging from 30% and 40% replacing fine aggregate (sand) and cement from 10%,15%,20% were used. A total of 27 cubes, 18 cylinders and 6 beams were cast by replacing fine aggregate, specimens were cured in water for 7,14 and 28 days. The test results showed that the compressive strength of the concrete cubes increases with age and decreases with increasing percentage replacement of cement and increases with increasing the replacement of sand with termite mound soil cured in water. The study concluded that termite mound cement concrete is adequate to use for construction purposes in natural environment.

Bispectral analysis is one of the relatively more recent tools in signal processing used for detection and identification of higher harmonics in a signal. It is also acknowledged to be one of Higher Order Spectral Analysis (HOSA) effective tools for detecting nonlinear behavior in mechanical systems. In this study, vibration sources in a hydraulic machine which may have features of nonlinear behavior were investigated. An experimental study was undertaken to formulate a more sensitive and effective method using Bispectral analysis to diagnose cavitation in a centrifugal pump facility. Cavitation was induced on the suction side of the pump. The cavitation signal was analyzed with and without induced cavitation conditions at different locations on the pump, and analyzed using FFT and bispectrum methods. It was observed that bispectral analysis could be used as an early indicator of cavitation with changes for severity of cavitation.

Abstract Laboratory experimental study was undertaken to characterise the four-phase slag/matte/metal/tridymite equilibria of the Cu-Fe-O-S-Si system at 1473 K [1200°C], 1523 K [1250° C] and 1573 [1300°C] in a "closed" system without interaction with gas phase. The research methodology involved high temperature equilibration, ultra-fast quenching of the equilibrated samples followed by quantitative measurement of the equilibrated phases by electron probe X-ray microanalysis. Attainment of chemical equilibrium was carefully checked by the 4-points test approach. The results obtained in the present study provide reliable fundamental experimental information, which is crucial for the development and optimisation of the multicomponent thermodynamic database for copper-containing systems.
