Screw conveyors are very effective for transporting dry particulates, giving good control over the throughput. Despite their apparent simplicity, transportation action is complex and designers have tended to rely heavily on empirical performance data. In this paper, we use DEM examine how variations of particle properties influence screw conveyor. The primary focus our study comparing predicted mass flow rates with experimentally measured values. secondary other measures (such as: speeds...
We investigate the fall of planar granular columns in a quasi-static regime using combination laboratory experiments and simulations discrete element method (DEM). Columns made alternately coloured sand layers are initially laid out box then released when retaining wall is set slow motion with constant speed. The flow involves failure material along multiple slip planes at different stages deformation, leading to complex patterns. DEM simulations, 2D 3D, able qualitatively quantitatively...
Abstract The prediction of wear and performance change over the life cycle consumable liners used to protect grinding mills is an important element their optimization. Poor behaviour can lead higher replacement costs production loss during liner replacement. Prediction using discrete method (DEM) provide valuable information about impact design on liner. Here, DEM extended predict evolution shape throughout cycle. Using a Hicom 110 nutating mill as case study, we demonstrate process for...
Increasingly high aircraft power demands require that the interactions between an aircraft’s electrical subsystem and engine be considered in dynamic, systemlevel tests. Traditionally, system-level dynamics have only been captured completely assembled systems. Component-level or subsystem-level optimization is no longer appropriate because highly interdependent subsystems become apparent during analysis. In effort to mitigate program risk, enable optimization, reduce cost of testing...

The paper describes the development of primary chain drives, especially for those cars which have transverse engines driving front wheels. Particular attention is paid to satisfactory means adjustment and achievement high standards silence in operation under all conditions, coupled with life service. Intensive rig road tests, measuring results are described. conclusions reached thus far summarized.
The paper deals with wear performance of roller chain camshaft drives, particular reference to engine condition and its effect on lubricating qualities automotive oils the consequences concerning wear. Serious lube oil contamination is a feature frequently encountered in diesel engines can also arise gasoline units brought by certain aspects design, service intervals type vehicle usage. development story special Extra Life Roller Chain dealt detail, involving rig evaluation together...
