    Abstract: The paper studies the suppression of oscillation of a certain two-mass system when it is transferred from the initial state of rest to the given state of rest during a time interval prescribed. The problem is solved by the two methods: the Pontryagin maximum principle (first method) and the generalized Gauss principle (second method). Computational... Show More

    Abstract: Thrust bearings are generally developed to sustain axial load generated from rotating machinery. Predicting lubrication performances of thrust bearings plays an important role in engineering applications. Taking into account the effects of non-Newtonian rheology, the lubrication performances for a sine film thrust bearing are investigated in the pr... Show More

    Abstract: At present closed and open loop geothermal heat pumps are in use. Nevertheless, they have disadvantages, which seriously limit their wide use. First disadvantage is the shortage of rather large free areas for laying underground heat exchangers in form of rather long pipelines. This problem arises especially in towns and large cities. Second disadva... Show More

    Abstract: A domestic biogas digester was used to test the concept of controlled anaerobic digestion. A mixture of 20kg cow dong, 4kg of water hyacinth, and 8 kg of domestic waste, was used to run the test. Result showed that a reasonable amount of biogas is generated on the second day of the test period. However, during the 5th and 7th day of the 10 days tes... Show More
