However, there is little information available regarding the density and viscosity of green diesel, which is crucial for the quality control of biofuels and their performance in engines. In this study, the properties of green diesel produced from palm and soybean oils hydrotreatment were investigated, and models were developed to predict the physical properties of green diesel and n-alkanes. The experimental measurements had uncertainties of 1×10-4 g/cm3 and 1×10-2 mPa s in density and viscosity, respectively. The models were found to be in good agreement with the experimental values. The study highlights the importance of density and viscosity for quality control and engine performance of biofuels. The developed models for predicting the physical properties of green diesel and n-alkanes can be useful for quality control and optimization of biofuel production processes. The findings can be useful for researchers, engineers, and policymakers working in the field of biofuels and renewable energy. Further research is needed to explore the applicability of the developed models to other types of biofuels and to investigate the environmental and economic sustainability of green diesel production.","PeriodicalId":207412,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Física","volume":"17 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141698452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new parameterization was considered for the first time by EDF and to make the normalization coefficient tend to unity, it is necessary to consider correction to the calculated real potential. Coupled channel calculations for various low-lying states were performed, and the best fit values for the deformation length with the above models were extracted by fitting the inelastic scattering cross section and compared to previous work values.

The finite element method successfully modeled the soundbox using the material properties of an actual violin, albeit with a simplified representation of the coupling with the air in the cavity and the forces from the strings. Achieving agreement with the real counterpart necessitated careful adjustment of the modal damping in the simulation. Damped models of violins are infrequently encountered. The impulse response of the soundbox model was obtained through the calculation of thousands of substeps induced by forced vibration. To streamline the time-domain analysis, the superimposed method was implemented instead of the more commonly used full option, resulting in a significant reduction in computational time. Additionally, synthetic musical notes, accounting for how the force of the strings is transmitted through the bridge, were employed as input to the soundbox model. Subsequently, the impulse responses were convolved with the synthetic notes to generate sounds. Through these procedures, the violin’s performance was assessed as the height of the arching profile of the plates was adjusted. The results demonstrated that higher arching profiles led to a general increase in the resonant frequencies of the violin, perceptible in the sound generated by the model.","PeriodicalId":207412,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Física","volume":"36 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141047960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve our goal we show, at first, that, provided the beam entering a detection system has a small aperture, the image of a point object formed by that system in a vertical plane passing through the object is a point, regardless of whether the image formed by an optical system previously traversed by the beam has generated a non-point image of the object. Secondly, we show that the different images formed by the detection system, as its position relative to the object varies, are located on the caustic curve corresponding to the previously traversed optical system. Next, we have found the analytical expressions of the caustic curves corresponding to two particular cases, one of them being the inferior mirages. These expressions have been found by means of the Legendre antitransform of the asymptotic lines to the paths of light rays reaching the detector. For the case of inferior mirages, we have studied in detail the locus of the images in each vertical plane passing through the object as a function of the position of the object relative to the ground, its position relative to the detector, and the atmospheric conditions. Finally, we get somewhat into the matter of the images position as they would be seen by a casual observer of an inferior mirage.","PeriodicalId":207412,"journal":{"name":"Revista Mexicana de Física","volume":"27 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141031316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical Biot-Savart law for this coil geometry is discussed in this work, and the magnetic induction lines are characterized. Magnetic field modeling is done with the finite element method; the above processes are correlated with the register of the magnetic field of the Rodin performed with a three-dimensional magnetometer.
