All highway design agencies seek acceptable, long-lasting, and cost-effective strategies while designing these facilities. The traffic demands on roads are much higher than they have been in the past. Increased traffic loads, larger traffic volumes, and insufficient maintenance have all contributed to serious road surface distress (e.g., rutting and cracking) due to rapid development. As conventional asphalt combinations are unable to withstand high axle loads and tire pressures, interest in polymer-modified asphalt has grown. Polymer modification of asphalt is one of the most effective ways to improve asphalt qualities. The practical temperature range of binders is greatly expanded by polymers. The inclusion of the polymer can considerably improve the binder qualities by increasing the stiffness of the bitumen and enhancing its temperature susceptibility, enabling the building of safer roads and lower maintenance costs. This research presents a laboratory investigation of the Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) polymer-modified bitumen. NHA-B gradation, PARCO 60/70 grade bitumen, and EVA polymer of TPI Polene Public Company Limited were used. Penetration, softening point, ductility, and viscosity tests were used to evaluate the conventional properties of the asphalt binders. Three different percentages of polymers were used i.e., 2%, 4%, and 6%. The impact of the EVA polymer on permanent deformation and moisture susceptibility was investigated. A double wheel tracker (DWT) was used to quantify permanent deformation (rutting), and a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) was used to examine moisture susceptibility using an Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) test. For different percentages of bitumen volumetric properties according to Marshall Mix Design procedure were measured, and then Optimum Bitumen Content (OBC) was evaluated. Performance tests were performed using above mentioned percentages of EVA. The rutting potential of mixes was improved by the addition of EVA as compared to control asphalt mixes. The same effect of the polymer was on the moisture susceptibility of the prepared samples. This showed that EVA polymer can be used in flexible pavements to reduce permanent deformation and high-temperature problems.","PeriodicalId":254600,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MECHANICS OF CONTINUA AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128378951","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}

Because of the double saliency structure and the high nonlinearity of magnetic material, it is difficult to represent the flux-linkage and static torque characteristic of the SRM. This work promotes the use of an improved numerical integration scheme for the static characteristics of SRM. The static torque function that depends on the rotor position and the phase current of the flux linkage features family (for different rotor positions) is improved in the proposed work. Firstly, we use an experimental setup for the electromagnetic characteristic of SRM. Then, we use the improved scheme to develop an efficient mathematical model for static characteristics and finally simulate the static characteristic of SRM through MATLAB code. In the last step, we compare the performance of the proposed integrator model with an existing approach for better efficiency of the static characteristic of SRM with experimental validation.","PeriodicalId":254600,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MECHANICS OF CONTINUA AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126550383","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 polynomials are pairly permuted and the results found showed that one polynomial is a factor of the other polynomial or one polynomial is relatively prime to the other and some gave different results. This important feature is of combinatorial significance and can be investigated further to formulate some theoretic axioms for this class of Aunu permutation pattern.

One of the major drawbacks of a gas turbine is that the performance (power output and thermal efficiency) of a gas turbine decreases instantly with the rise of ambient temperature. At Daur SSGCL Gas Compression Station, gas turbines are used to derive centrifugal type gas compressors to raise the pressure of natural gas where ambient temperature varies between 70 to 500C which decreases the performance of gas turbines. Inlet air cooling is a method through which the effect of ambient temperature on the performance of gas turbines can be decreased. This technique of cooling intake air increases the performance of gas turbines by increasing air density. There are various types of inlet air cooling but, in this study, two types of inlet air cooling techniques are discussed, one of which is wetted media evaporative type and the other one is vapour absorption type. The Evaporative type inlet air cooling technique is suitable for sites with high ambient temperature and low relative humidity and vapour absorption type is used for a wide range of ambient air temperature. In this study, thermodynamic models of the gas turbine have been developed without inlet air cooling (base case/cycle) with inlet air cooling for analyzing the effects of ambient conditions (temperature and relative humidity) on the performance of the gas turbine. The simulated results obtained from Engineering Equation Solver with inlet air cooling systems (vapour absorption and wetted media evaporator cooler) are compared without inlet air cooling (base cycle) gas turbine. On comparison of results of a gas turbine with inlet air cooling systems to without inlet air cooling at ambient conditions, T_0=298.15K (250C) and ∅=60% it is found that gas turbine with evaporator cooler produces 289kW more power than base case/cycle and 390kW more output power with vapour absorption inlet air cooling.","PeriodicalId":254600,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF MECHANICS OF CONTINUA AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134172754","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 motion of any number (object) is positive whether it is forward motion or backward motion. Similarly, countup and countdown motions of numbers are also positive. Therefore, there is no existence of negative numbers. The author framed the law of the theory of dynamics of numbers.
