This is necessary for the correct performance of the industrial robot tool movement in the robot’s workspace monitored by control system. To do this, mathematical models describing the transformations of coordinates in this robot model must be supplemented by a mathematical model formed for the installed instrument. Mathematical models describing coordinate transformations for a tool are created by the control system automatically when the instrument calibration procedure is executed before the new tool is put into operation. The created mathematical models are stored in the permanent memory of the controller of the control system in the tool library, indicating the logical name assigned to the tool. Subsequently, when programming the motion of an industrial robot, the control system specifies the tool to be installed on the robot by assigning a special parameter to the logical name of the selected tool.","PeriodicalId":7286,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Automobile Engineering","volume":"50 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78265482","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}

At the same time, accidents of various kinds (e.g. car, rail, aircraft, ships, industrial, etc.) have never stopped taking place. Hence, for any engineering and socio-technical system, safety has become one of the most important concerns in modern society. In order to understand the science of accidents, some notable accident theories and models were reviewed in this paper and their relative merits and demerits were discussed as well. The study finds that accident models and theories are diversified and different from each other. Therefore, the science behind accident cannot be unified into a single discipline. Also, changes in human civilization over the years have given birth to new modes of accidents (such as automobile, aircraft, spacecraft and etc.). This study, thus, searches the unified science of accidents and therefore, discusses the newly developed accident analysis technique called the Logic Programming Technique (LPT). It is expected that this new domain of safety engineering may contribute to achieving safety in the future automobile industry.","PeriodicalId":7286,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Automobile Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80537849","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}

In this study, the enthalpy energy available in exhaust gases is evaluated and different factors, affecting it, are discussed. Then an exhaust gas hybrid system for automotive A/C is designed. Based on conducted dynamometer tests, it is found that the exhaust gases can drive the system power turbine; hence enabling it for rotating the A/C compressor. The produced power depends on many factors. Indeed it increases from (1.316 kW) to (2.633 kW) as the engine is loaded up to 100%. Similar effects on this power are observed as engine (rpm), size, number of cylinders and compression ratio augment. Concerning the engine backing power for the produced power; it is found that it decreases as the engine loading increases and Tambient decreases, thus reducing fuel consumption. Furthermore, the new system is more suitable for vehicles with large size engines and smaller cabins where lesser engine partial loads can mostly provide sufficient power for driving the A/C compressor. For the system design, the incorporation of a motorized adjustable tensioner with a torque sensor and an (ECU) enables the system to minimize the engine energy consumption and decrease the exhaust gas pollution. Indeed the findings show that if the engine runs at a partial load (50%) the new A/C system will save about (60%) of the power consumption for air conditioning.","PeriodicalId":7286,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Automobile Engineering","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79083030","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}

Fossil fuels are primary fuels which are used in IC engines because of increasing consumption day by day its alarming that these will deplete in near future. Researchers in field of inter combustion trying to use alternate fuels to fulfill energy demand of IC engine. Among the others, hydrogen is capturing attention as alternate fuel in engine for proper combustion without smoke as there is no carbon is present in it. In this article, hydroxy (HHO) gas has many excellent combustion properties that can be used for improving performance characteristics of diesel-fired Compression Ignition (CI) engines. Brown gas (HHO) was produced by using the electrolysis process with KOH(aq) as catalyst with stainless steel electrodes in a leak proof plexiglass reactor was presented in ongoing piece of writing. Produced gas is used as supplementary fuel in inlet manifold of engine test bed (modal#TQ200) which has one cylinder, air cooled, four stroke compressed ignition. Performance characteristics of engine were recorded under the same test condition with and without installation of HHO generator. Experimental results were taken over the range of speed from 1950 to 3450 rpm using hydraulic dynamometer at constant load condition of torque 2 N-m. Different engine performance parameters were calculated like engine brake power, the brake specific fuel consumption, the thermal efficiency, the mechanical efficiency and the specific fuel consumption with or without HHO gas. The results clearly indicated that engine’s brake power, thermal efficiency and mechanical efficiency increased 22%, 47% 24%, respectively while engine’s brake specific fuel consumption and specific fuel consumption (SFC) decreased upto maximum value of 35% and 27% respectively compared with engine operating without HHO generator. Main objectives of this research are to decrease the fuel consumption and increase power and efficiencies of CI engine and successfully achieved as witnessed in results.","PeriodicalId":7286,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Automobile Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74047616","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}

Bok, Qin Jingyan","doi":"10.4172/2167-7670.1000166","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2167-7670.1000166","url":null,"abstract":"The hypothesis of this paper is the examination of dome constructions using the space technology nanomaterial silica aerogel as insulating material. Silica aerogels are nanomaterials with excellent thermal insulations properties because 99.98% of their volume can be pure air. Insulation’s origin is the Latin insula ‘island’, an “isolated land” we could say. Planet Earth is a “space island”, in other words an oasis enveloped by its atmosphere: a layer of gases named sky surrounds our planet and protects life from genetic damage by ultraviolet solar radiation. By imitating nature -and in order to protect themselves-humans create garments and architectures. The primary function for garments and architecture is to insulate and to protect the human body. Silica aerogels could be considered as the eco friendly “plastic” of the 21st century because they can find application in any field. As aerogels are phenomenal energy savers they could be the paradigmatic materials for designing the insulation for future sustainable space habitats. Aerogels represent one of the most promising materials for thermally insulating buildings of the future, since the material demonstrates high performance, exhibiting thermal conductivities of 10-20 mW/(mK) in insulated, commercial products not used in a vacuum. Aerogels, when manufactured, can exhibit varying degrees of opacity, including both translucency and transparency, thereby enabling a diverse variety of applications for insulation in buildings that might require access to daylight or exploit sunlight for energy. Silica aerogel is the material-epicentre of all of the author’s multidisciplinary research. During the interactive presentation we will propose the design of small glass domes entitled Spirited Skies and Heaven in a Glass where silica aerogel was poured into jacketed glass beakers and micro clouds were settled in between the glazing. We suggest that the artificial clouds set on the transparent or translucent shell of these future space domes may relieve astronauts of their nostalgia of Earth, our home planet. With the same intention we also propose for a future space mission to utilise water (or wine) glasses with blue and gold skyscapes in double walled glass utensils.","PeriodicalId":7286,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Automobile Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83091777","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}
