The Effects of Pilot Structure on the Lean Ignition Characteristics of the Internally Staged Combustor by Zhengyan Guo, Yan Lu, Jingtao Yuan, Pimin Chen, Qibin Zhang, Wei Fan

“…Under the typical working conditions (the air mass flow rate is 46.7 g/s and the ignition energy is 4 J), for a pilot swirler with a rotating direction opposite to the main swirler, the diameter of the auxiliary fuel nozzles is 0.2 mm, the swirl number of first-stage of pilot swirler is 1.4, and the lean ignition fuel–air ratio was reduced to 0.0121, which is 32.78% lower than the baseline scheme, which further broadens the lean ignition boundary of the centrally staged combustion chamber.…”

La flecha y la trampa. Figuras de la finitud en un discurso fúnebre de Kierkegaard by Rodrigo Figueroa Weitzman, Jorge Mittelmann

“…Se defiende la tesis que la posición original elaborada en este escrito a la vez (i) se inspira en el célebre argumento de Epicuro contra el temor a la muerte y (ii) refuta ese argumento mediante consideraciones que no invalidan su estructura deductiva, pero ponen de manifiesto su insuficiencia fenomenológica. El elemento central de esa refutación consiste en habilitar un modo de referencia al morir por medio del cual dicho acontecimiento se vuelve coextensivo a la existencia como un todo y abandona su locación temporal hipotética o remota. …”
