Effect of Injector Needle Tip Shape on Jet Flow for Pelton Turbine by Chun Zhang, Chao Wang, Qianhe Tian, Quanwei Liang, Yilin Zhu, Yexiang Xiao, Yong Bai, Zhaoning Wang, Hengte Zhou, Xianwu Luo

“…Results show that the needle tip shape almost does not affect the flow rate; when the tip breakage loss is larger than 0.1 of nozzle diameter, the jet efficiency will decrease rapidly and the jet will diffuse rapidly after outflow from the injector. The investigation provides a basis for the operation, maintenance and stability of the Pelton turbine.…”

Poesia em tempos de crise: uma leitura de Golpe: antologia-manifesto by Marcelo Ferraz de Paula

“…Acontecimientos históricos como las Jornadas de Junio, en 2013, el convulso proceso de destitución de Dilma Rousseff, en 2016, y el triunfo electoral de la extrema derecha, en 2018, tuvieron resonancias en el campo cultural, trayendo a la producción poética un deseo de participación en el debate público — un interés que parecía mitigado en décadas anteriores. La discusión de este fenómeno se particulariza en este trabajo a través de una lectura panorámica de Golpe: antología-manifiesto, buscando considerar marcas relevantes de la obra, como el trabajo colectivo, la ausencia de un programa estético orientador y el carácter eminentemente testimonial de los poemas del libro.…”
