Investigation on Gas-Soot Flow Distribution Characteristic of Soot Capture Process in the Wall-Flow Diesel Particulate Filter by Jianyu Li, Chunping Lu, Dongli Tan

“…The obtained results showed that the static pressure gradient along the radial distribution was greater at the inlet of the filter in capture process in the diesel particulate filter, which could easily lead to causing eventual fatigue damage due to stress concentration in the front-end of filter; moreover, the weaker the vortex strength of gas-particle formed in expansion pipe was, the better uniformity of flow velocity and soot concentration distribution were. …”

Impact of DG Configuration on Maximum Use of Load Supply Capability in Distribution Power Systems by Hong Liu, Yinchang Guo, Shaoyun Ge, Mingxin Zhao

“…Traditional distributed generators (DGs) planning methods take network loss minimization as the main objective to optimize DG sites in feeders. The use of load supply capability (LSC) in DG planning will precisely answer the questions how many DGs should be integrated, which transformer they should be connected to, and which type of DGs should be adopted. …”

OUTSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR PANORAMIC CAMERA POSITION ON THE AERODYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPACT STUDY by TONG GaoPeng, GAN Wei, LI ZhiWei, LIN Hui, WANG ZhiFeng

“…In order to reduce the influence of the panorama camera on the aerodynamic noise of the vehicle,the exterior flow field and sound field analysis are carried out on the rearview mirror of three different lens placement positions.The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental data,which verifies the reliability of the numerical simulation.At the same time,it is found that the different position of the panoramic lens has an influence on the air flow which through the exterior mirrors,thus changing the rear flow field and the front window noise radiation intensity.Scheme Ⅲ is compared with other schemes,the tail vortex,the turbulence kinetic energy and the noise emission of the front window are relatively weaker,which can reduce the aerodynamic noise.Finally,by comparing the noise test of three kinds of schemes,it is found that the noise of scheme Ⅲ is lower than that of other schemes,which verifies the correctness of the analysis method.The analysis results provides the guidance for the reasonable arrangement of the rearview mirror panorama image lens,and is favorable for improving the comfort of the driver.…”

Double logarithms in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ ≥ 4 supergravity: weak gravity and Shapiro’s time delay by Agustín Sabio Vera

“…Working in impact parameter representation, ρ, it is shown that the resummation of double logarithms makes gravity weaker in regions of small ρ and large s. This screening of the gravitational interaction at short distances in the double logarithmic sector of the amplitudes is more acute as the number of gravitinos in the theory increases. …”
