Abstract: This paper is focusing on designing a control system
for wind turbine which can control the speed and output power
according to arbitrary algorithm. Reference Tracking Method is used
to control the turbine spinning speed in order to increase its output
energy.
Abstract: ZnS nanoparticles of different size have been
synthesized using a colloidal particles method. Zns nanoparticles
prepared with capping agent (mercaptoethanol) then were
characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis
spectroscopy. The particle size of the nanoparticles calculated from
the XRD patterns has been found in the range 1.85-2.44nm.
Absorption spectra have been obtained using UV-Vis
spectrophotometer to find the optical band gap and the obtained
values have been founded to being range 3.83-4.59eV. It was also
found that energy band gap increase with the increase in molar
capping agent solution.
Abstract: Horizontal continuous casting is widely used to
produce semi-finished non-Ferrous products. Homogeneity in the
metallurgical characteristics and mechanical properties for this
product is vital for industrial application. In the present work, the
microstructure and mechanical properties of a horizontal continuous
cast two-phase brass billet have been studied. Impact strength and
hardness variations were examined and the phase composition and
porosity studied with image analysis software. Distinct differences in
mechanical properties were observed between the upper, middle and
lower parts of the billet, which are explained in terms of the
morphology and size of the phase in the microstructure. Hardness
variation in the length of billet is higher in upper area but impact
strength is higher in lower areas.
