An important topic in combustion research today is pollutant emission reduction. With the current demand for large amounts of economical, clean power, there is a need for research in both the increase of combustion performance and the reduction of emissions. Two methods of the so-called ‘passive’ flame controls are the use of premixing the air and fuel and the variation of the geometry of the flame. Both mechanisms offer the promise of increasing efficiency as well as reducing harmful emissions. However, the effect of these controls on the stability of the flame has not been fully studied. This paper will attempt to fill in some of this gap and will study the effects of elliptical burner geometry on premixed flames. The study will present stability results for circular and 4:1 aspect ratio elliptical burner geometry for a range of fuel mixtures of propane and hydrogen. The paper will also report the emission indices of CO and NO of the 40% by mass hydrogen in propane mixture. It was found that the 4:1 aspect ratio burner had reduced blow-out stability, produced a much shorter flame, and, in general, produced more carbon monoxide and less nitric oxide than a circular burner.

The effect of notches on the flow and noise field of jets from circular-slots is experimentally investigated. Three types of slot geometries, namely, semicircular, triangular and square are studied. The results demonstrate that the presence of the notch introduces a slight aspect-ratio in the initial circular-slot geometry so that the notched jet exhibits characteristics, similar to jets exiting from non-circular geometries. At underexpanded condition, additional expansion and compression waves are observed to emanate from the region of notches that modifies the jet development and results in a reduction in the average shock-cell length, which is accompanied by a reduction in far-field shock associated noise. The acoustic spectrum of the radiated shock noise indicates that notch geometry variation strongly alters the acoustic emission characteristics of these jets both in the screech component and broadband shock associated noise.

ABSTRACTCatalyst-free vapor phase transport was applied for the growth of ZnO nanoemitters. A single-crystalline ZnO:Al seed layer was deposited and used as a pseudo-catalyst. The desired morphology of nanostructures can be achieved by means of modifying the growth rates of crystal planes via adjustment in the growth conditions. The field emission characteristics of ZnO nanoemitters satisfied the Fowler-Nordheim relationship. The high aspect ratio of nanoemitters had a low turn-on electric field of 0.18 MV/m at emission current density of 0.1 μA/cm2. A stable electron emission with a variation of less than 14% was measured.

In 38MnVS6 steel, the morphology of sulfide inclusion has a strong influence on the fatigue life and machinability of the steel. In most cases, the MnS inclusions show strip morphology after rolling, which significantly affects the steel quality. Usually, the MnS inclusion with a spherical morphology is the best morphology for the steel quality. In the present work, tellurium was applied to 38MnVS6 micro-alloyed steel to control the MnS inclusion. Trace tellurium was added into 38MnVS6 steel and the effect of Te on the morphology, composition, size and distribution of MnS inclusions were investigated. Experimental results show that with the increase of Te content, the equivalent diameter and the aspect ratio of inclusion decrease strikingly, and the number of inclusions with small aspect ratio increases. The inclusions are dissociated and spherized. The SEM-EDS analysis indicates that the trace Te mainly dissolves in MnS inclusion. Once the MnS is saturated with Te, MnTe starts to generate and wraps MnS. The critical Te/S value for the formation of MnTe in the 38MnV6 steel is determined to be approximately 0.075. With the increase of Te/S ratio, the aspect ratio of MnS inclusion decreases and gradually reaches a constant level. The Te/S value in the 38MnVS6 steel corresponding to the change of aspect ratio from decreasing to constant ranges from 0.096 to 0.255. This is most likely to be caused by the saturation of Te in the MnS inclusion. After adding Te in the steel, rod-like MnS inclusion is modified to small inclusion and the smaller the MnS inclusion, the lower the aspect ratio.

Based on the observation of some teachers found the symptoms as follows: the lack of abilityof Indonesian teachers in designing learning program (RPP), the learning device is only usedas a supplement and not to the needs of teaching, most teachers again if asked the lessonanswered not have or has not been made. The purpose of this research is to improve theability of Indonesian teachers in designing learning program (RPP) at SDN 015 PagaranTapah Darussalam through the method of administration tasks. This type of research is actionresearch school. Subjects in this study were teachers Indonesian as many as 12 people. Basedon the analysis and discussion can be concluded that the method of administration tasks canimprove the ability of Indonesian teachers in making learning device in SDN 015 PagaranTapah Darussalam through the method of administration tasks. Under these conditions, thelevel of acceptance of teachers increased. The aspect ratio capability Indonesian teachers inpreparing lesson plans through the provision of duty cycle I and II of the increase from 56%and the second cycle to 79%.
