This configuration allows a complete separation piston motion, and then the second part of the cycle starts by between the displacer, where the heat exchange occurs, and the expanding the air and ejecting it from the assembly chamber. expansion chamber where the power piston is located [2].

Zacatenco, M´exico D.F. 07738, M´exico Abstract The cycle-by-cycle variations in heat release for a simulated spark-ignited engine are analyzed within a turbulent combustion model in terms of some basic parameters: the characteristic length of the unburned eddies entrained within the flame front, a arXiv:1005.5410v1 [physics.class-ph] 28 May 2010 characteristic turbulent speed, and the location of the ignition kernel. The evolution of the simulated time series with the fuel-air equivalence ratio, φ, from lean mixtures to over stoichiometric conditions, is examined and compared with previous experi- ments. Fluctuations on the characteristic length of unburned eddies are found to be essential to simulate heat release cycle-to-cycle variations and recover experimental results. Relative to the non-linear analysis of the system, it is remarkable that at fuel ratios around φ ' 0:65, embedding and surrogate procedures show that the dimensionality of the system is small.

  • The Earliest Locomotives and Railways
    The Earl i est Rai l ways The first railroads in Britain were in the 18th century coal mines, where horses pulled mine carts from the pits to the factories along wooden tracks. Later, in 1807, the first railway to carry passengers was opened. It was called the Oystermouth Railway and horses pulled carriages along tracks from Swansea to Oystermouth in South Wales. The Earl i est Rai l ways Thomas Saver y Thomas Savery (1650 – 1715) invented and made one of the f irst ever st eam engines in 1698. This engine was used to pump water out of the coal mines, but unfortunately it had a number of problems and did not work as well as everyone hoped. However, t his early st eam engine design helped other engineers and inventors to develop more successful engines in the future.

  • Names in Multi-Lingual
    Richard Coates, England 209 A Natural History of Proper Naming in the Context of Emerging Mass Production: The Case of British Railway Locomotives before 1846 Richard Coates England Abstract The early history of railway locomotives in Britain is marked by two striking facts. The first is that many were given proper names, even where there was no objective need to distinguish them in such a way. The second is that those names tended strongly to suggest essential attributes of the machines themselves, sometimes real as in the case of Puffing Billy, or metaphorical or mythologized as in the cases of Rocket and Vulcan. However when, before long, locomotives came to be produced to standard types, namegiving remained the norm for at least some types but the names themselves tended to be typed, and naturally in a less constrained way than earlier ones. The later onymic types veered sharply away from being literally or metaphorically descriptive. The sources of these second-order onymic types are of some interest, both culturally and anthropologically, and some types tended to be of very long currency in Britain. This paper explores the early history of namegiving in an underexplored area, and proposes a general model for the evolution of name-bestowal practices. *** In this paper, I offer an analysis of the names given to steam railway locomotives in Britain between the creation of the first such machine in 1803–4 and the year 1846, chosen semi- arbitrarily as the cut-off date because of the introduction in 1845–6 of the innovative engines designed by Thomas Crampton.
