Leaking drum by Jessica Noske-Turner

“…Some projects are implemented in areas to address challenges that are not a priority problem of the local community. As such, all energy, money, and resources go down the drain without any lasting impact because communities do not have any interest.Created in Mangochi District, Malawi, 2024This object is part of the Metaphors for Un/Making CSC Collection.…”

Disturbance rejection of nonlinear boiler–turbine unit using high-order sliding mode observer by Zhi-gang Su, Gang Zhao, Jun Yang, Yi-guo Li

“…It is interesting and challenging to develop advanced controller for industrial boiler-turbine units due to their genuine nonlinearities, serious couplings among state variables, physical constraints imposed on control inputs, and in particular, various types of unknown uncertainties/disturbances. In this paper, a nonlinear disturbance rejection control method is investigated in a composite design manner for an oil-fired drum-type boiler-turbine unit. …”

A finite element analysis of a 'S' cam brake by C. Watson

“…The coupling of pressure and temperature variations combined with frictional changes over the lining produce changes that result in the frictional drag per unit area tending to be reasonably constant over the interface between drum and lining. The predicted values of brake torque and brake factor f rom the three dimensional analyses have been compared with results derived f rom the earlier two dimensional brake analysis and validated by comparison with measured results from a brake mounted on a dynamometer. …”
