DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTIC ANALYSIS OF THE MULTI-STAGE CENTRIFUGAL PUMP ROTOR SYSTEM WITH UNCERTAIN SLIDING BEARING STRUCTURAL PARAMETERS

Dynamic Characteristic Analysis of the Multi-Stage Centrifugal Pump Rotor System with Uncertain Sliding Bearing Structural Parameters

The traditional dynamic characteristic analysis of the multi-stage centrifugal pump rotor system is developed assuming the bearing structural parameters with constant values.However, the manufacturing errors will cause the structural parameters to vary around their nominal values and then affect the dynamic characteristics of the bearing-rotor syst

Commercial Bio-Packaging to Preserve the Quality and Extend the Shelf-Life of Vegetables: The Case-Study of Pumpkin Samples Studied by a Multimethodological Approach

A multidisciplinary protocol is proposed to monitor the preservation of fresh pumpkin samples (FP) using three commercial polymeric films: A made of biodegradable cellophane from regenerated cellulose pulp; B from corn starch, cassava and eucalyptus, C made of polylactic acid from corn starch, and a polyethylene film used as reference (REF).Chemica
