Promising early tests for variable-thrust landing engine

As part of ESA's Future Launchers Preparatory Program (FLPP), the first phase of hot-fire tests has been completed on a new, variable-thrust rocket engine in Warsaw, Poland. The engine is being developed by a Polish consortium investigating new designs for propellant valves and injectors that can vary the thrust of rocket engines powered by more sustainable and storable propellants. Such engines have great potential for use in future space missions and reusable rockets.

The new engine is called the Throttleable Liquid Propulsion Demonstrator (TLPD), it is now being dismounted and inspected, with the results being analyzed at the site of prime contractor Łukasiewicz Research Network—Institute of Aviation (Lukasiewicz-ILOT) in Poland, with partners Astronika and Jakusz SpaceTech, before the next phase of testing begins.

Liquid propellants that last

The throttleable engine includes a newly designed fuel injector and control valves. With a thrust of 5kN (compared to the Ariane 6 upper stage engine's thrust of 180 kN), the TLPD engine is perfect for the upper stage of smaller rockets, for in-space vehicles, for launcher kick-stages and exploration missions. The ability to modify its thrust makes it also very interesting for landing spacecraft on Earth, the moon and beyond.

The new rocket engine is powered by storable propellants hydrogen peroxide and ethanol, which are safer and less toxic than others currently in use (such as hydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide). Compared to cryogenic propellants, like liquid oxygen and hydrogen, storable propellants require no active cooling measures and will not diminish between subsequent engine firings.

Rocket engines powered by storable propellants can have long lifetimes in space and are easy to reliably and repeatedly ignite during missions that last many months. Cryogenic propellants also require energy to begin combustion, provided by an "igniter," whereas the TLPD propellants ignite upon contact with each other, making the engine simpler and more reliable. % buffered

At heart: New electronically controlled valves and fuel injector

The main goal of the current throttleable engine project is to test a newly developed system of valves and a movable "pintle" injector—a type of propellant injector used in "bipropellant" rocket engines—all commanded by an electronic control system.

The valves ensure the appropriate rate of propellant flows into the combustion chamber—the higher the rate, the greater the thrust. The fuel injector mixes the two propellants (the ethanol fuel and hydrogen peroxide oxidizer) while they are injected at high pressure into the chamber, maintaining stable combustion as their rate varies coming through the valves. All of this ensures an efficient and controlled combustion process can take place.

Next: Going full throttle

The TLPD engine has been designed to be throttled down to 20% and up to 110% of its optimal level of thrust. Such "deep" throttling, i.e., the ability to really vary the engine's power, is necessary for landing rocket stages on Earth, or spacecraft on the moon or other planetary bodies.

The hot fire tests just completed in Phase A were originally planned to be purely static, testing the engine's ability to fire at a constant rate. The engine was fired 17 times for up to 10 seconds, while the amount of fuel and oxidizer flowing in was kept constant.

The initial results were so promising that teams decided to move onto the next phase earlier than planned—dynamic throttling. The engine was fired up twice again, each time for 15 seconds, during which the thrust was varied down to 20% and up to 80% of its optimal level.

Once the results have been analyzed, the TLPD engine will be remounted and the full scope of planned dynamic tests will begin, with even longer firing durations. This set of tests is expected to start in October and will really put the "throttleability" of the engine to the test.

ESA's Future Launchers Preparatory Program and Lukasiewicz-ILOT are now in discussions about continuing the project, building on these test results and working towards the design of an overall throttleable flight engine.

Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution 

The long history of Mitsubishi and the Paris Dakar Rally meant that in the mid-1990s when it was time to develop the next competition car the pressure was on. It needed to be based on a current production car for homologation purposes, and a road-legal version needed to be offered for sale to the general public. Known as the Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution for obvious reasons, the new vehicle was based on the unibody shell of the second generation Pajero – however it was vastly modified, with new suspension, a wide body kit, skid plates, large mud flaps, with power provided by a 275 bhp 3.5 liter 24 valve DOHC V6 6G74 engine with MIVEC and a dual plenum variable intake.For those unfamiliar with the acronym, MIVEC stands for “Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-Timing Electronic Control” it’s a variable valve timing system that allows different timing for the intake and exhaust valves depending on load, engine speed, and driving conditions.Inside the vehicle you’ll find Recaro seats with larger bolsters than the standard Mitsubishi seats designed to keep the driver and front passenger in place even when enthusiastic off-road driving is undertaken.Other than the seats the interior looks very similar to the standard second generation Pajero, largely due to the fact that this was a low-volume homologation model and so interior parts were kept close to stock to keep costs in check.

Mitsubishi built 2,500 examples of the V55W between 1997 and 1999 for homologation purposes. Most were fitted with the 5-speed automatic transmission (with a dual range transfer case) however some received a 5-speed manual – most other specifications remained largely unchanged over the production run.

The Pajero Evolution model series would become the most successful production-based Dakar rally vehicles ever made – taking 12 victories from 1985 to 2007, even managing a historic 1-2-3 finish in 1998 which cemented its reputation as King of the Desert.

On casual vs competetive game design

I watched this video, it got me thinking a bit and the comment I posted on the video ended up being so long that it would fit here cleaned up a bit and expanded a bit. The video itself makes the very good point that to make a good game you need the lowest possible skill floor with the highest possible skill ceiling.

However.

I think there's a bit of confusion when it comes to terminology and developer intent in the video. The word "casual" here is pretty much exclusively referring to noobs, however the term can also (as is often the case in TF2 discourse) be used to refer to people who play for fun rather than to win, or simply non-e-sport players. "Competitive" on the other hand is used to both mean "highly skilled players" and e-sport. The best highlight of this confused terminology is with the two 343 quotes. When they said the game was "too competitive" they mean that it favored skilled players too much. Later when they say that Halo was always about competitive play they are referring to e-sport. However, in both cases the argument that the developers is actually making has nothing to do with skill expression, it has to do with controlling the experience. The developers believe that they need to control the experience in such a way that new players will have a "good" or "rewarding" experience by simplifying the game to lower the skill floor and giving them cheap easy kills respectively. Also keep in mind that the comment was made at a time when skill-based match making wasn't the norm yet, meaning it was entirely possible for a single player with 1000 hours in the game to stomp lobbies full of new or inexperienced players. Later when arguing in favor of e-sport, they argue against mechanics they can't control, such as physics. This is because in the eyes of the developers e-sports have to be a finely balanced numbers game that can be tweaked so that all variables are perfectly balanced to ensure "fairness". The issue here is that

Concessions made for the sake of maximum retention of new players are neither fun nor fair.

Concessions made in order to keep the game "fair" at a top 1% competitive e-sport level are sterilizing and not fun either.

What these developers fail to realize is that engineered e-sports always fail because of this, just look at what happened to Overwatch, every single change made was made in service of the competitive meta and the result is that everyone hates it and the competitive league died. I think the whole issue stems from the fact that these developers look at games like Counter Strike and League of Legends and try to emulate their sterile, point and click numbers game and apply that mind set to a game formula that simply doesn't work like that.

Ironically making a good game that's fun and has lots of options for creative skill expression can often lead to a game becoming an e-sport despite not being perfectly balanced. Perfect examples of this are Super Smash Bros (Melee being a particularly good example with wave dashes etc.) and Quake and TF2.

TF2 is an especially good example of "competitive vs casual" because the actual competitive e-sport scene for the game has their own rule-set that bans a ton of weapons while reducing the number of players and effectively cutting the game in half as many classes aren't even viable at all (or barely viable) for competitive play. Valve tried and failed (miserably) to bridge the gap between casual and competitive play and the result was a lot of weapons being re-balanced, some deserved, other not, some weapons that used to be completely dominant got nerfed into the ground and became useless, some goofy weapons that were never a problem were nerfed into the ground (RIP caber) and some already fairly well balanced weapons were nerfed into the ground specifically because they'd be overpowered in competitive play. Not that any of that mattered to competitive players as they would continue to enforce the exact same weapon bans and continued with the exact same meta as they always had.

The lesson all devs should learn is to make a fun game and then give the players the freedom to tweak their experience to fit their needs. Should a competitive scene arise it will then sort itself out using weapon bans and other tools you make available to them to adjust the experience to ensure the balance for their e-sport.

As for making a game more accessible to new players it's probably easiest if the game is designed in such a way that low skill players can feel like they're contributing in some way even if they're bad. For FPS games having objectives that aren't just based on K/D ratio does the trick. Anyone can push the payload or stand on a point in TF2 or Overwatch and feel like they are meaningfully contributing to their team regardless of if they have a 0/10 K/D.

A Closer Look at the Mustang EcoBoost: How Does it Achieve High MPG?

The Ford Mustang has been an emblem of American muscle cars for generations, celebrated for its power and performance. However, the introduction of the Mustang EcoBoost MPG brought a remarkable shift to the iconic pony car's legacy by placing a significant emphasis on fuel efficiency. In this article, we will take a closer look at the Mustang EcoBoost and uncover the secrets of how it achieves high miles per gallon (MPG) without sacrificing its exhilarating driving experience.

The Turbocharged Heart of the Mustang EcoBoost

At the heart of the Mustang EcoBoost's impressive fuel efficiency is its innovative 2.3-liter inline-four-cylinder engine. Unlike the traditional V8 engines that have dominated the Mustang lineup, the EcoBoost boasts a turbocharged powerplant. Here's how this turbocharged engine contributes to high MPG:

Turbocharging and Direct Injection

The turbocharger is a small but powerful device that compresses the air entering the engine, allowing more air to be forced into the combustion chamber. This process, known as forced induction, significantly increases the engine's efficiency by providing more oxygen for combustion. Coupled with direct fuel injection, where fuel is sprayed directly into the combustion chamber, the Mustang EcoBoost's engine can produce more power from less fuel.

Smaller Displacement, Better Efficiency

The smaller displacement of the four-cylinder engine means less internal friction and energy loss compared to larger V8 engines. Smaller engines inherently require less fuel to operate, and this plays a pivotal role in achieving high MPG. The Mustang EcoBoost's engine achieves a fine balance between power and efficiency.

Variable Valve Timing

The EcoBoost engine features advanced variable valve timing, allowing it to optimize the timing of intake and exhaust valve openings. This technology ensures that the engine operates at peak efficiency across a wide range of speeds and loads. It adapts to driving conditions to provide both power and fuel savings.

Aerodynamic Efficiency

Another key factor contributing to the Mustang EcoBoost's high MPG is its aerodynamic design. While the Mustang is celebrated for its classic styling, Ford engineers have incorporated modern aerodynamic elements to enhance efficiency:

Sleek Body Profile

The Mustang EcoBoost features a sleek body profile designed to minimize wind resistance. This streamlined shape helps the car cut through the air more efficiently, reducing the energy required to maintain speed. This is especially beneficial during highway driving, where the Mustang can achieve optimal fuel economy.

Active Grille Shutters

The Mustang EcoBoost incorporates active grille shutters that automatically open and close to control airflow to the engine. When additional cooling is not required, these shutters close to reduce drag, making the vehicle more aerodynamic. When more cooling is needed, such as during intense acceleration, the shutters open to provide maximum airflow.

Technological Advancements

The Mustang EcoBoost is not only about its engine and design; it also leverages advanced technologies to further improve fuel efficiency:

Start-Stop System

The Mustang EcoBoost is equipped with a start-stop system that automatically shuts off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarts it when you release the brake pedal. This feature eliminates unnecessary idling, saving fuel in city traffic and stop-and-go situations.

Driving Modes

The Mustang EcoBoost offers different driving modes, including an "Eco" mode. In this mode, the engine and transmission are adjusted to prioritize fuel efficiency. While it may reduce the car's responsiveness slightly, it's a valuable tool for conserving fuel on long drives or in heavy traffic.

Lightweight Materials

To further enhance fuel efficiency, the Mustang EcoBoost incorporates lightweight materials in its construction. Components like aluminum are used to reduce overall weight without compromising structural integrity. A lighter vehicle requires less energy to accelerate and maintain speed, thus improving MPG.

Conclusion

The Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a remarkable evolution of the iconic muscle car, combining power and performance with a focus on fuel efficiency. The innovative turbocharged engine, aerodynamic design, and advanced technologies work in harmony to deliver impressive MPG figures. The Mustang EcoBoost demonstrates that performance and fuel efficiency can coexist, setting new standards for the sports car category. As we move towards a more environmentally conscious future, the Mustang EcoBoost showcases the adaptability and sustainability of a legendary American classic.

Yamaha Celebrates 25th Anniversary of the Revolutionary R1

Yamaha Motor Europe is proud to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the ground-breaking R1 with dedicated activities planned at the Yamaha Racing Experience (YRE). This year the YRE will be held at the legendary Mugello Circuit in Italy on the 21st and 22nd of July and will bring together some of Yamaha's biggest stars and enthusiasts to honour the remarkable legacy of the iconic machine. Since its launch, the Yamaha R1 has redefined standards of performance and innovation in the industry. Its 25-year journey of evolution is a testament to Yamaha's dedication to engineering excellence, which cemented the R1 as an icon of speed, power, and cutting-edge technology that revolutionised the sports bike market. Making its grand entrance in 1998, at the core of the R1 was an innovative, compact, and lightweight 998cc, liquid-cooled, 20-valve, double overhead camshaft, four-cylinder engine which featured a five-valve-per-cylinder head with redesigned valve sizes to boost torque and improved porting. However, the real game-changer came from Project Leader Kunihiko Miwa's ingenious decision to create the world's first vertically stacked gearbox in a production motorcycle, which resulted in a lighter, shorter engine that allowed for a longer swing arm, enhancing traction while maintaining a conventional sports bike wheelbase. In addition to its innovative powertrain, the 1998 R1 introduced an all-new aluminium Deltabox II chassis, a heavily braced alloy swingarm, a Yamaha Monoshock shock absorber, and upside-down 41mm fully adjustable front forks developed in collaboration with Öhlins. This Grand Prix-inspired compact chassis and suspension setup offered unrivalled handling and manoeuvrability, setting a new benchmark for modern sports bikes, with the R1 producing an astonishing 150PS while weighing only 177 kg. The R1's racing success was equally remarkable. At the prestigious Isle of Man TT, the bike made history in 1999 when David Jefferies stormed to the TT Formula One victory, in the process setting a record 121,235 mph lap, before going on to win the Senior race and the Production TT, confirming the R1’s racing pedigree to the world. As Yamaha continued to refine and improve the R1, the 2000 model was launched with revisions to over 250 parts, including engine and chassis enhancements, more aerodynamic bodywork, and a new titanium muffler. Two years later, in 2002, Yamaha introduced the next generation of R1, led by Project Leader Yoshikazu Koike, which showcased a groundbreaking vacuum-controlled fuel injection system that provided refined power output and a new Deltabox III frame which was lighter and yet 30% stronger in torsional rigidity. The year 2004 marked the arrival of the fourth generation R1 featuring new engine with larger bore and shorter stroke and closed-deck cylinder design, as well as fracture-split (FS) connecting rods, RAM-air intake, new under-seat exhausts, revised chassis geometry and a sharpened body design. For the first time a production motorcycle was achieving the 1:1 power to weight ratio, thanks to the 180PS delivered by the completely new power train. The R1 that was unveiled in 2007 boasted Yamaha's innovative YCC-T ride-by-wire throttle system and electronically controlled variable air intake funnels (YCC-I). Project Leader Makato Shimamoto also introduced a new four-valve design motor, slipper clutch,  an improved Deltabox frame as well as improved brakes and suspension. Building on its legacy, Yamaha launched the next generation R1 in 2009, featuring a ground-breaking crossplane crankshaft engine, directly derived from Yamaha’s MotoGP M1. This unique design reduced inertia forces and delivered a more linear throttle connection.  Next to that, Development Leader Toyoshi Nishida introduced twin fuel injectors, a new lightweight aluminium Deltabox frame, cast magnesium subframe and cutting-edge electronics. This model set the standard for handling and performance in the world of racing in 2009, highlighted by the incredible performance of American Ben Spies in WorldSBK, with the rookie recording 14 wins in 28 races to claim the 2009 title. Reinforcing the competitiveness of the R1 that year, the YART Yamaha EWC team was crowned Endurance World Champions, while Leon Camier won 19 out of 26 races on his way to lifting the British Superbike Championship, and Katsuyuki Nakasuga clinched his first Japanese Superbike Championship title. Constantly looking to innovate, the 2012 R1 incorporated a traction control system that adjusted ignition timing, fuel delivery, and throttle opening to maintain optimal traction, enhancing drivability and fuel consumption. To mark another ground-breaking step, the 2015 R1 was launched with a powerful 200PS engine and was the first production motorcycle equipped with a six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and electronic support systems – developed and proven in MotoGP. With a dry weight of 179 kg and a host of racing features the 2015 R1 has been a sensation. Project Chief Hideki Fujiwara also introduced the top-of-the-line, limited edition R1M which featured electronically controlled suspension, a lightweight carbon-fibre cowl, and an onboard data logger to cater to the needs of serious racing and track day devotees. The 2018 R1 model offered riders an even more extensive array of sophisticated electronics, and the addition of a Quick Shift System (QSS) with a blipper function for clutchless up and downshifting took the R1 and R1M’s performance on the street and track to the next level. The R1’s handling performance was refined with more progressive mapping on the Lift Control System as well as revised suspension settings – and the Öhlins Electronic Racing Suspension on the R1M featured a revised interface for a more intuitive set-up. For 2020, the R1 featured a CP4 engine  with new cylinder head, camshafts and injection system – while the extensive electronic rider aids were refined to ensure even higher levels of controllability. A new EBM (Engine Brake Management) enabled the rider to select one of three different engine braking forces to match riding conditions – and the new Brake Control (BC) system gave added confidence and control when cornering. With revised damping valves and a reduced spring rate, the R1’s 43mm KYB forks provided increased feedback for a more natural handling feeling. And for improved chassis performance and reduced lap times the R1M was equipped with a new rear shock and uprated Öhlins ERS NPX gas pressurised forks. Over recent years, the R1 and R1M have continued to evolve and remain a dominant force on the racing scene, with Pata Yamaha Prometeon Official WorldSBK Team’s Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Andrea Locatelli leading the charge in the FIM Superbike World Championship. The highlight of which was Razgatlıoğlu’s 2021 WorldSBK Championship winning season that saw the Turkish rider rack up 13 race wins and 16 further podiums on his way to the title, while Italian Locatelli has grown from strength-to-strength on the R1 and has 11 podiums to his name so far. On top of this, the R1 has demonstrated its prowess all over the world, with the Yamaha Factory Racing Team winning the historic Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race four times in a row between 2015-2018, plus Cameron Beaubier (2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020) and Jake Gagne (2021, 2022) securing seven of the last eight AMA Superbike titles. In 2021, Nakasuga would lift an incredible tenth Japanese Superbike Championship, with Tommy Hill (2011), Josh Brookes (2015), Tarran Mackenzie (2021), and Bradley Ray (2022) all being crowned British Superbike Champions on the R1. As the legacy of the R1 continues to grow, Yamaha remains committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation with the introduction of the R1 GYTR. GYTR (Genuine Yamaha Technology Racing) is Yamaha’s in-house specialist racing component division that has been developing performance enhancing technology for over 40 years. Designed specifically for track-day riders and racers who recognise Yamaha’s winning performance and premium quality, the 2023 R1 GYTR is faster and more precise than ever. Manufactured to comply with FIM Stock 1000 regulations, this high-specification machine provides individuals and teams with the ultimate canvas to create their own unique superbike. The R1 GYTR is equipped with over 25 GYTR race specification components including an Akrapovic race exhaust system,  racing ECU, wiring harness, GYTR chassis parts, drive system and complete race cowling in primer white – plus much more. The R1 GYTR is available exclusively from GYTR PRO SHOPS. To mark such a momentous anniversary, the Yamaha Racing Experience at Mugello will host the celebration activities for the R1, with the Tuscany circuit, renowned for its fast and challenging track layout that makes it a favourite among riders and fans alike, providing the perfect setting to honour such an incredible machine. Usually the event is exclusive to R1M customers, however the 2023 YRE will be open for the first time to R1 owners to mark this momentous occasion, with two different options available to them to attend.

Selection and Application of Liquid Flowmeter

Reading guide: The liquid volume flowmeter consists of a chamber with a known volume and moving parts. The liquid passing through the flow is calculated by determining the volume of the container and the number of movements of the moving parts. According to the characteristics of liquid volume flowmeter, it can be divided into the following types: waist wheel flowmeter, oval gear flowmeter, scraper flowmeter, double rotor flowmeter, reciprocating piston flowmeter, rotary piston flowmeter, screw flowmeter, etc. Structure and principle of the liquid volumetric flowmeter calibration device The liquid accumulation calibration device consists of the quick connector, hydraulic hose, hydraulic filter, standard flowmeter, temperature transformer, pressure transformer, computer system, hydraulic source, etc. The hydraulic oil source also includes a hydraulic oil tank, variable frequency motor, hydraulic variable pump, hydraulic safety valve, and other components. The main features are compact installation, easy use, the same calibration medium, strong movement ability, and the ability to provide hydraulic oil. The working mode of the liquid flow controller is as follows: match through quick connection and replacement, and lead the hydraulic hose into the displaced liquid flow controller calibration device; The hydraulic power converter of the investment department generates clean and stable liquid flow through the hydraulic pump, hydraulic filter, etc. Capture the cumulative flow value determined by the computer system using the calibrated flowmeter and the standard flowmeter, and capture the temperature and pressure on the calibrated flowmeter and the standard flowmeter; The measured value error of calibrated flow is determined by the computer software system. Main characteristics and application of common liquid flowmeter Volumetric flowmeter Volumetric flow meters (also called volume-specific flow values) are general-purpose instruments with the highest accuracy. The measured components can also be divided into the following main features: pitch circle (two rotors), plate flow measurement, oval gear flow measurement, rotary piston flow measurement, circulation flow measurement, etc.

① Advantages: high measurement accuracy; It can be used for measuring high viscosity fluid and simple phase fluid; The instrument does not need external energy to directly record the total flow. It is easy to install without special requirements for front and rear tangent lines. ② Disadvantages: not suitable for high temperature and low temperature; Type of measuring center with limited diameter; Pressure drop; Periodic calibration is required. ③ Application: Volume traffic signs, due to their high-precision measurement in energy, petroleum, medicine, food, chemistry, and other fields, especially raw materials and other fields, must be measured for storage, transfer, and distribution, and used as the basis for a financial settlement, or as a legal indicator of the contract between two tax dealers.

Differential The differential is one of the most commonly used flowmeter types, which can be divided into diverter flowmeter, Venturi flowmeter, average line current, etc. according to the test piece (inlet instrument). The main features are: ① Advantages: single-phase fluid has a wide range of measurement methods, some mixed fluids; Simple structure, easy maintenance, the long service life of control components and detonators, display equipment produced by different manufacturers, improving economies of scale. ② Disadvantages: general customization accuracy; Large pressure loss (orifice plate, nozzle, etc.) The assembly constraint shall be high, and there shall be enough straight pipelines before and after assembly. ③ Nozzle: When measuring the flow in the closed pipe for the first time, the differential can be used for projects under different conditions where the flow is about 1/4-1/3 of the total flow. Ultrasonic assistance The ultrasonic flowmeter can be generally divided into plug-in type, pipe section type, external clamp type, and portable type. ① Advantages: large diameter non-contact measurement, large flow calculation; Pressure loss, no fluid disturbance; Suitable for every liquid, easy to install and maintain. ② Disadvantages: When the measured liquid contains bubbles or noise, the measurement accuracy will be affected; The temperature range of the measured liquid is limited by the heat of the ultrasonic protection and the communication materials between the switch and the line, and the original data for measuring the high temperature of the liquid is incomplete. ③ Application: Ultrasonic velocimeter is often used in petroleum, chemistry, metal, electric power, and other fields, and is often used to measure the emission reduction of gas pipelines in factories, fluids, and work areas.

Turbine speed Intel Remax accelerated technology plan has been expanded to multiple categories in mass production, and its main features are as follows: ① High precision, usually ± 0.25% r - ± 0.5% r, up to ± 0.25% r - ± 0.5% r; Repeat at most 0.05% r-0.2% r for a short time; Zero contact movement, sturdy and durable. ② Disadvantages: The physical characteristics of the liquid have a great influence on the flow characteristics; Calibration characteristics cannot be saved for a long time. ③ Application. A turbine flow counter is usually used to measure oil, organic liquid, inorganic liquid, and liquid frozen body. The first terminal of the main raw material pipeline is used for commercial calculation of automobile exhaust, gas stations, and light hydropower plants.

Vortex flowmeter The vortex flowmeter is the latest flowmeter, but it has developed rapidly and has become a common category. Its main characteristics are as follows. ① Advantages: wide application range, liquid, gas, and steam flow measurement can be used; Small pressure loss; Easy installation, simple and durable structure. ② Disadvantages: poor anti-interference ability; Straight pipe section is required before and after installation; The application experience in pulsating flow and multiphase flow is still lacking. ③ Application: Vortex flowmeter has a wide range of applications, usually used in the factory water supply system, and its application will be limited in the case of high viscosity, low flow rate, and small diameter.

General criteria for flowmeter selection and calibration device Determine the technical requirements for flow measurement and the correctness of the flowmeter, that is, the accuracy requirements for measuring liquid; The flow measurement is repeated, that is, the same measurement is performed multiple times under specific conditions to repeat the same measurement. The expression of flow measurement, that is, whether the flow is mass flow or flow, real-time flow, or cumulative flow. Command and remove the transmission function if necessary. Specifies whether the flow measurement is displayed as a mechanical or electronic title. If the flowmeter does not meet the technical requirements of the measured liquid, measurement errors may also occur.

For the description of the flow calibration liquid calibration device, according to the flow requirements in jgg667-2010: ① The expanded uncertainty of the standard setting should generally not exceed 1/3 of the maximum allowable flow, because the expanded rate of the calibration device is 0.22%.

② Output or. The input line in the equipment used for online identification shall not include redirection between the flowmeter and the equipment designed as a locked cabinet without intermediate circuit. ③ "When the flowmeter is greater than 1.0, the flowmeter and liquid temperature must be measured according to the standard, and the temperature and pressure shall be measured near the standard flowmeter or calibrated flowmeter. Therefore, the liquid flow controller is applicable to the acceptance accuracy standard of Class 1.0 (allowable deviation ± 1.0%) and subsequent fluid calculation.

Conclusion In the process of liquid flow measurement, a liquid flowmeter is a major measuring tool and has been widely used in metallurgy, pharmacy, paper making, water conservancy, environmental protection, petrochemical, and other fields. In the actual online calibration process, the standard volume method, the standard meter method, and the electrical parameter method are all feasible online calibration methods. However, they all have different use conditions, which requires the staff to constantly summarize and analyze the use of online calibration methods for liquid flow meters, so that the calibration methods can be improved.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GT-A Wagon 

I don't know about you, but when I think of a wagon, I normally think of a car that's had the thrill factor turned down a notch or two. Not here. The Lancer Evolution Wagon is a fully-blown Evo in every detail. Dropped onto the same four-wheel- drive platform as the Evo IX, this luggage-lugger is about as extreme as they come.

Outside, it's no raving beauty with its Volvo-esque rear end grafted onto the chunky, sharp-edged Evo front. Inside the story's much the same. Except for the leather-wrapped gear-shifter and three-spoke steering wheel, and the supportive Recaro seats, bland grey plastic is the order of the day. Fortunately, when you fire up that 2-litre turbo it all starts to get rather more interesting.

The Wagon gets the same turbocharged 2-litre engine that debuted in the Evo IX saloon, complete with its sophisticated MIVEC variable valve timing system, but uniquely has the option of an automatic transmission to supplement the standard and excellent six-speed manual.

Bottom-end torque response is beefy and comes on hot and strong from 2500rpm, while at the top-end you can enjoy a deluge of free-flowing revs. That's the beauty of the MIVEC system, in that it allows you ready access to the considerable all that the engine has to give, but if you're stuck in slow-moving city traffic it gives you the luxury of shunt-free progress. The six-speed manual has deliciously short throws and is ideally matched to the engine's torque curve. So how fast is the Evo Wagon? Around Japan's most popular race track, the 2.1km-long Tsukuba Circuit near Tokyo, it clocked an impressive 1min 7sec, a mere one second off the pace of its booted brother. Just like the saloon, the Evo Wagon employs MacPherson struts on the front and a multi-link on the rear with the same rally-bred body rigidity and Bilstein dampers added for good measure. And just like the saloon, the Wagon feels rock-solid in the corners with minimum body-roll, while the ride quality is noticeably better and more compliant than that of the Evo currently on sale in Europe.

But while the Wagon inherits the four-door's Active Centre Differential (ACD) with the three-way Tarmac/Gravel/Snow control, it doesn't get the Evo IX's highly-rated Super Active Yaw Control (AYC). One Mitsubishi engineer suggested that price was the probable reason for its omission, but this car doesn't really need it. With its squared-off and heightened rear bodywork the wagon hauls an extra 70kg over the rear wheels, which works to improve the car's front to rear weight distribution.

Throw it into a corner and the Wagon turns in fast as the extra kilos at the rear get the tail moving and the nose turned-in, while the front-mounted helical LSD and ACD keep the nose in check. At the limits of adhesion, either understeer or oversteer is there for the taking. With no AYC to get in the way of a good slide, and the extra rear weight making it easier to provoke rear-end breakaway, the Wagon can be chucked into prolonged power-slides all day long. And unlike the four-door, which 'floats' its rear inside tyre in tight, fast corners, you can actually feel all four tyres (Yokohama Advan AO46s) in contact with the road, even through the quick corners.

The Evo IX Wagon was without doubt the fastest- cornering wagon on the planet (at least until new versions of the Audi RS6 and RS4 Avants arrived to challenge its supremacy). But as Mitsubishi maked only 2500 Wagons, none officially destined for export.
