PublikacjaThe article presents the results of the investigation on the performance of a small counter-rotating wind turbine. The wind turbine has been simulated using Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. Actuator Line Model has been successfully used to represent rotors in the computational domain. A parametric study has been carried out, taking into account changes in the tip speed ratio of the rotors while maintaining a constant distance...

Performance of acicular grindable thermocouples for temperature measurements at sliding contacts
PublikacjaThe present study investigates the performance of acicular grindable thermocouples based on a constantan wire / steel hollow cylinder construction. The experiments showed that the measuring junction electrical resistance, temperature–voltage characteristic, measuring junction rise time and signal noise standard deviation of the acicular thermocouples are comparable to those of conventional J-type thermocouples with bare wire diameter...

A Centralized Reputation System for MANETs Based on Observed Path Performance
PublikacjaA reputation system for MANETs is described that attempts to deduce nodal trustworthiness (forwarding behaviour) from observed end-to-end path performance. The trustworthiness deduction algorithm produces interval estimates and works well if node misbehaviour is not selec-tive with respect to traversing paths. Nodal reputation levels are next calculated in the spirit of generous tit-for-tat so as to best reflect momentary nodal...

Performance and Power-Aware Modeling of MPI Applications for Cluster Computing
PublikacjaThe paper presents modeling of performance and power consumption when running parallel applications on modern cluster-based systems. The model includes basic so-called blocks representing either computations or communication. The latter includes both point-to-point and collective communication. Real measurements were performed using MPI applications and routines run on three different clusters with both Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet...

Running performance of an aerodynamic journal bearing with squeeze film effect
PublikacjaResults of theoretical and experimental studies concerning the performance of an aerodynamic journal bearing of which running is assisted by squeeze film ultrasonic levitation (SFUL) are presented in this paper. The SFUL mechanism not only can separate journal from the bearing at the start and stop phases of operation but also can significantly contribute to the dynamic stability of the bearing when it runs at speed. Computer calculations...

Performance of microbial fuel cells operated under anoxic conditions
PublikacjaNowadays, microbial fuel cells (MFC) stand up as a promising renewable energy source. Due to the ability of the MFC to oxidize a wide spectrum of substrates, wastewater seems to be one of the most interesting fuels. Unfortunately, wastewater could contain electron acceptors such as nitrate, which could interfere with the electrical performance of the MFC. In this work, the influence of oxidised nitrogen forms on the electricity...

Call Processing Performance in a Multidomain IMS/NGN with Asymmetric Traffic
PublikacjaIn this paper we continue our research using the previously proposed analytical traffic model of a multidomain Next Generation Network (NGN), which is standardized for delivering multimedia services based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The aim of the model is to assess mean Call Set-up Delay (CSD) and mean Call Disengagement Delay (CDD), which are standardized call processing performance parameters. The output variables...

Effect of interlayer bonding quality of asphalt layers on pavement performance
PublikacjaThe quality of interlayer bonding at the interfaces between the asphalt layers in flexible pavements affects the overall pavement performance. Lack or partial lack of interlayer bonding between asphalt layers can cause pavement's premature failures such as rutting, slippage of the wearing course, cracking or simply a reduction in the calculated fatigue life of the pavement structure. This paper shows the case studies of investigation...

AC motor feeding cable consequences on EMC performance of ASD
PublikacjaHigh level of conducted EMI emissions of adjustable speed drives (ASD) is one of the most difficult problems in contemporary applications. Many investigations are carried out in order to find more effective methods allowing to predict this emission at early stage of design, and therefore to predict adequate countermeasures. This paper deals with the method which allows to estimate by simulation the influence of motor feeding cable...
