Abstract:

In the context of manufacturing and servicing shutdown for the gas turbines that presently equip Romanian Naval Forces Fast Patrol Boats (Missile), their replacement is imposed, with high performance, more reliable, newer generation of gas turbines. For this purpose, the consortium has identified for implementation the solution of replacement the propulsion systems that equip the three Fast Patrol Boats (Missile), with ST40M gas turbine propulsion groups, thus leading to performance improvement, especially gas turbines efficiency, and also reducing operating and maintenance costs, for the three Fast Patrol Boats (Missile). Maintenance operations will be conducted in Romania on the entire product lifecycle. This solution does not imply ship structure modifications. ST40M gas turbines insertion and extraction in the cruise and power (high speed) modules will be achieved on the same paths as the old gas turbines, using specially designed tools, devices and checkers. ST40M gas turbine ship installation is achieved through adaptations, in order to use the same fixing points on the ship structure. The supply of fuel, lubricants and air is achieved using the on board, existent installations, only requiring ship-gas turbine adaptations. The ST40M gas turbine command and control system will be entirely new, designed and manufactured by Romanian Research and Development Institute for Gas Turbines COMOTI, from state-of-the-art equipment systems, using high performance process computers. Tests performed on the new propulsion demonstrator group (cruise and power) will be conducted both on project coordinator test bench and ship: yard (harbor) and sea trials. A technical product documentation will be elaborated (technical description manual, illustrated part catalog, maintenance and operation manual, etc.) and naval personnel instruction will be accomplished.

Abstract:

A visual detector array is proposed as an indicator for the microwave field in the environment in order to reveal the electromagnetic field to make the users of an wireless device aware of the existence of microwave power level, for optimizing the wireless communications, or to use it in the processes of wireless charging or recovering and conversion of the electromagnetic environmental pollution.The detector addresses the frequencies spectrum generated by everyday use devices currently available on the market as: : wireless LAN routers, wireless personal computer accessories, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices, phone cells, scanning systems in cargo warehouses, etc

Abstract:

A new experimental device is proposed to improve the thermal uniformity during food processing in microwave (MW) commercial ovens. The device is based on a specifically designed MW photonic crystal, acting as a homogenizer of the MW field distribution into the volume of processed food.

The research proposal refers to the field of MW heating devices and, more particularly, to heating/cooking food placed in a MW heating device cavity. When heating food in a MW oven, two main aspects have to be considered: a) the efficiency of the heating process and b) the distribution of the absorbed MW power field, i.e. the temperature uniformity in the volume of food.

In order to achieve a uniform heating of food, it has previously been suggested to use MW stirrers, or/and to place the food on a rotating plate, or the periodic modification of an inhomogeneous MW power distribution. This type of solutions is not good enough for cooking foods like, for example, “egg custard” and “meatloaf”.

Our solution for the uniform heating of the food is a homogeneous MW power distribution inside the MW heating device cavity, obtained by using a photonic crystal in the MW range. In this case, the stirrer and/or rotating food plate are not necessary. This solution was tested in laboratory environment, in convection studies related to geology, and an international patent (PCT) was registered.

The scope of the project is to apply this solution to improve food processing in commercial MW ovens.
