Exhaust system of steam turbines consists of an annular diffuser and a collector and connects the last stage turbine and the condenser. The system is used to transfer the turbine leaving kinetic energy to potential energy while guiding the flow from turbine exit plane to the downstream condenser. In the steam turbine exhaust system, distorted pressure profile is arisen by the nonaxisymmetric collector structure at the diffuser outlet, and this distorted pressure is propagated to the last stage LP turbine exit plane through the diffuser, then the last stage LP turbine experiences asymmetric back pressure. It is known that the pressure recovery performance of diffuser is strongly influenced by diffuser inflow condition. In this study, the effect of exhaust system due to the changing of inlet flow condition is observed by using CFD, and the interaction of last stage LP turbine and exhaust system is investigated by using actuator disk model as modeling of turbine blade row of exhaust hood inlet.

We present our analysis of a newly discovered galaxy-galaxy gravitational lens system in the First Look Survey (FLS) field. This object shows a highly distorted background galaxy (z=0.245) image by a nearby elliptical galaxy (z=0.08), which can be interpreted as a result of gravitational lensing. We model the lens with elliptical isothermal sphere model, and present the mass and potential distribution of the system.

The purpose of this study is to make it clear that the P. E. strip textile function well as a roughness element in a rather highly distorted scale model. A series of test has been conducted in a flume to measure the effect of P. E. strip textile for the f

A hydraulic scale model was constructed to investigate the characteristics of flows and pollutant transport in laboratory. The distorted hydraulic scale model by assuming Froude similarity was adopted to represent hydrodynamics and dispersion in a river system. The scale model was composed of water reservoir, slope control part, booster pump, distributing plate and main channel. A constructed scale model will be used to present the overall concentration profiles of tracer and a research will be performed to convert the measured values using a hydraulic scale model to real field scale.

In this paper, this study restores the distorted image to its original image by compensating for the distortion of image from a fixed-focus camera lens. The various developments and applications of the imaging devices and the image sensors used in a wide range of industries and expanded use, but due to the needs of the small size and light weight of the camera, the distortion from acquiring images of the distorted curvature of the lens tends to affect many. In particular, the three-dimensional imaging camera, each different distortion of left and right lens cause the degradation of three-dimensional sensitivity and left-right image distortion ratio. we approached the way of generalizing the approximate equations to restore each part of left-right camera images to the coordinators of the original images. The adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System is configured for it. This system is divided from each membership function and is inferred by 1st order Sugeno Fuzzy model. The result is that the compensated images close to the left, right original images. Using low-cost and compact imaging lens by which also determine the exact three-dimensional image-sensing capabilities and will be able to expect from this study.

Satellite imageries are at a greatest importance for land cover examining. Numerous studies have been conducted with satellite images and uses semantic segmentation techniques to extract information which has higher altitude viewpoint. The device which is taking these images must employee wireless communication links to send them to receiving ground stations. Wireless communications from a satellite are inevitably affected due to transmission errors. Evidently images which are being transmitted are distorted because of the information loss. Current semantic segmentation techniques are not made for segmenting distorted images. Traditional image enhancement methods have their own limitations when they are used for satellite images enhancement. This paper proposes an auto-encoder based image pre-enhancing method for satellite images. As a distorted satellite images dataset, images received from a real radio transmitter were used. Training process of the proposed auto-encoder was done by letting it learn to produce a proper approximation of the source image which was sent by the image transmitter. Unlike traditional image enhancing methods, the proposed method was able to provide more applicable image to a segmentation model. Results showed that by using the proposed pre-enhancing technique, segmentation results have been greatly improved. Enhancements made to the aerial images are contributed the correct assessment of land resources.

In a wireless communication RF transmitter, the output of a quadrature modulator (QM) is distorted by not only the linear imperfection features such as in/quadrature-phase (I/Q) input gain imbalance, local phase imbalance, and local gain imbalance but also the nonlinear imperfection features such as direct current (DC) offset and mixer nonlinearity related to in-band spurious signal. In this paper, we propose the unified QM model to analyze the combined effects of the linear and nonlinear imperfection features on the performance of the QM. The unified QM model consists of two identical nonlinear systems and modified I/Q inputs based on the two-port nonlinear mixer model. The unified QM model shows that the output signals can be expressed by mixer circuit parameters such as intercept point and gain as well as the imperfection features. The proposed approach is validated by not only simulation but also measurement.

The results of a numerical study on the performance of a propeller operating near a free surface are presented. The numerical simulations were performed for the various advance coefficients and the submergence depths of the model propeller. The effects of the model propeller size were investigated using two different model propeller sizes for all cases. The wave pattern of the free surface and the flow structure around the propeller as well as the hydrodynamic characteristics of the propeller were investigated through simulation results. The thrust and torque fluctuated and the trajectory of the tip vortex was distorted due to the interaction with the free surface. The wave pattern of the free surface was related to the tip vortex of the propeller. The decreases in thrust and torque at the small model propeller were greater than those of the large model propeller. The reduction rate of the thrust and torque increased with the advance coefficient.

The N-alkylation of 4-aminopyrimidine with a tetrahydro-3-aza-cyclopropa[c]inden-5-one, which is a model reaction of the pharmacophore of duocarmycins, was studied with a quantum chemical method. We consider two factors for the acceleration of the N-alkylation; distortion and protonation of the model pharmacophores. The distortion of the spirocyclopropyl moiety in the model spirocyclopropylcyclohexadienone could induce an intrinsic energy of 3-4 kcal/mol, but the protonation on the carbonyl oxygen of the model cyclohexadienone lowers the transition energy of the N-alkylation of 4-aminopyrimidine dramatically (~46 kcal/mol) and is considered to play a major role in the enzyme reaction. The distorted and protonated spirocyclohexadienone is exothermally relieved to a phenol with the heat of reaction of -37 kcal/mol. The protonation process is proposed to be the mode of action of duocarmycins in the DNA alkylation.

Soil liquefaction by tsunami or wave induced currents can cause serious damages to coastlines and coastal infrastructures. Although liquefaction caused by regular waves over sea beds has been extensively investigated, studies of tsunami-induced liquefaction near coastal area have been relatively rare. In this work, the hydraulic scale model has been designed and constructed to investigate the variations of wave height and sediment transport by tsunami. The distorted hydraulic scale model based on the Froude similarity was adopted to represent hydrodynamics and sediment transport in a coastal area. The scale model was composed of control box, screw axis, wave paddle and rotating coastal structure.
