Applications of an Infrared Imager for Determining Temperature Fields in Gas Flows

A device containing a temperature converter with an infrared camera is described. Its application allows one to instantly measure the temperature field of a gas flow in regions of arbitrary sizes.     

A note on the first-passage problem and VanMarcke’s approximation — short communication

Given a scalar, stationary, Markov process, this short communication presents a closed-form solution for the first-passage problem for a fixed threshold b. The derivation is based on binary processes and the general formula of Siegert [Siegert AJF. On the first-passage time probability problem. Physical Review 1951; 81:617–23]. The relation for the probability density function of the first-passage time is identical to the commonly used formula that was derived by VanMarcke [VanMarcke E. On the distribution of the first-passage time for normal stationary random processes. Journal of Applied Mechanics ASME 1975; 42:215–20] for Gaussian processes. The present derivation is based on more general conditions and reveals the criteria for the validity of the approximation. Properties of binary processes are also used to derive a hierarchy of upper bounds for any scalar process.     

Functional of Receptor Sensitivity and Adjoint Equations

The functional of receptor sensitivity of a territory to the disposition of emission sources can adequately be calculated with the use of the mathematical apparatus of adjoint equations. The solutions of these equations allow one to determine the action of pollutants in the form of aerosols or harmful gaseous impurities on the environment and human health. Examples of calculation of the sensitivity functional on the basis of solution of adjoint equations have been presented. Mathematical models for the typical equations on optimum placement of industrial plants have been formulated. An interpretation of the results obtained has been given.     

Transmission line analysis of nonlinear slot coupled microstrip antenna

The transmission line method is used for the analysis of microstrip antennas fed by several nonlinear slots with 'H' shapes or new geometries. This analysis allows the input impedance of nonlinear slot coupled microstrip antennas to be calculated for the four different structures.<>
