  • DIESEL ENGINE’S COMBINED CARBURETION PROCESS

    pg(s) 3-4

    The carburation process in modern diesel engines practically begins with the moment of fuel injection in into the cylinder, and ends at the same time as the combustion process. The improvement and development of the carburation process depend on the injection parameters, particularly on: the motion of charge in the combustion chamber; fuel properties; combustion chamber sizes; a surface temperature; interdependent motion of charge and fuel. With a view to carburation in diesel engines, we obtain a nonhomogeneous mixture in diesel engines. First of all, the internal carburation process cannot ensure uniform distribution of the injected fuel’s steam and air. Besides, the improvement of carburation process is impeded by fact that as a result of the combustion process development there occur the fuel injection and carburation that increases that amount of fuel, which is burnt in the expansion line. All this causes increasing thermal heat losses and growing amount of toxic substances in exhaust emissions. Also, the improvement and efficiency largely depends on the length of self-ignition impeding period that directly defines the engine’s dynamic magnification factor. The paper dwells also on the possibilities of partial eradication of negative phenomena and increasing the engine’s efficiency, as well as reducing toxicity. In the engine’s intake system, the electric injector is inserted, by means of which, at the beginning of the intake process, there is carried out the injection of a certain amount of fuel in front of the inlet valve, and together with the air coming into the cylinder it creates the mixture, which occurs during the filling and compression process, and at the end of the compression process, the main amount of fuel is atomized by means of basic injector.

    By the end of the compression process, until the fuel is atomized from the basic injector, we have the depleted, but almost homogenous mixture, and therefore, this mixture is uniformly distributed in the combustion chamber. At the same time, the primary oxides, to a certain extent, are created for starting combustion. Immediately after the fuel atomizing from the basic injector, we will obtain the mixture required for combustion, and the combustion process begins earlier than during the process of the creation of a standard mixture, and this means that the length of self-ignition impeding period reduces, and consequently the efficiency goes up, and the amount of soot in exhaust emissions is reduced.

  • LOGISTICS LEGAL REGULATION PROBLEMS

    pg(s) 5-7

    Relationships that are the subject of logistics in general, in principle have still not been resolved from a juridical standpoint. Even individual types of logistics do not have holistic, integrated legal regulation. However, even the legal regulation of the transport logistics is a fragmented set of norms regulating individual types of transportation, but not a transport logistics in general.

    It is hard to imagine that in principle it is possible to develop a set of international legal standards, which would constitute a coherent legal system ensuring the functioning of macro-logistics systems, i.e. the so-called “the international logistics right" or "the right of international logistics systems”. International practice is on the way of the development of legal regulation of individual logistics operations, but not of the logistics in general.

    Many of the logistics spheres are not regulated by international law even on that level. Moreover, a large number of logistics operations is not regulated, even at the level of national law. Management of the goods distribution process, from the legal point of view, is one of the most “non-image” fields of economic activities.

    There are adopted many international agreements in the field of international goods distribution (especially in the field of transport and customs regulation). However, majority of these agreements have hardly representative character (many of them, which are adopted quite a long time ago, still await either entry into force, because they do not have the required number of ratifications).
    International trade interests, the process of international division of labor, and the internationalization of economic life have created a special tool of legal regulation – "Lex mercatoria" (international commercial law).

    pg(s) 8-10

    The role of international tourism in economic development of Georgia and its regions is very large, which involves such significant tourism objects as customer-travel agents-tour operators- tourist transport services providers. With account for interests and demands of customers, the key things here are correct planning and operative management of such complex material-information processes, as tour formation and realization. International Tourism is a highly effective basis for foreign currency inflows to the country. An advantageous form of tourism export is capable of solving a number of social and economic problems for those countries, which actively develop tourism sector

  • SIMULATION ON SINGLE CYLINDER DIESEL ENGINE AND EFFECT OF COMPRESSION RATIO AND EGR ON ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND EMISSION

    pg(s) 11-13

    In this research, the one dimensional (1D) CFD modelling of four-stroke direct injection diesel engine is developed by AVL Boost software. The performance of a diesel engine increases with increase in compression ratio. Variable compression technologies in IC engines are used to increase fuel efficiency under variable loads. Exhaust gas recirculation is a common way to control in-cylinder NOx production and is used in most modern high speed direct injection diesel engines. However the effect of EGR on performance, combustion and emissions production at different compression ratios are difficult to depict. In the present work an attempt was made to study the effects of exhaust gas recirculation on performance, combustion and emissions of a variable compression Diesel Engine. The test was conducted at different compression ratios with different loads and for different EGR rates.

  • CORROSION RESISTANCE OF LASER WELDED JOINTS OF TP347HFG AND VM12-SHC STAINLESS STEELS

    pg(s) 21-24

    The CO laser welding technique was suggested as a method of joining dissimilar materials. The corrosion resistance at high 2 temperatures of the joint of TP347HFG and VM12-SHC stainless steel was investigated. The stainless steel was butt welded. Materials were examined by the thermogravimetric method. The surface and microstructure of the sample were observed in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed the substantial intermixing of both substrates within the fusion zone. The thermogravimetric data indicate that at high temperatures and air condition the joint and the stainless steel undergo chemical corrosion. The joint has acquired medium resistance for chemical corrosion in relation to both steels.
