Railway cars

LORUS is also used for inspection of piping that has been on supports or sleepers for some time, to see whether corrosion has developed at the contact points. But the technique can also be used for corrosion detection under insulation, inspection of pipelines at dike and road crossings, nozzle reinforcement pads or craek detection in suspension systems for railway cars. 

Lawniczak [50] proved the usability of WPC for floors in freight railway cars and sleepers. After several years long service, car floors constructed of WPC demonstrated good performance without symptoms of wear due to abrasion, tightness in all seasons of the year, and resistance to chemical or biotic erosion. 

In Upper Silesia, in the summer of 1921, while unloading caked ammonium nitrate from a railway car in order to make the work easier shot holes were bored in the material, and charged with an ammonium nitrate explosive, whereupon the charges were exploded. The detonation of these charges was followed by the detonation of ammonium nitrate contained in the car. The detonation was transmitted to ammonium nitrate in the neighbouring car. This accident claimed numerous victims and was accompanied by appreciable material damage. 

The separator would be handling approximately 420 tons/day of a turbulent mixture of oil and gas. It separates this mixture into a stream of essentially pure gas and a stream of essentially pure liquid. The widely used oilfield separator performance guarantee of a maximum liquid carryover of 0.1 gal of liquid per MMSCF of gas allows a maximum of about 10 parts of liquid carried over per million parts of material handled. This is also approximately equivalent to the loss of a I-lb chunk of coal fcom a 100,000-1b railway car filled with coal.

The a-D-glucose monohydrate crystals recovered from the crystallizer liquors are washed with cold water in a centrifuge in order to remove residual mother-liquor (greens) from crystal surfaces. The mass of wet crystals, containing 12 to 13% of water (the theoretical value for the monohydrate is 9.1%), is conveyed to a hot-air dryer, where the moisture is lowered to — 8.5%. The crystals are then sieved, in order to afford products of specified granulation, and stored in bins from which railway cars and trucks can be filled. 

Many natural fibers are finding uses in automobiles, trucks, and railway cars. One of the reasons for this is the concern for the environment and the need to use renewable resources. Natural fibers are a renewable resource and they do not exacerbate the CO2 emission problem. Not only are natural fibers environmentally friendly, they possess reasonably good mechanical properties, such as impact resistance, at a very low weight. Examples of applications of natural fibers include, among others, the Mercedes-Benz E-class automobile. More...

Slush hydrogen can be transported in the most efficient equipment now used for liquid hydrogen, with about 0.7 % melting of the solid for the same heat leak which causes 0.1 % evaporation of liquid. A four-day haul in the large railway car p] would cause a reduction in the solid fraction from 50 to about 40%. This quality can be upgraded back to 50% by a small vacuum pump on the launch site storage tank. 

Some important adaptations of a wheel used in mechanical engineering are gear, pulley, flywheel, turbine, grinding wheel, and automobile wheel. For transportation purpose, wheels are used in combination with axles. An axle is a cylindrical component on which either the wheel can be fixed or is free to rotate about the central axis of axle. If the wheel is fixed on the axle, the axle is supported on bearings and is free to rotate. In the wheels of railway car and some vehicles, the axle is fixed to the wheels and both wheel and the axle rotate in unison. In some vehicles, the axle is fixed on the vehicle and the wheels rotate around the axle. In order to reduce the friction at the wheel-axle interface, rolling-element bearings may be used. 

The packing and weighing sections for the finished products shall be nearer to the loading point of trucks (railway cars) for final dispatch to customers of the product. 

New railway projects require high reliability commitments from railway car builders to guarantee an optimal commercial service of rolling stocks. For illustration, Bombardier saw the requirements of its customers in terms of service reliability being multiplied by a factor five between a contract signed in 2001 and a new project obtained in 2007. 

The aviation sector aims at obtaining composites that fulfill the mechanical requirements but also are easily recycled and utilized after use. These materials have found application as constmction elements in the railway industry for production of railway cars and tramways and tube cars. Especially important are the... 

If a particle sticks in the molten state and then hardens, the adhesive force of this particle becomes greater. For example, for iron particles broken off in the braking of railway cars as a result of friction of the wheels on the brake blocks and bands, the area of true contact with the surface is increased because of plastic flow and, when the particles cool, they are found to be welded to the original surface [263]. 

Mass and weight affect every aspect of industry and commerce involving material objects. Material transportation—by land, sea, and air— is measured by tonnage. Each tonne or portion thereof has an associated economic cost. The vehicles used for transporting loads —such as cars, trucks, railway cars, ships, and airplanes—must be designed and...
