Conjugate Heat Transfer Analysis of an i-4 Engine including Pistons, Liners, Block, Heads, Water Cooling Jacket, and Oil Cooling Jets
Authors: Pandey Ashutosh , Schlautman Jeff , Liu Zhe , Dhar Sujan , Yashwanth Bangalore Lingaraj
Published: May 2024

Internal combustion engine (IC engine) vehicles are commonly used for transportation due to their versatility. Due to this, efficiency in design process of IC engines is critical for the industry. To assess performance capabilities of an IC engine, thermal predictions are of utmost consequence. This study describes a computational method based on unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations that resolves the gas–liquid interface to examine the unsteady single phase/multiphase flow and heat transfer in a 4-cylinder Inline (i-4) engine. The study considers all important parts of the engine i.e., pistons, cylinder liners, head, block etc. The study highlights the ease of capturing complex and intricate flow paths with a robust mesh generation tool in combination with a robust high-fidelity interface capturing VOF (Volume-of-Fluid) scheme to resolve the gas-liquid interfaces. Results obtained show the dominant processes that determine the oil distribution to be the piston speeds from reciprocating motion of the pistons and the flow rate of oil injected through the squirter jets. A novel heat transfer approach (mixed time-scale coupling) is used to solve for the temperatures in the engine solids. To resolve the heat transfer between the squirter jet flow and piston/cylinder liner, the approach separates the conjugate heat transfer calculation into a fluid heat simulation and a solid heat simulation while setting up a communication method to exchange the thermal boundary conditions between them. The communication method takes into account the changes in heat transfer from piston to cylinder liner due to changes in position of the piston. The study also considers water jacket cooling in the engine block and head to holistically assess the overall heat transfer in the engine solids. Results of thermal simulation show the solid temperatures to be in direct correlation with the oil distribution near those solids as well as the flow rate of water coolant in water jacket cooling system.
Deformation energy of a car: technical analysis and estimation ‘from experience’
Authors: Zębala Jakub , Kwieciński Karol
Published: May 2024

The article presents the results of a survey that involved determining the energy equivalent speed (EES) from experience, i.e. based solely on the photographic documentation of damaged vehicles after a collision. The aim of the study was to assess the usefulness of this method in the reconstruction of road accidents. A statistical analysis of the obtained results and a comparison between the survey results are presented in the article, i.e. the values indicated from experience and the EES values calculated based on simulations conducted in the PC-Crash program, called ‘true values’in the article. The analysis of the obtained results shows that the EES estimation using this method can at most be an auxiliary tool in the reconstruction of road accidents, as it only allows for a very rough, preliminary determination of the EES before the application of a more accurate method of determining the permanent energy of vehicle deformation.
Forensic significance of perforation pattern in polycarbonate sheet against 9 × 19 mm projectile
Authors: Prajapati Abhishek , Kumar Saurabh , Rohatgi Richa , Jaitly Tamanna , Aseri Vinay
Published: May 2024

Polycarbonate is widely used as structural material due to its extreme resistance to impact and perforation. In a crime involving firearms, the bullet may impact various objects fitted with or made of polycarbonate sheets leaving high chances of discovering the fractured PC sheets and fragments at the scene of crime; hence, these objects may become objects of the criminal investigation. In the present work the perforation pattern of PC sheets of thicknesses 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm and 15 mm at firing ranges 5 m and 10 m when impacted against 9 ×19 mm full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet were examined. It was observed that after impact, the PC sheet develops entry hole smaller than the calibre of bullet; formation of crack zone, plastic zone; and petalling on the distal face was observed. It was found that as the thickness of the sheet increases, the diameter of the entry hole increases, the diameter of the exit hole initially increases and then becomes constant. At 5 m range of fire the trend of crack zone becomes nearly constant from 8 mm to 15 mm thickness, however, at 10 m range of fire crack zone increases from 8 mm to 15 mm thickness. Furthermore, the diameter of the plastic zone increases as the thickness of the sheet increases (from 8 mm to 15 mm, respectively).
Le nom propre : arme « anti-personnel ». Analyse linguistique d’un cas et d’un examen de conscience
Authors: Achard-Bayle Guy
Published: May 2024

Starting from a literary text, we will work both in semantics (textual and referential), philosophy (of language) and cognitive sciences (for memory issues, among others). We will be interested in a case of designation which is also a “case” properly speaking, at least as presented by the title of the fiction that we are going to study: “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde”. At the end of the short story, Dr. Jekyll, in a written “confession”, recounts the whole story of his case. Facing himself, that is to say, facing his alter ego as well, he wants to consider and therefore recount his story in an objective manner. On the textual and referential levels, the choice which is then imposed on the writer-narrator is the designation of the two parts of himself by the proper name – and not by nominal descriptions which would show a distorted point of view on Hyde. That said, the identical repetition of a proper name as a coreferential designation in a chain of reference cannot go beyond two occurrences without infringing the rules of “text grammar”, even if two referents are competing, and their designation must therefore alternate.
Literary-Artistic and Folklore Onomastics: Common and Distinctive Features
Authors: Kolesnyk Nataliia , Petrenko Oksana
Published: May 2024

The expansion of studies in literary onomastics and the accumulation of a considerable number of articles and monographs in the field proved the need to generalize the theoretical material. It also led to the extension and deepening of the subject of studies. It was not only the shift in linguistics priorities that contributed to the pursuit of new research objectives, but also the intensification of research, appearance of new extraordinary scholars and the inhomogeneity of appellative context including a variety of literary texts in which proper names have to function. Subsequently, the expansion of the scope of the analysed onyms in literary texts of different genres fostered the process of division into sub-fields of studies in literary onomastics. Today we can treat literary onomastics as a complex discipline that has already incorporated several sub-fields, including fiction, folklore, mythological and biblical onomastics. There are some interesting monographs on mythonyms and folklore onyms, as well as onyms in fiction and the Bible in Ukrainian onomastics. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the peculiarities of onyms used in fiction and folklore, as well as to describe the features and regularities that give reason to create a corpus of onymic data. The next step is to identify the specific features of literary onyms, to stress their special character, and to propose a suitable methodology.
Motivation Patterns of the Names of Travel Agencies: The Case of German, Polish, and Ukrainian
Authors: Zymovets Galyna
Published: May 2024

The article focuses on analyzing motivation patterns for naming in the travel industry in Germany, Poland, and Ukraine. The research is based on a cognitive approach to proper name semantics, namely on the frame theory. Several slots and subframes have been revealed that demonstrate productivity in naming travel agents, i.e., the field of activity, place of activity, producer, recipient, axiological and symbolic subframes, and the frame of nature. The most salient domain of motivators in all the three countries is the slot of the field of activity. The difference between naming patterns across countries consists in the preference for either local or international elements, e.g., the native vocabulary is more salient in Germany than in Poland or Ukraine. Outlining a company’s specialization is also of greater importance for naming patterns in Germany. The frame of nature, i.e., geographical terms, the vocabulary of atmospheric phenomena, plants, and animals, is another significant source of commercial names in the tourism industry. Motivators from this frame are used to persuade clients to consider traveling. The producer slot is of minor importance in Ukraine and is more productive in Germany and Poland. The recipient slot serves as a tool for specifying the audience in all countries. The axiological and symbolic subframes play a more important role in Poland and Ukraine, which indicates the prevalence of persuasive strategies in business communication in these countries. The Polish naming relies more on creative techniques such as wordplay.

Authors: Lindsay Keston G. , Kirby Jessica B. , Adamson Brynn C.
Published: May 2024

This study aimed to validate a modified Statistics Anxiety Scale for students in the United States taking university courses. Modifications were made by changing the wording of several items to be consistent with American English, and to accommodate students taking statistics courses in various formats. Items were added to investigate anxiety toward the use of statistical packages, and peer mentoring. Data from 352 participants and exploratory factor analyses were used to analyze the original 24-item SAS (SAS-O) and a version of the SAS with six additional items (SAS-M). The three-factor structure for SAS-O was consistent with the original validation study, explaining about 64 % of the items’ variance. The factor structure for SAS-M contained an additional two factors, that explained a total of 68 % of the items’ variance. The factors were internally consistent, correlated with one another, and negatively correlated with Wise’s Attitude Toward Statistics scale. Male students generally had lower application anxiety and examination anxiety than female students, and lower asking for help anxiety than non-traditional students.

ECOLOGICAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND ECOLOGICAL ACTIVITY AS FORMS MANIFESTATIONS OF ECOLOGICAL CULTURE
Authors: Kaupenbayeva Samal , Alikbayeva Marzhan , Moshkanova Eldana
Published: May 2024

The article deals with the problems of the cultural determination of the formation of ecological consciousness and ecological activity in the modern world. In the scientific literature, this question is at the stage of initial development. The existing range of concepts, beliefs, and ideas in this area are characterized by extreme instability, and polyphony, which makes it timely, in this regard, to study the cultural and ideological prerequisites for the formation of an ecological culture system. Another aspect of the actualization of the problem is the need to concretize the goals of applying the concept of the formation of ecological consciousness in practice, that is, the need for a methodological analysis of the ways of its concrete implementation. Determining the direction and effectiveness of the impact of conceptual values can become the basis for rebuilding existing and creating new cultural and ideological programs.
FEATURES OF THE CULTURE-BUILDING APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL POTENTIAL OF THE PERSON IN THE CONTEXT OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL KNOWLEDGE IN ISLAM

Published: May 2024

The Islamic religion occupies a special place in the development of moral values, determining the embodiment of cultural, spiritual, and moral qualities that form the basis for the educational capabilities of the individual in Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is to analyse the religious and cultural features of the moral values and capabilities of Islam in the process of the individual’s educational development. The following methods were used to achieve the research objectives: generalisation, survey, and comparative. The study results have determined that the important aspects of the culture-building paradigm of the educational process are to consider the cultural and religious characteristics of the modern environment in which learning takes place. In educational institutions, Islam is based on the principles of morality and ethics, which are the basis of a person’s spiritual and moral development, paying attention to a wide range of related factors that affect this process. According to the survey, students who study the Islamic religion, one way or another, use the instilled values in everyday life. Among the main spiritual and moral qualities that are associated with national and cultural identity, it is worth highlighting: respect for elders, traditional customs and rituals, language, and literature. Although there are different spiritual movements represented in educational institutions in Kazakhstan, nevertheless, the content of the Islamic religion converges in its vision of educating a person as an educated, honest, kind, tolerant, and merciful person. However, it is worth bearing in mind that for the productive development of educational potential, it is important to consider the modern values and principles of the culture of a post-secular society. The practical significance lies in the use of the study results by academics, by specialists in religious studies and spiritual education.
